  There is. Hire Atlantis water garden and drop 80 K to do it for you. Or run all the plumming to a shed where you can run nexus filters, seive filter etc. DIY is what I did and it's all hidden behind a fence. Lol

  I know I’m late to this video… and I like the idea of this filter and to be honest I’m struggling BAD right now with my 1000gl when I opened things up from winter all hell broke loose.. anyway.. I fear this method u have wld be a crazy nitrate/nitrite factory… have u ever had any problems with ur water chemistry using this? And do u still do things this way.

  If you look over my videos you will see that I still use this filter today. Well over a decade later nothing has changed. You will never have water chemistry issues with this filter as it uses stone. Which is exactly what's in peoples ponds. Rocks and stone. It Adds a place for all the beneficial bacteria to grow. Take a look at my latest videos to see the pond quality. I'm way overstocked. I have NEVER worried about water chemistry. People go nuts over trying to chase something that's really not easy to control. If you have poor water chemistry problems its 100% a root cause of bad filtration and poor anaerobic bacteria growth. You need tons of Bio filtration. So put in a huge bog filter, or build a sand and gravel filter. Nothing good happens fast in a pond.

  nice video, thanks. Is it that the size of the mesh will determine what sort of slime/muck you'll pick up? has the bag ever been too heavy to pull out?

• 
  @RobsKoiPond2 жыл бұрын

  Mesh size will always determine the materials you can get out. In this case I used a large hole mesh bag just for rocks and large materials. Never too heavy to lift out. This would be way more efficient with a large air pump. I want to try it with high volume aquarium pump instead of an air compressor next. Don't need air pressure but rather more air volume.

  Depends on your system and how much bioload you have. But mine is about once a week when it's primed for the season. Takes a month of warm weather to get the water running with beneficial bacteria. Water will need blown out when you see the water tunneling in the sand.

Like you have to use Rodi for this. No you don't... it's less than 1 cup of boiling tap water and won't do anything to your water parameters. I never listened to them. Never did water changes, just had my auto top off running and my tank and looked better than thoes who obsessed and screwed around with thier tanks all the time. Never chased water parameters either. The solution just let nature do its job!!. Don't read into things too much.

  Hi, so you said you have a gradient of gravel grit size going through your gravel filter... When you clean it by blasting air through it does this not mix the gravel grit sizes together? How do you stop that from happening?

• 
  @RobsKoiPond3 жыл бұрын

  Because you're only blowing enough air through the filter to boil the crushed granite (chicken grit) if you get some kind of high powered blower it'll mix and drop to the bottom of the filter. But the leaf blower shop vac I use doesn't do it. Easy fix if it does. Add a ball valve to the inlet pipe and restrict airflow.

• 
  @alexanderx333 жыл бұрын

  So you made a sand filter upside down? Never would have thought of that. flowing the water slow enough that it doesn't mobilize the filter particles. So when you inject air to mobilize the fishwaste for backwash the larger particles stay lower. Does that depend on the specific flowrate? I would think not enough air you'd get the larger gravel not moving and too much air without tapering the flowrate at the end you'd get the gravel locking in place further up, not having a chance to seperate from the sand.
