Fish Room and Indoor Pond 24' by 7' by 4'
- Thread starter AW7020
- Start date
The sizing of the Shower Layers and width was done after this testing.
Was using the new pump to gauge the flow rates and also to get
an idea of the water spray from the shower head.
Ended up making the media tray 4ft long by 1ft wide for each layer.
BTW the fishes are all still in here. They have grown and now more than 24" in length size. One or two now rather fat. too much food?

More Cutting and Joining for the Base Frame and tray holders.
All the 3 tiers for the media is now completed.
Next will have to setup the piping for the 2 pumps and the shower heads.
In the meantime more pictures of the frame this post and next one

More base frame pics. Length wise and edge on.
The 1st picture shows the frame and u can actually see the indoor pond just behind the grill door, or rather the walls of the pond.
The closeup shows the 1/2 inch pvc for the tray.
A little T section to keep the tray positioned within the frame.
One top end of the Base frame was used to hold up the shower head.
This will be apparent when the shower head section is fixed.
Last picture shows the completed Base Frame with two of the media trays next to it

Lining up the two pvc pipes to the shower head from the outside sump.
A temp. Electrical extension was done to test the pumps.
Pic.1 shows the initial pipe test.
Pic.2 shows the installed pipes which is higher than the tested configuration.
Green roll of electric extension seen at the far end of the sum.
Pic.3 shows the pipe passing over the window ledge before going to the shower heads.
Rather untidy at the moment will have to tidy that up.

Pic.1 Two Incoming Pipes to the Shower Heads
Pic.2 The Temp Power Extension for the pumps
Pic.3 The joints for the Pumps.
Have designed the incoming piping to have as few joins and angles as possible.
In this case ended up with two 90 degrees (elbow joints) from the pump.
This should help to keep the flow rate up.
