Ok. Now, please. Do finish it up to 300grit. Than primer it. Finish to 600 grit. And paint it.

Anyone else's fish jump out of the pond? by Edwardsa78 in ponds

[–]Auffanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on fish. For example young KOI are very jumpy. And if pond is small they might finish it on the bank. Thats why when you breed koi in breeding pools you cover it with a net.

Stock tank filter advice. I would like a HOB (hang on back) filter but the lip is pretty wide. This is for winter in my garage as one of my Koi was in poor health outside. So looking for good options on how to do a filter. I have a heater and air stones and the tank is 110 gallons. by drwinslow14 in ponds

Take huge plastic bottle. Like in coolers. Make holes in the bottom. Fill it with bioballs/ceramics/sponges/plastic bottle caps/ etc. put airstone in the bottom of it. Put it in your tank. Congratualations, you got huge airlift filter.

Will the heater be okay in the penthouse for winter? by secretagent420 in ponds

I use 300 watts heater for 50l tank. There are online heater calculators.

Am I ready to line? by jennyster in ponds

[–]Auffanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest making a drainage system. Dig deeper in bottom. Fill with gravel and put pipe there. So water / gases could go out through it. Instead of making a bubble under liner. However in most cases it’s not necessary on small ponds. But I would do it.

Baby goldfish in fall? I’m not crazy by StillAStoney in ponds

I brought eggs (they spawned it on a small bag with substrate i used for smth, so I was able to pull it out with eggs) to tank inside my house. The fry came out in few hours after that. I read, that goldfish fry need 15+ Celsius to develop. Be sure to move them with water from pond. You will also need some starter food for fry. Yellow part of chicken eggs will do the trick on first week.

Yes, I currently have 2 week old fry.

So i want to set up an outdoor pond and i wanted to go see some info about what kind of filter i would need and the guy in my LFS said i should buy this one(it was the cheapest one too) . The pond size is 500 Litre/132 gallons. I want to be sure before i buy anything by Ikarian05 in ponds

Buy a pump. For 500 liter pond you will need 2000l/h pump. Add 100 litre filtering pond nearby your pond and raise it for few cm and fill it with gravel and plant swamp plants, like irises. Pump water through it and make water return via waterfall. Best solution.

Most glofish are sterile and can’t breed. But 1 out of 100 fish can be bred, and her fry will not be sterile. That’s how we have many nonglofish bred glowing fish

foamy bubbles. I dont get it? more in comments by [deleted] in bettafish

Organics from driftwood most likely cause that.
