Got my new enclosure finished
Got my PVC pipe framed and aquatic netting enclosure all finished and
installed. My Koi and goldfish don't know how to act...........before they had about 18" depth of water now they have more than 4 times the area and water thats up to 42" deep to roam in. I plumbed my fountain head and water tap offs out of the pvc pipe frame used to enclose the fish in my big pond in with netting. I use a HF 1" clearwater pump for aereation only, no filtering needed inthis pond as its a natural pond thats just divided off to seperate the bass and bream from thekoi and goldfish. I ran a water tap off one end of the pipe frame to feed a cascading 3 pool water fall, and another to feed a small preformed pool that spills out into a stream that eventually goes over a rock water fall into the ponds lagoon area. By utilizing the PVC pipe frame for the enclosure as a manifold for the water as well as support for the netting, it keeps my pipes to the various items to a minimum, and the pond bottom free of any pipes as well. I added a number of T's on the top rail of the frame but have them all capped but one, but it leaves me open for adding more sprinklers or fountain heads etc if I decide to later on. Frame perimeter is made of 1 1/2" PVC and the vertical supports are 1 1/4" PVC all schedule 40. Will get some images up as soon as I can.
