  • the green of the sides? let your fishes clean those up... fishes are vegetarians you know? they will clean those up in no time.. try not feeding them for a day or two.. ;)

  • It wasnt a grand to set up, the Tetra Choice filter was 100.00 and the microlift for beneficial bacteria is 34.00. You mention scrubbing? What are you scrubbing? The sides?

  • over here the branded one like tetra, eheim is costly. I prefer to do DIY ones..

    yeah, im only using kitchen scrubbing pads as my mech, chemical filtration media.

  • We had green water problems even with a filter and a UV until we switched to Tetra Choice system with water filtered through two two coarse filter pads (which I have to rinse every 3 or 4 days to keep it clean- every day for 4 days in the beginning!!!!) and the media balls in the bottom. Addewd Microblift to get it going. Then and only then was I able to walk out each morning and see the bottom (I have 22-24 inches and 36 in other)I now am loving my pond now! Go see my videos at karenmac2

  • my pond dont use all those stuff, im kinda on a budget & dont want to spend a grand. im using plain kitchen scrubbing pads, a plastic trash can.. some plumbing works.. wwalla.. Green free since feb-06.

  • Use Aquascape. Every other method blows.

  • i dont know but im no seroius koi/fish/pond keeper. i try to be not to overspent my budget. Aquascape is a company which take away the guess work of pond mintenance. did i mention, 2-years plus my pond is green-free, maintenance is just a few minutes draining + every week, 10-20% water replacement.

see all

  • You have a good setup to convert into a moving bed filter

  • Dang those two gourami's are HUGE.

  • @utubeKev1 i know. i just wanted to confirm what media he used. :-)

  • @chengaun (What media do you use??) I think highresvid has already made it clear that he is using cheap kitchen scrubbing pads (soft square sponge sandwiched to a layer of coarse plastic abrasive fibre) as the FILTER MEDIA and not for literally scrubbing the pond, as some people here seem to think.

  • can i make a filter for a pond 1/4 miles long?

  • What Media Do you use?? The Filter Seems Real Effective!!!

  • how do you clean the green off the sides??
