Inground Outdoor pond for Murry Cod....

[Chooka]

Ok, been looking round for a good filter, found this one that would be nice http://www.pondsupplies.com.au/pondshop/product.php?productid=16172&cat=250&page=1

Or i could use a couple of these http://www.pondsupplies.com.au/pondshop/product.php?productid=16354&cat=250&page=1

But this option is going to be expensive.....

Would someone like Dr Joe be able to give me some ideas on a DIY job i could use, at least untill i save for something above...

Thanks,
Brett

How about some recommendations...are you talking sand? cartridge? D.E.?

All will have to be cleaned every couple of days if your lucky! I've used all three and they are too efficient for ponds since you don't need crystal clear water for a pond (your not looking all the way thru it like an aquarium).

What's needed is a W/D, we just need to figure out what's best for his situation (barrels / tub / inground etc.) .

Nothing as yet, been a bit slack and just back from a fishing trip on the Murry with some mates so the pond has been on the back burner for a bit

if you want a natural look...dig it, pond liner, wire mesh then concrete it

you dont need to clean a sand one every couple of days. i was thinking a sand one as it is extremely effecient for bio and mech filtration.
