Message: [QUOTE="CometKeith, post: 500976, member: 2912"] I haven’t been on much lately but here is a little update on my pond. My external pump for my bead filter broke about a month ago. It took me almost a week to diagnose the problem and determine it needed replacing. The new pump took almost two weeks to get. Fortunately my fish all did okay because I’m guessing my bog filter still did a good enough job cycling the waste with the bead filter not working. I purchased a stronger pump with 2” outlets instead of 1.5” because I’m thinking of getting a larger bead filter next year and wanted something compatable with a larger bead filter (8000-10000 gallons). I did all the new pvc connections myself instead of asking a plumber friend to help me and everything came out good. My filter has a much stronger outlet flow now with the better pump. The water did get a little mirky with the pump and bead filter out but fortunately all the fish were okay. I did cut down the feeding because I no idea if the bog would be okay by itself. End of story the fish are doing well with the new setup and my water is looking cleaner with the new pump. Also I was recently interviewed by someone doing an article on people with backyard urban Koi ponds but don’t want to talk about it until it gets published! If it gets printed it will be very exciting :) Here are a few pics I took today. The first 3 pics the fish were going crazy because they wanted to get fed![ATTACH type="full"]154101[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]154102[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]154103[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]154106[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
