    I think the picture was on Feline thread.
    It was a three inch pipe on her double baking shower but I could be wrong.

    There you go Scorchio,dont know what happened to the pictures though.
    Depends what size pump you are using,I have changed mine again to a 2ins on a 18000 pump there are some pics on here when I did my garage extension.
    What ever pipe you use if you have a tiny hole on the top of the pipe furthest from the inlet it let's you know if there is any pressure in there as you dont need that.So if no water comes out the hole your ok.
    Have you some pics of Adam's shower where the inlet goes.

    Have to source a deeper tray as I'm building the filter pit into a shed the blade is to short.

    Need to extend it around 200 mm.

    Extension started.

    Blocks laid ready for wooden frame and cladding.

    Doors and back walls of existing filter area are being removed to allow better access.

    Photos of area

    Covers on back of pond to try to keep concrete dust out.

    Nice. love sliver ghosties. I used to have two. Going to have to get a couple more after seeing your ghostie. They have character.
    Good luck with exstention.

    I will. Lol
    I have to keep the back part as low as possible due to location near break in side wall. I can get away with 1.8m
    The pond side I will build just above the shower.
    Weather outlook not to good forecast rain all week

    Lovely fish there, did you buy them that size, or have you grown them on over the years in another pond, the ghostie is stunning cracking fish.
