100 tons pond, No Need!!!!!! Can't Post
Last week, I visited my friend's pond, "Peter", which is actually owned the ranchu farm "Absolute Ranchu". Last year in February, I went there once with my friend "+2p". He asked me to see his pond and would like us to comment for improvement.



Backgroud
His pond capacity is 30 tons with 18 tons of filtration system in "L" shape. He used only 1x18 tons/hr submersible pumb and 1x200 Hiblow.

There was no roof to prevent the falling leafs. He used the net to prevent them.

As you seen, the condition of the pond. I and +2p recommended him to make changes. Last week, I visited him again with the Koi floks. Yes, he made a lot of changes including:

1. put more air pump. Most of us always forgot about it.

He put 2x200 Hiblow and 1x120 Medo altogether.

Tomorrow, I will post the incredible koi pictures. After saw all kois which is only 8, I was very frustrate because most of the koi were at the same age of mine with the same breeder.

Yes, I definitely will modify my pond again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mikoi, you are correct. It is placed in the first chamber as mechanical fitration.



The water flows from the bottom liked up flow. The vent in the honey comb is zig-zag shape allowed debris to settle downward.

CoolCoolCool Looks like the good doctor needs to take his own advice and medicine so that he can play catch up with his patient...CoolCoolCool Did you find out what he feeds his kois and how much?. Maybe you need to increase feed to 2 % and 24 times like one of Larry's friend..Laugh

By the way, How many air stoones is your friend powering with his 200 watt airpump?
