Hello all,
I inherited my late grandfathers pond a couple of years ago (Blagdon Affinity Grand Octagon) with a Koi and numerous goldfish. The koi is far too large for it and I’m thinking of building my own pond with railway sleepers.
My plan so far is 2.4m length x 1.2m width x 1.1m depth (30cm underground). This should give approx 3168 litres
I guess I’ll need a concrete base underneath the sleepers at the edge, and a bed of sand for the bottom of the liner.
As for filtration and keeping it clean, would something like this be suitable:

I’ve read a lot about the Nexus kits but they are way out of my price range and maybe overkill for what I’m after.
Any advice given would be much appreciated!
