Moving day
The days come to move the fish into there temporary home while I build there new pond. i Stopped feeding them this week, moved the multibay filter and set electrics up. Got an airstone going in the pool. How much should I be feeding once there in there temp home?

Just feed them a couple of small feeds a day to start and if the water parameters ok up it.
i would also cover over some of the pool to give them some shade.
i had mine half covered when I was doing mine.

Keep a close eye on your parameters whilst they are in there, I have lost a few fish in the past whilst they were in temporary accommodation, they are a lot harder to look after in such a small volume of water.

Starting to rip old liner up and remove boulders/rocks. Some big tree roots have grown round old pond which was probably causing the leak.

Keep a close eye on your ammonia levels in a small pool like that mate.
I've got mine in a 1000G intex pool at the moment and I'm struggling to keep my levels down with 6 decent size fish.
Good luck with the build.

your lucky the temps fallen away,
is it the angle, or is the air stone close to the pump? don't want to get airlocks or cavitation, if possible shoot it over, the fish will shift it and you gain some wiggle roomthe slow pond build thread

Looking good and you even remembered to keep the lids of the waterproof sockets closed for the photos
As for the fish moving things around I am sure mine are moving the 200mm air disc in my pond as it's never in the same place 2 days running LOL and my fish don't look as big as yours although the small temporary pond could be making yours look bigger
Good luck with the build.

Not much progress happening with this weather but almost dug the trench out for the concrete base for sleepers. Not a bad dig but the trench at the back was hard as there were so many roots.
