Bro Majinn, glad to know that you enjoy reading... Happy fish keeping. The shelter is going to be ready this week. Hopefully they can install the glass tomorrow or latest by Friday I DIY a polycarbonate panels to act as a fence. With that, I can remove all my current netting. I am so excited to see my DIY project works Will post pic some pics tomorrow... |

What air pump is that? I leave my HiBlow 80 out in the open. My original HiBlow 40 ran for over 5 years on my old pond under similar circumstances.

The glass are here. By tomorrow the shelter should be ok
My DIY panel to block the fish from jumping out. I design in such a way that the front can be opened if I want to go into the pond to do 'area cleaning' and the side at the staitcase can also be opened if I want to maintain my filter system. The best part is if I dont like the panels, I just detach them and put them back whenever I like I am still using the net to temporary cover as I damn scare people will throw down fishing line as what some bros said |

Hi bro,
Is the panel free standing on the tank? The height of the panel is not high enough imo. Look can the photos from aro farm harvesting and you can see the height of the net they use. |

Really a dream come true.
For those condo ground floor units that come with private pools... Can convert the pool to pond? |

Be prepared to rip out and replace the pumps and filtration system though. Pool systems tend to be high head and medium flow. Pond systems are generally low head and high flow. Using pool pumps in a pond setting is usually a big waste of power. You will also need to check how your bottom drains are laid out. Some things may need to be augmented to allow for proper waste clearance. |
