Fish Room and Indoor Pond 24' by 7' by 4'

[AW7020]

Sorry first. Plenty busy. the usual. Got a bit of problems to sort out. The pond is ok now no leaks and will be doing the filter next. Got some pics but
had a little problem with the glass and silicon seal to the cement walls and so will have to retify that as well.

Will only post on the filter making sections when it is completed. however it have been raining and so not much could be done. Was in a hurry on one of the glass panels and it broke when water tested due to the pond wall still being damp when done.

Till the filter thing then cheers.

great filter system

What if....

I want to ask a question about something dealing with how to fix a pond of this same design that leaks?

Lets say that you all own a pond just like the one being built in this topic.
Lets also say that you also have found that the cement leaks and needs to be sealed before you can fill with water and add fish.

Is there a type of coating that you could roll on or spray on that would make the pond waterproof?

Given the shape of this pond, with the many pipes and long walls, is a pond rubber liner workable?

What would you do?

For my end. back up using the industrial epoxy floor sealer. but rather costly. Luckily did not have to go for this option..

Nice!

wow i will enjoy watching this .... i thought there was alot more to this thread..just realized i missed so much....

Thanks for readin Red. and welcome. sure love your arowana postings. Huge following i must say.

They clean debris from the top of the water, nothing like a S/W skimmer .

Thank Doc. As per you usual tip top concise explaination. Wonderful.
yes to clear the outside filter from the fallen leaves, rubbish etc..

The design of this type of pond has with it an outdoor pond filter section thats very big.
Never can tell what might land in there...

Already found lots of bugs, leaves, plus the children sweets wrappings ..

wow awesome thread....keep the updates coming.

Sure will do.

is it going to be salt water? why a skimmer? they do nothing for freshwater

May not be using the skimmer. depends on the feedback that the pond gives when the filter is running. other options would be O3 - using an ozonator. more U/V ... so many different things. well have to wait and see how the filter copes with the load when it is done b4 adding those stuff.

Any progress reports yet and some more pictures!!

regards

tim

Will do Tim when the filter are completed.
Got to solve a few silicon on cement issues first...
cheers.
