I just on tap and drip fill the pond. Water runs through a massive catalytic carbon filter so there is no need to dose AC.

The actual flow is dependent on mains pressure, so it varies a bit. It's basically a little dribble going into the waterfall, about 3/4 the thickness of a regular pencil.

My nitrate levels test pretty high unfortunately, so I am deliberating increasing this flow a bit more. Unfortunately my flow meter isn't sensitive enough to measure flow rate this low accurately. Waiting for a good deal before getting a unit so I know exactly how much water I am wasting a week.

if time permits, at least 70% wc daily.

Use seachem prime as water conditioner.

No or reduced feeding after the wc.

Yes, it's exhausting but it's also my commitment and obligation to my fish
