I wanted feed back regards turn over rate before I went and got a pump so thank you all for that, now it`s time to get pump and tunr over pond twice an hour, I will keep you posted thanks.

Thanks lads,

The inlet for the pump is located a foot below surface so very little solid waste goes into brush chamber wich is pulled regual.

I`m thinking of getting an Blagdon anphibious P8000 1800 gallons an hour, so it turns the pond over twice an hour.

900 gallons pond.
I`m pumping into a big brush chamber to aerated K1 and wanted to know if it`s better to have a faster turn over rate than once every 1hr 25mins for the media i`m using, if it`s best to go faster, up to twice an hour is that ok ?

Hello all,

Has anyone got an or spare Sequence Pond Pump Strainer Basket they will part with ??

Thanks.

Thank you lads.

Thanks Bob, I looked at the cost of BHM and after I got up off the floor I think im going to go with Vortex packed with brushes having water enter the chamber a one quarter up from base into aerated K1, taking water from the upper quarter of the pond and regual bottom vacuuming. Will I benefit using...

The K1 is aerated and money has been spent on rebuilding retaining wall holding filter bank for main pond, so I have to use what i`ve got.

Though I do like the idear of a shower..

I`m soon going to be setting up a new QT tank 6ft x 3.5ft circul and i`m unsure on choice of of filter setup, I have a good K1 chamber but dont know which would be a better setup, good size vortex chamber filled with brushes into a K1 chamber, or a small multi bay chamber (vortex, brushes, jap mat, ...

Hi craigmason71

I have a free standing tank I use for quarantine, it`s size is 5.2ft x 3.6ft x 2ft, it has holes cut for in, out feeds and over flow and a hole in base for bottom drain, £40 to you, if you want pics let me know.

Thanks lads,

I rang my local builders yard and they do a 8 x 16 sheet for £25, its for the slab the filters will sit on.

How deep does the concrtet slab need to be for filter 3 big hydro units, the ground area I have for this slab is 10ft x 3ft ?

Thanks,

Russ.

How much does one sheet of reinforcement mesh cost ??

Use solvent weld pressure pipe (grey) from bottom drain, dry test all pipe, fittings and mark with pencil before you glue in place. Concrete thickness depends on soil type, brown wet clay, hard grey clay, sandy soil. Also give this [url=http://www.koicymru.co.uk/const2aa.htm0]Method 3 paragraph 3[/u...
