    I did this design but instead put two 2 inch outakes to increase the flow with a 5,600 gph pump. I also added many different types of filtration that differ from yours. This filter setup has kept my 3,000 gallon pond spotless. I have a heavy fish load as well. If anyone is looking at this video for inspiration build it!

    I built 2 like this for my outdoor 200 gallon Koi pond, and my 110 gallon turtle tank. I used two 25 gallon drums. Instead of burying it with all that foam, I put all my filter media in a 5 gallon bucket filled 3/4 of the way. I drilled holes on the bottom. Now, I just pull out the 5 gallon bucket out for much easier cleaning. I placed 3 sets of 1 gallon buckets filled with lava rocks under the 5 gallon bucket. I put my pump on the bottom because it tends to leak. I just added the clean out valve like you show, and also put the overflow T fitting. Thank you for the tip.

    Made a rookie mistake with filter on a new pond Knowhere near good enough and built this in a rush to try and fix it. When I installed it I had bad ammonia, phosphate and water I couldn’t see an inch into. Made this filter with some alpha frog in the bottom and writhing 24 hours the ammonia was gone, by the end of the week water was absolutely crystal. Been running two months now and everything is perfect. Was only supposed to be a stop gap till I got a new filter but I’m honestly scared to change it now. Only thing I’d say is it’s a bit of a chore to clean out but well worth putting up with. Thanks lee

  • @bryanmeza9974
    @bryanmeza9974 4 года назад +3

    If you reverse your Inlet and Outlet on that exact setup your filter will work much better. Because water will always take the route of least resistance once your pads start to get a little dirty the water will then start to go straight to your overflow. But if you're in that forces the water to the bottom of the filter which would then Force the water up through the pads this one this will make sure that you always have a much cleaner system

    • @leecalladine
      @leecalladine  4 года назад +1

      I completely disagree. If you bring the water in at the bottom the muck will be impossible to clean without draining out the filter and lifting all the media out. In at top, stop the dirt with a fine filter that is easy to access, then let the bacteria thirve in the bottom.

    • @leecalladine
      @leecalladine  4 года назад

      I do accept the water will go over the overflow, that's essential to prevent the filter overflowing. When this starts to happen the sponges must be cleaned.

    Here in Sunny Florida. I've got a giant sandy hole in the ground and I want to drop in a 300 gallon tank. I'd like to build a pond and keep it clear enough with only solar, no batteries and minimal maintenance (at most once a month). Possible?

    Would it matter if you had the inlet attached to the pipe that went to the bottom and so the water would rise throught the filtration body

    Like the idea of this. I’m already looking at making a diy Bakki shower to supplement a main filter which was going to be an easy pod but wondered if this would work instead? What size pond would this work for with a shower filter? Could it be adapted for gravity fed?

    • @leecalladine

      This design is not suitable gravity fed. It would need complete redesign. It is a good filter for people who like making things and it has worked well for many people.

    Hi Lee thank you so much for this video, I hope all is well with you. I will definitely copy it for my pond, one question though, from the barrel the pipe that goes out to the pond can I connect that to a small skimmer to make some kind of waterfall effect down to the pond? Thank you so much

    • @leecalladine
      @leecalladine  3 года назад

      Yes that probably work. To a waterfall.

      It sounds like it's syphoning out then stopping. Syphoning out then stopping. I don't think it's necessary a problem.

    Great video with helpful information! I have a pond which holds about 3100 liters. Will this size filter be adequate enough to keep the water clean and from getting green? Thanks!

    Hi where did you get the filter mat off cuts from ?

      They used to be freely available when matting was popular. However nowadays a lot harder to find.

    Hey top video, just wondering I've seen people who have the water come in at the bottom then overflow out top,rather than come in at the top then get pulled to the bottom before returning to overflow at top. Is there any difference? cheers also I have to big of a pump can I just put another standpipe in and have two outlets thank you 😊

    • @leecalladine
      @leecalladine  2 года назад +1

      The method described in the video allows you run the fine filter and access it easier. The pump size with 2in outlet should not exceed aprx 1000 gallons per hour. A lot less if using 1.5in pipes.

  • @willhoyle752

    How many gallons should this filter be for? I have a 1300 gallon pond.

    • @leecalladine
      @leecalladine  Год назад

      It would do a good job on a pond that's size provided the stocking density wasn't too heavy.

    What is difference between filtration pump and circulation pump system?
    Suppose I want to build a natural koi fish pond in my backyard so how many pumps and systems I need?
