Of course I do wash the DIY filter media once a week or once in 2 weeks.

Sorry no. But since fishes eating well and active, i assume should be within good range. In fact, 2 days ago after the heavy rain, they were breeding and i found eggs in my filter.

Very nice setup. 👍
I wish I have space for an outdoor pond like yours.
Most importantly, the fish are active and healthy.

Did you do a nitrate test?
I too have money plants which grew like a "jungle" now. But nitrate is still above 60ppm after weekly 100% water change regime.

My 4ft, 60G understock tank with "Jungle of Money Plant", yet nitrate is still high if not for my weekly 100% water change.

So Brother with plants less than mine, doubt the plants will do much to lower your nitrate.
