    menna gedara pond ekak hadanna enna ayata upades

    Here is a pond that I did this past summer. I had a 220 gallon insert prior to going bigger. It was home to 55 gold fish - over crowded.




    The old pond became a holding tank




    While I was waiting for a backhoe to show I dug a 4x4x4 hole under the staircase for the settlement tank. The tank is 275 gallons






    3 feet deep


    I had some problems getting the settlement tank into the hole. The staircase needed to be lifted only a few inches.

    The soil was like powder due to the root system. It took some work to work the roots and walls.




    Started toying with a wall for the stream, it didn't pan out - looks wise.
    The 4 inch bottom drain was plumbed in to the 275gal settlement tank. 1 1/2 pvc runs out by the shed from the tank to flush the fish poo. Also a 3/4 pvc line was ran for air supply to help draw in crud into the drain.


    This is my DIY filters - 55gal drums - sand and gravel filters.


    gravity return roughly 18 inches from pond bottom (TPR)


    I used some old carpet to protect the liner, I also plumbed in a walmart pool, skimmer. Opposite side of the skimmer you can see a return from the sand and gravel filter.


    the lower port under the skimmer is another return (TPR) and above that is a mid level pickup


    liner in and getting filled


    Within 20 minutes of turning on the pump it poured rain and well the water quailty got nuked. The pump is a es4500 (gph)


    worked the wall for a small stream, ran 3in pvc pipe out to the filters min headloss.
