And now for the nitty gritty stuff for the serious pond connoisseur.
It holds around 5875 gallons (UK) of water and the filter system is all Hozelock Cyprio. We have a new Prima 15000 pump (We had a lot of trouble with the Prima 3250 until we persuaded Hozelock Cyprio to replace it!) This feeds into a Green Genie 6000, going through an UV first and a huge Mag-n-it. We try not to use chemicals unless it can be helped - even when treating the fish. (Goldfish, Shubunkin, Orfe, Tench, Rudd and some Koi.) So we use stuff like Stress Coat and the new Tea Tree Oil Stuff. (Melafix) We have been careful not to overstock (in fact as far as fish inches are concerned we are quite under stocked but it is better that way!) We enjoy our pond very much. So far every year has been different as it has continued to evolve. We have had loads of wildlife from the birds to frogs and dragonflies.
Here are some fishy links!
