Does this seem over stocked ????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
all depends on filtration in my book....hope it's hellaciously over done...
 
Josh, Koi filters is a little vague. What are you saying here, vortex, vortexes, bead, beads, bakki shower, bakki showers or a combination of all?

ill see what i can get would all be good then ?
Er no, koi filters are a bit unpractical on an indoor pond(that's still the idea right?)

Vortexes really need to be fed via bottom drain and as a guide regardless of the media and number of chambers need to equal about a third of the ponds surface area, not including the first settling chamber(btw if you read my pond thread I know I've not got enough...yet;))

Beads are good but expensive, you may get away with running one on that pond to the tune of about a grand sterling.

Bakki showers can be done diy fairly cheaply and although they are simply fantastic at filtration there are a couple of draw backs even with an outside pond. First is space and noise, second if you go for the proper BHM media in them, you'll need a new mortgage to pay for it, when you get into the relms of natutal infared radiation.

What's the total volume planned?
