hahah how u'd kno? 1,800gallons, filtration will be that Rubbermaid that the babbies are in so that is 54gallons with a 2,000gph pump. Right now the filtration has loads of carbon and pads(24gallons) but i plan on putting scrubbies in the final filter. and some pond plants later on.

Update: water is hard anyone know how to fix that? and how can i help heal my lil cat faster? or should i leave him? last question! can they go without maybe 2-3days without food? am going to San Diego.

Peat moss or a lot of drift wood. But it's kinda to late to worry about PH now since the cats are in the pond. Stay consistent with PH.

For me, I would have waited to put the cats in the pond. What's the temp of the pond? I would say "add salt and raise the temp", Can you even do that? Now your going to remove the injured cat, place in a QT tank, treat him, THEN move him again...stress can/will kill these guys.

As for starving them for a couple days. Over feed them 1 day prior to you leaving you'll be good for a couple days.

I hope in the future you will up your pump and your whole filtration.

How did you cycle the pond?

Where is the big guy?!!

 

[Zfishies]

Can't get pics of the big guy I'll try to get a shot of him when he is eating he hides under the bucket And nook he is doing alot better he I swiming and eating now I don't think I want to stress him out, and am no where near done with filteration an saving up for those 90gallon trash cans and will fill it with scrubbies with another 2,000gph pump along with the 54gallon filter
