Hi Epal, as what Chris said, its a surface skimmer, it helps to get rid of bubgle/ foam on surface of the pond especially oily surface that contributed by the food pallets. I think there is some flaw in the design as normally, u dont need to clean up the foam as it will go directly into your filter chamber and disintegrate itself? maybe you want to share how the set up was? FYI, its not a Protein Skimmer as what Chris has done. Anyway, once your pond is matured, u dont really need Protein Skimmer. Those foams are normally sign of your water parameters are deteriorating or you may have salt in your pond. After draining a couple of times 10 to 20% of your pond water, it will be gone as long as your filtration is matured.
Chris, your water seems to have improved.Do you have bandaraya in your pond? looks like plenty of algae and those fellow can help cleaning those green algae but as usual, pls make sure u quarantine them good, more than koi as u cant really see if they are infected wtih disease....
