Indoor Pond Pics - 1100 gallons

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Did you look into that dehumidifier yet? Does anyone know how much a decent dehumidifier would cost? I'm about to be building a decent sized pond probably around 600-800 gallons in the next few weeks and will be needing a dehumidifier I'm sure. Also could you please post pics of the DIY filter setup you have in detail for an idea. I think you should be turning over a little more water probably closer to 3000 gallons once you get that pond stocked up a little more. Thanks ~Trent
 
Sorry, but you will need to do your own homework on this one. I dont remember where I found the DIY filter, but it was pretty easy to google it and make it from there. As for the dehumidifier, I havent needed one.

I would normally agree on the filter rate as well, but I have had a dozen fish 9 inches or larger in there for 9 months now without a single outbreak of disease or a single fatality not due to jumping over the side. Therefore, I am guessing the filters I have are sufficient. I use a filstar rated at 300gph in addition the DIY one that runs about 900. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

How do you view the fish?? It kind of needs cosmetic help bro........looks like something you'd see in a bait shop. How big is the pump and how much increase in electricity costs per month?
 
i like it! i wish i would have thought of that when i had my oscars.... but my mom thought that only koi and goldfish would do well in a pond.. that's when she decided that she wanted koi... go figure
 
Gee thanks, gunther. The pump is 900gph plus 300gph on another filter.

This tank is really not a show tank or anything. It is in my basement after all. I just use it as an inexpensive place to house a lot of fish. No one sees it much, so I dont plan to do much different on the cosmetics.

I dont know on elec costs. I havent noticed a big difference.

I have several aquariums that are a little more showy. This one is really just for utility.
