*** UPDATE***
ok guys here are some more pics of us after we carried the fish to the pool, remember the water is from the trip, we took out enough to put in the pool so we moved the fish from there water to there water, then we kept adding fresh dechlored water till it was full
#1 tracy vacuming the floor from all the water
#2 starting to fill the pool with water, all the cats are in the pool now

I was looking at this with my 5 year old son and he wants to know when we can put fish in his pool. We have a 15 ft one that looks the same. If only it would fit in the garage.

great work

thanks, were battling the water parameters right now, the new filters are doing a good job, but i like my water buffered and i cant get it that way untill the filters cycle to the amount of fish that are in the pool, but we built a huge filter today using large walmart tubs and filled the bottom one up with 20 gallons of used bio balls, and the second tub we stacked on top of it, we had drilled 50 or so holes in it, and filled it with fiber floss and made a spreader bar on top of it, we drilled a 1-14 hole in the top and inserted the hose from a mag 18.6 pump, it pushes 2000 gallons per hour,
then we drilled 5 1" holes in the bottom of the bottom tub and turned it on, it cleaned up the water alot faster than the first filter we built and it had a much higher flow rate, thanks to doubledragon (he lent me the pump that we are using at the moment) so anyway, after checking and doublechecking and doing 800 gallon water changes, i think we have the filter system that will work for a while the nitrates are now showing up so i know the bacteria are doing there jobs and turning the amonia into nitrites and the nitrites into nitrates, also there are 3 other smaller filters at work too, here is a picture of the filter, i know it is ugly, but it does the job, so we can calm down around here and get caught up on real life for a minute
