I just set one of these up a few weeks ago, except I used an in pond fountain filter
If you take the pipe returning the water to the pond all the way down to the level of water in the pond, then add a 90 degree piece the water will stop making all of that noise and disturb/ oxygenate the entire pond surface. what you are doing right now is like running a HOB in an aquarium with the water level in the tank about half way.
Would a smaller design work for a 75 gal turtle pond?
You should put some sponges or filter floss in the basket
I actually put running sponge filters in the tub but your suggestion is better. Great idea! Thank you. 🙏
hmm I don't think all of your K-1 are moving, looks like only the part where the water intake is moving that small section 3:00 while the other 90% are just....hanging out. Usually with that massive amount of K-1, you'll need some type of air stone to move all of the K-1, like that example clip at 2:55
Hello! It isn’t necessary to manually move all of the K-1 in the beginning. As it cycles the density will change due to bacteria colonization and it fluidizes. Check my latest video where the K-1 is cycled already!
Very practical and great.
Thank you!
