Koi Pond Project

Ok, so I did a little homework and THINK I know what I want to do with the setup now after some consultation with Eddies Aquarium. I decided as much as I didnt want to to take out the island b/c

  1. Smoothing the liner around that would be a PITA and look like junk all wrinkled up, and
  2. The liner Id need to do that was over $1000!

So today I hucked the island out, and got it close.

Heres a schematic I made of the pond as advised by Jess@Eddies, lmk what you think and if there is anything different you would do… I thought the pump/pickup should be moreso in the middle, but idk…

so the question is, if we shit in the pond…will we see it come over the waterfall?

That schematic is SRS BZNS. I never would have understood the concept w/o seeing it! thx:hug!:tongue

I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Diarhia (sp?) will def come over the falls! :rofl

I guess it depends on the size of the turd itself, if youre workin with something over 2’’ OD we might have a clog and have to backwash that shit, which would fire it over into the dyke neighbors yard lol.

My balls. Eats them! There are alot of schematics that are super confusing and retardedly overdone it seems, Im just trying to do this the easiest way possible with still having it function correctly.

THIS ^! Please no doo doo brown water!! :lol

Should’ve talked to Bob@Eddie’s. Got me a 99.2% discount on a liner for my 100,000 gallon goldfish pond. Final cost was $71.53 out the door for everything including fish.

Hmm…

I think with the pump/pickup at the end and the waterfall at the other end is the way to go. That way you’ll have a steady current of water and no stagnant area (if you had the pump in the middle). Looks good man! You should setup an underwater camera and a TV on the wall in your house like a fish tank haha

can i come learn how to swim yet?

The shim pump and savio will be dope. I have the same set up with my pond but just a bigger shim pump.Water will be crystal clear and you can have some big motherfuckers in there withought having an issue.Hope they helped you out adam !!!

got room for a silver aro??

aha oh yea !

when this fucker gets about 25"…you want him?

This will help your waterfall flow better by a great deal. Don’t cheap out and make sure to get Motorcraft SW-3 solonoids. You’ll fry the lesser ones on all the voltage :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

ahha yea , too bad it wont winter over !

Laduke… your like deuce bigalow

lmao … I have 2 feet koi already so why not ?

:rofl

Or since the pump probably runs on AC, take a old microwave transformer and wire that in. You should be able to get like 2kV to the pump :rofl

lol. you won’t be able to keep the power on, just tap the switch!!!
