wow looking good russ,i been following your build on a few forums, wish i had room for a pond that size.
Keep the hard work up

well all the blocks are laid now thank god!!! that took some time. i have also just recieved a oase 15000 pump and 2 55w tmc uv lights (i wont be using them both) plus loads of pipe, fittings etc all thanks to my gramp. next job for me is to get the ground behind the pond leveled and concrete base d...

all filters and equipment will be going behind the pond, hopefully out of sight, i am planning on putting a pergola up and some kind of wicker covering across the back to hide the area behind the pond (thats the plan anyway)

it will be around 1300g with out filters. I think the filteration will be 3 vortexs and i think i have a multichamber as well now. My dad and my gramp has kindly give me the 3 vortexs 12000 lph pump and a 55w tmc uv, i also think he will have a multichamber filter which i havent seen yet. I am lucky...

oh forgot to say, i have already studied k1 conversions on vortexs this is what i was planning on doing.

thanks for the fast reply, i hadent decided on the shower media yet, maybe just alfagrog or something, i am a marine and trop keeper and complete new to koi filteration so any info would be cool. this koi world is a complete different thing from a glass box in me living room lol

hi, im fairly new on here, been reading loads of posts though over the last few months. i am about half way though my new pond build and was just wondering if you think my filter setup i am planning on will work. the pond is around 1330g with bottom drain 4ft under ground and about 1.5ft above groun...

to be on the safe side you could put a earth stake in the ground and just dangle the cable in the water, then if there is a fault the rcd should trip. if there is a slight water leak on your submersable it will only get worse over time which means maybe a bigger electric shock!!! good luck in findin...
