New turtle/fish room construction (500g pond)

[Maxime]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Life got in the way. :/

In received and installed the new liner. I also installed the pieces of wood over the pond to make a cleaner look. I will be painting them soon.

Then when I'm sure the liner won't move anymore. I will install the 3 bulkheads and do the plumbing.

Also, the computer is working great. I tested the live webcam stream and it works flawlessly.

Nice! Wish I could build something like this for my turtles.

Painted the top of the pond and installed the 3 bulkhead. Now I have to wait a week for the sealant to cure.

I hurt my back pretty bad this morning while shoveling snow. Don't know how much I'll be able to do in the next couple of weeks.

That's a shame, get well soon!

Pain meds are working pretty good.

I'll go buy plumbing supplies after work and see if I can work on that tonight.

Did some plumbing work.

The outtake from the filter with ajustable nozzle and the hose from the 190g/day drip system.


The overflow.


Overflow and intake to the filter.


That's what I've done so far.


I also test fitted the pump and filter. The pump is rated at 700gph and the filter is rated for ponds up to 1400 gallons. I'm using it because I already had it. If it doesn't do the job I'll upgrade.
