THE BEST FILTRATION FOR KOI POND

[@orandaadnaro]

A remarkably elegant solution to providing water of quality to many fish. I love it!

[@chu0435]

Thank you

Hi guys!!! This is the best filtration for koi pond, it has all the bells and whistles of an expensive koi pond such as: sieve filter, large mechanical and biological filter, pond skimmer, UV light, aquaponics system, venturi free Oxygen. All of these features are DIY and budget friendly for all y'all creative people out there.

AAAAmazing I love your set up you did such a great job, layout and everything Thank you for sharing, you definitely gave me some good ideas!!!!

[@chu0435]

Thanks!! Definitely let me know what you come up with, I am always down to learn something new

[@mickeycao148]

You have established a very very nice & clean system...

[@chu0435]

Thank you

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Wetlands is the best. Less complicated too

[@chu0435]

Hi Greg! Big fan of your channel! I love all your pond builds, they are really thoughtful and beautiful. You are correct wetlands are the best that aside my designs are leaning towards all the DIY'er and cost cautious people :-)

Very cool! I wish I had the space and climate to do this. I know it would be a lot of work, but I think you can improve on the bottle caps like by drilling holes or cutting slots in them. It would allow for more flow and surface area. Of course, you do have double or more of what you might need already, but it is still worth considering.

[@chu0435]

I thought about drilling holes on the caps back then but it would be too much work hahaha

[@onealgreen7089]

Great job! I borrowed your venturi trick for my biofilter stock tank (waterfall). Unfortunately water just pours out of the pipe.(4800psi pump) So attached a 2' extension to it. No luck not bringing in air. I'll try cleaning the media in the stock tank. Any suggestions?

[@chu0435]

You have to reduce your pipe size that goes into the 2" T so the force will be stronger so I can suck the air in

[@darnellfisher4148]

I'd love to see this set-up step by step. I don't have my filtration system set up yet but I have 2 55 gallon tanks that I plan to use with a 300 gallon stock tank. Awesome job you have done though.

[@chu0435]

Thank you! I don't have a video of a step by step build. But a 2 55 gallon and a 300 gallon tank should be plenty for your build depending on how big is your pond and stock capacity. For your scenario I would use 2 pumps: run the skimmer to one of the 55 gallon and run the bottom pump to the other 55 gallon then both tanks will run to the 300 gallon tank then will refund back to the pond. Good luck

Cannot argue with your results!! Cheers! 🍻 9:29 what is the screen for the sludge remover, just before your Aquaponics.. I need to buy some for my algae particles. Thx!!

[@bubblerings]

SUBBED! and went to your Sieve Filter video.. 🎈👍🍻 Where do you by the screen. And what is it called? Thx!

[@chu0435]

The screen is "stainless steel mesh" 100 to 300 micron, will cost you around $20

[@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh]

Are you using a bell siphon on your aquaponics beds or are you just using a constant height and overflow for your water? Also, what type of rocks are you using? ive done the vinegar tests on bagged pea gravel from big box stores in the dfw area and it showed me that those rocks were not suitable for use in aquaponics. Now, that being said, im finding out very quickly that a lot of what is said online about aquaponics is not true. My setup runs at 5.8-6.0 ph and those numbers would drive the aquaponics masters nuts!🤣

[@chu0435]

For this system I am using a constant height and overflow because this system acts as a filtration for the pond. The aquaponics system in my greenhouse I used a timer 15 minutes on and 15 off so it drained the whole bed until the pump is on again. I used river rock as my media but pea gravel and river rock should be fine as long you thoroughly wash them before use. I don't really care about the PH in fact I don't even have a tester kit for it. I believe eventually mother nature will set the PH to whatever is best for your system just like the wild lol, the goal is to keep it simple and mother nature will do the rest.

[@haivo9399]

Thank you anh trai!!

[@uncleaaron5435]

Does the pool skimmer use a submersible pump to pull in water from the bottom?

[@chu0435]

Yes, the pool skimmer used its own submersible pump that pulls the water from the top water

[@uncleaaron5435]

@@chu0435 can you link us to some examples online where we can buy one?

[@chu0435]

I found it at Walmart website www.walmart.com/ip/p-Aladdin-750-No-Niche-In-Ground-Skimmer-White-p/1816459622?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=2739&&adid=222222222281816459622_2739_147332398765_18594900846&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=658098641174&wl4=pla-2023679053153&wl5=9026243&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=113139701&wl11=online&wl12=1816459622_2739&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjw-IWkBhBTEiwA2exyO0i4lOBrNKjCDKCJppyTQH-Yhe99x5y5faulsK6rMM9yK0AbcMuN0BoCHzAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

WHERE R U LOCATED? NEAR LAS VEGAS NV? LIKE THE FILTERS

[@chu0435]

No not even close, I am in Oklahoma :-)

[@nhiakhang2622]

Hey brother, where can I score a load of caps like you have there for your filter? I know you mentioned it in your video, but I could not make out your wording. Please help. Thanks!

[@bubblerings]

Have your neighbors or friends save their bottle caps for you.. Instead of throwing them away or recycling.

[@chu0435]

I work in a pharmacy, so my technician saved those caps for me

[@thisisger]

what size mesh or microns is the sieve sheet

[@chu0435]

It was 300 micron 24"x24"

[@hhlang3453]

Where did you buy the mesh netting? 9:48

[@chu0435]

I bought the mesh from eBay, it was stainless steel 300 micron mesh
