Arowana Tank / Pond Build

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
looks good! good luck on the water leak issue. my friends pond that we build leeched stuff out for 6 months. hopefully yours will be cleaned out faster. when i get my monster pond up and going i'll be swimming with my fishes, looks like you got enough room to do the same.
 
Yet another awesome thread/job I've missed.

hey scott.. i'm hoping for the same.. prob will take a couple more fill and drain.. i read on a pond construction site i could use diluted vinegar and brush it on the walls to get the stuff out quicker.. might try it post this fill and drain.. :)
 
Hey guys.. been sometime.. the water didn't go down post a point.. jus somewhere between the top skimmer tube.. the water was in there for like a week.. managed to get a .5 hp pump and used the water for the entire garden.. cleaned up the entire pond surface et all on saturday.. today we did a wash with diluted vinegar.. going to fill the pond again a little higher than the usual level tomorrow and observe for a week.. :) cheers..
 
Managed a second refill last evening.. the water level didn't drop as much as last time.. like less than an inch.. and no more powdery gritty stuff floating around.. will give it a week.. if the water still remains clear, will throw in a few guppies and check. Put up a video, but its really nothin.. just pumping the water into the tank :)
