Looking good TT, i spent ages researching filtration and really wanted a bottom drain but seems costly and loads of work. So i was lazy and went for the bottom pump option.

Good thing is its next to my garage so the filter is in there, bad point more sh!te in my way in there :(

What fish you got in there? local place to me does different koi, 2-3" 5 for Ģ22, im going to make a start with them and see how i get on!

I remember when this used to be a car building forum, now it's all fish ponds and cheap kitchens :D

Thought I'd share too! The pond's only 2 months old, use to be a flower bed but nothing grew due to the overhanging bush!

If I wasn't building a Roadster, then it would probably be either a Sylva Riot, or a GKD Legend. If I had unlimited money, a GT40 replica.

If it had to be a production car, a bonkers Mini :D

No fish ponds here - takes up valuable garage floor space :D

Nice conversion job, just keep any falling junk out of the pond.


@Will...

Mix of Orf, Common Goldfish, Ghost Carp, Grass Carp, Tench, ... Nothing too exotic.

I had a this guy from ~2" until he died sudenly last summer. The photo was taken 3 years earlier so he had grown a fair bit since..



2010 we had fry in the pond and about 6-7 of them survived which is nice...

Yeah I plan on netting in the winter. What's that a ghost carp?

Overhanging bush is never a good thing :D


I would be building a Stratos rep if I had the mula or resurrecting a Viva.

Yeah Ghost Carp, I lost about 13 fish in a year ( once big loss due to somone unplugging the circulation system and 02 dropping rapidly in the pond. The Ghostie survived that incident.

I have one small fish at the moment who's in a hospital tank as he has bad damage to both flanks. Hopefully he will pull through. He seems happy enough despite the damage.
