Very impressive, what is your water volume and filtration setup?

Thanks Paul,

The pond holds 70000L including filtration.
Two large vortices are fed from two bottom drains.
Then goes to 2 x sand filters and 2 x 50L bio boosters.
Then over 3 tier Bakki shower. 2m long and 40cm wide and 30cm deep
with loolitubes as media - 40 10 litre bags.
Also one skimmer with sand filter.
Will take some pics for you tonight
.

Jou water is kristalhelder, so jou filter werk duidelik baie goed om solids uit te haal. Die vis lyk in 'n puik toestand, so jou biofiltrasie werk ook duidelik baie goed. Jy kan trots wees op jou setup en visse.

Ek sien jy het klaar die tafel tennis nette op. Jy kan net 'n blad oorsit en lekker speel. lol!
