    Let's hope the forecast keeps moving on like it has for the few days and you'll get a dry but very warm week

    Whilst I have the fibreglassing starting today & before I start the drainage & concrete floor to the filter house, Now my brain is thinking about trying to build in spare Valves for purge pipes & bypass valves. From the drum combi to spare junctions for possible air source heating & loops out to the anoxic & aquaponics systems. Skimmer line to sieve to k1 re-used vortex to UV to bakki shower &/ Or low level returns(already built into pond) ,what size AR pumps to buy .....where to start ....

    also those of you that like me also keep non Koi, I have tench,grass carp,Orfe, would you recommend I keep these all in the 1000gallon pond when moving some of the others into the 3200gallon pond later in the year? Thinking about ease of treatment to the pond in future.

    I to have grass carp orfs tench Rudd mixed in the pond.
    And the way it has been this last couple of years with treatments. Nightmare with them in the pond. And there hard to net in six feet of water.
    So yes in my opinion seperate them if you can.
    Wish I could.

    After 2 years of little or no treatment to the pond only new fry added, I am dreading the couple of years of hard work to the new pond while everything matures
