What happened to your big pond?

well i had to close it for a number of reasons. First, it started to leak, then i had that temperature problem and then the motor burned out. So i decided to start a new indoor 500 gallon pond. it currently has my pacu.

I have no clue, sorry.

no probs

Big pump in the pond, feeds a barrel higher than the pond and the water trickle down in the pond with gravity. Tried and proven method. Protec the cord of the pump somehow if you have pacus in there

... And the barrel contains media (pumice or other).

You can use a mix of filtration methods to efficiently filter a 500-gallon pond that is heavily stocked. A biological pond filter should be considered first. To further ensure the pond remains clean and avoid biological filter overload, it is essential to use a mechanical filter to physically remove organic waste, debris, and dirt from the water. It is crucial to include aeration into the pond to guarantee enough oxygenation and avoid stagnation. Your heavily stocked 500-gallon pond can be successfully filtered and kept fish-friendly by following these instructions and taking your pond's unique requirements into account.

After you get filter a figured out , research keeping it warm in winter , even gold fish like 70 degrees water , 500 gallon is small , with a pro level filter you could have about 40

I used a DIY foam fractionation for my 500 gal pond.
The plans were found on the Koiphen web site, under DIY, Phoam Phractionator, I scaled those plans down a bit because the one the plans fit, was for a much larger pond.
In the video below, you can see it working, converting the products of waste into foam, that drops on the ground instead of staying in the water.
