My indoor pond

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
all of it looks good..... need pics of the koi though
 
Rather than start a new thread - I am just adding on.
I am almost done building a new turtle pond. It is 2 ponds that they can swim in. There will be some kind of substrate around the ponds, ramps for going in and out of the water, UVB lights. I have to take them out of the big pond next to it so I can feed the stingrays easier. They will do just as well in this one if not better.

The ponds are just regular outdoor ponds. I just framed the bejeebers out of them for support. The glass around the perimeter is plexiglass. I didn't want to use glass in case it got bumped by the hilo. I hope to have it mostly detailed today.
Yes - (Crepe) Susette is doing very well. She is swimming around. She was sleeping in a corner with the other 2 this morning. I am hoping she will eat for me today. We named her that cause no one liked taco or burrito for a name. So now I have Pizza Pie, Pancake and Crepe Susette. Thank you SO much. She is just gorgeous. As the sand is falling off you can really see her markings.
 
I am not sure what you are asking. I have both indoor and outdoor ponds. I like them both. You have about the same climate I do. With the outdoor pond, I remove the tropical plants and drop the lotus to the bottom of the pond and unplug the miscellaneous fountains. The waterfall runs all year of course for oxygen. I keep koi in the big pond and goldfish and shubunkins and fantails in all my small ponds. All but the koi are brought in for the winter.
The indoor pond is nice as I can play with it all year. I have stingrays and koi and shubunkins and goldfish and fantails and plecos and rosies and guppies. There was an upside down catfish but I don't know where it went. Since it is in a manufacturing shop, I don't have any humidity issues.
Electrical is easier indoors. Digging those trenches for wiring outside is a pain.
The new turtle pond I am making is 7 foot x 4 foot and 2 foot tall. It is surrrounded by plexiglass for viewing. You can keep any fish in a pond that you keep in an aquarium. You just have to have the right conditions. Like a heater for tropicals, none needed for goldfish or koi.
