Surprisingly, no, all my small hang out at the inlet side.
I like your pond the skimmer Was interesting do you get fish in the skimmer much. I think I would cover the filer area with a top but I must say that was fun to watch you have one with your pond all finished that I would like to see.
It would be great to have an experienced ponder like you on our site!
I like your pond videos and want to invite you to join a pond site to share your stuff!

i meant is there a way without electricity.
Thanks!
Watch the temperature, tropical fish can’t handle the extremes and won’t survive below 68 or so…
Ummm.. A pump?
Kewl pond dude!! Thumbs up! I’ve always wanted to make my own tropical fish pond.
dude, how do you get the water to come through the pipes anyway? mines wont work.
I did add plants right into the filter, check out my update video. I did it mainly to make the filters a bit more attractive. Just make sure they dont fill up with plants and run over!
Tou’ve asked the best Qs so far. I didn’t make the outlest of the filters quite low enough, so yes, a majority of the water runs right over the filter.
And I do have a pre skimmer filter but it needs work, it’s very difficult because if it clogs, then the pump runs dry. The problem is how to catch the junk but not the water!
won’t the water by-pass the boxes as the media gets dirty? Wouldn’t it have been simpler to put the filter boxes at the entrance to the skimmer/sump? I am designing a pond for our new house right now, how has this layout worked for you over the last year?
Question, I’m really new to this and my first project will be smaller in scale compared to yours. I wanna try this filter idea but I was wondering can you build a Bio bog and a filter into one system? Maybe by adding plant life to the filter? But ether way i’ll be trying this when I get home from Iraq.

Getting close.
what did you attach the liner with
I’d like to see an updated video of how this project has evolved.
Looks awful.
I actually cleaned the filters a few weeks ago and made a few slight modifactions.
I hope to update with a new video soon.
I don’t plan on cleaning the filter much anymore, i expect it to be self sufficient and break down everything by itself. I only clened it because of all the dirt I’d knocked in last year building the pond!
This year it’s all biologically balanced, I don’t expect it to get dirty at all.
how long does it take for the water to go dirty and murkey after you clean it ?
How do you maintain a pond when its winter?? Do you take the fish out?? Wouldnt the water like be frozen?
Not yet, been a long winter and I hope to do a bit more with it when it warms up.
is there an update video? hope to see it retouched kinda rough good luck
it would work but its a little too small and you probably have to clean it out often mabe every 3-5 days or something depending how much fish you have, because they poop a lot during the summer.
I have one station of my sprinkler system that puts a bit of water in every day or so. It’s winter now, so the level doesn’t drop with the snow and cold.
With the pump being in the smaller body of water (behind the skimmer) have you noticed any problems when the level in the pond drops and prevents water from reaching the pump? If so, you could install an auto top up system to ensure that the water retains its level. Also, If you put in a slide valve on the lowest rigid pipe after the split you could regulate the flow precisely. Coming along well.
