pond is filled and stocked!
I've been mainly mainly lurking for, what a year now...., anyway thanks
everyone for their help. Pond is filled, pumping and stocked. Here is a picture of my wife and i toasting the opening. http://www.injection-moldings.com/EB...nd/toast1s.jpg Here is what I hope is a very clever VF design. Water pumps from underneath. I built a frame that holds florescent light grid panels. To clean it I hope to be able to lift the panel I want and clean under it. We planted it with wonderful stuff we found in a local creek; watercress, several rushes, cat tails, parrot feather, and several other things I have no clue what they are. Here's a shot of the frame and grid: http://www.injection-moldings.com/EBPAGE/pond/vf4s.jpg. Filtration is a bottom drain hidden in a pot and a no-niche skimmer. Both are gravity drained with 3" pipe (big headache changing to 3") http://www.injection-moldings.com/EB...%20drainss.jpg We also bought a lotus and lily and a few other things at the pond store. Thanks again for all the help. Lots of work left to do! (OK, I must be hooked. I was at a friends house around their small swimming pool and all I could thing was what a nice size koi pond this would be.) Mark Bannister |
