    Hello all,

    Pic attached.

    That looks fantastic! Love the incorporation of the seating / bar area with the pond. I don't think I'd ever go back in the house!

    I think that's the best bet. You really need a concrete base (with bottom drain concreted into this) and then blockwork around all four edges. There are obviously lots of other considerations to...

  7. Most water-efficient filtration system...?

    Hello all - it's been a loooong time since I posted on here :)

    The forum has been a God-send when I built my current pond and whenever I've had little challenges along the way.

    Anyway - here's...

    I'd definitely second the above. Let's not beat around the bush(!) - even the new pond you've ordered is FAR too small for the fish you currently have, let alone moving up to 15. To give you some...

    Hello mate,

    I moved to a Nexus 210 earlier this year from a multi-bay setup (for similar reasons - sick of the weekly two hour ritual involving mucky brushes etc.!) I've been happy with my choice...

    I must admit, I'm not too hot on measuring flow rates with any degree of accuracy. As mentioned above, I think if anything - the grid over the inlet, if/when clogged with blanket weed - affects...

    I tend to run a cleaning cycle approx. twice per week at the moment - that seems to do the trick. I hose off the Eazy insert - both jap-mat and filter wool bits when I run the cleaning cycle. I've...

    Nexus 210 - A few improvements...

    As some of you may know, I swapped out the old multi-bay for a Nexus 210 a couple of months back. I also did a bit of scouting around the internet and some head-scratching to think of...

    This poor chap is on the bottom of the pond, looking slightly bent, not eating and generally not interested in anything or the other fish. I think he's been like this for a while to be...
