A bit larger pics.. i hope.
Filtration wil be buildt from scratch.
There are three 110 mm bottomdrain + two 110 mm surface skimmers.
Filter capasity will be around 15-20 000 liters. With three vortex chambers. One for each bottom drain.
All drains are spindrifters.

Tell the truth Vidar-Alexander, you did this just to get out of mowing the grass didn't you?!

This is a fantastic build, thank you so much for sharing with us. And don't you don't have to apologize for your English if we just don't have to try and speak Norwegian .

Does it freeze over much?

What do you do with the filtration during the winter?

Looks like you have a few days of high temps coming in too, almost balmy .

Thats 100 % right... or at least one good reason...

In a normal winter there is around 40-60 cm ice on top of the pond..Enough to hold a hockey team i think...
And up to one meter + with snow...

In the cold season skimmers and piping wil be drained and plugged.
Filtration wil go on 30-40 % capasity, with only deep water in/out. Not to mutch movment in the water.
