So, I’ve wanted a pond for as long as I can remember.
The wife gave the go ahead so I’ve started looking into it! Got a bit excited and did a quick layout.
Looked into pumps/filters and liners so will list what I’ve seen below!
I want to keep koi in there as well as some others probably some golden orf and good fish.
Here’s the layout : 2600mm long and 1400mm at its widest. Plan to have a variety of shelves around 15cm to 30cm. With the deepest been around 90cm in the middle where the pump will go.
Rough volume will be 3500L
I have priced up a pump and filter set up from all pond solutions, looking at 2.3 turn over an hour. Not ideal for koi I know but the price jumps considerably for the 12000lph pump. And I think it would be too powerful for the pond anyway! As I was a natural stone waterfall in the corner.
Here’s the filter:
Any and all advice would be very much appreciated!! I have never had a pond before so I’m all ears! So before I buy anything or break ground I’d like some reassurance!
Thanks
Thom
