So many carp enthusiasts have also built filtration ponds and envisioned them quite well in the early stages, only to find numerous problems when the ponds are built. Some dirt can't get out, some filtration is not strong enough, some can't keep up with the flow, and some leak. In order to make your koi live more comfortably and make it more comfortable and convenient for you to keep them, today we will talk about the specific process of circulating filtration pond construction and some of the details.
First of all, it is the site selection. As we all know, mountain hosts people and water hosts wealth. A good location will not only make your fish pond look more harmonized with the building, but also gather wealth. Of course, this needs to find a more professional person to choose the right location for you, do not because of a momentary entanglement, resulting in future regrets.
After choosing a good location, you have to design the size and shape of the pond according to the actual situation, the size depends on the actual terrain and the size and number of Koi you need, it is recommended to be larger, so that you don't want to raise large Koi in the future but because of the size of the pond is limited. The shape of the pond will depend on your personal preference and aesthetics.Try not to design a wigwam or any other landscaping in the fish pond, as this is not good for koi keeping. The depth of the fish pond is guaranteed to be more than one meter, which can effectively prevent the koi's abdomen from abrasion.
Designing the fish pond to consider the ratio of the filter bin to the fish pond, theThe general capacity of the filtration bin should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the total water body, the moreIt is good to design it in a corner of the fish pond or a better hidden position, and also consider the future cleanup and other issues. General filtration warehouse using high and low wall design, divided into four bins, including two ground wall, hanging wall one. The ground wall is 20 centimeters lower than the edge of the pool, and the hanging wall is 20 centimeters from the bottom of the pool.
Having designed the size and shape of the fish pond, you can then calculate the materials needed.
The materials needed in the preliminary stage of building a fish pond are: concrete (for laying a bedding layer), reinforcing bars (choose the right ones according to the size of the fish pond), red bricks (hard ones, that is, the ones that are burned with a high fire), cement (with a high grade), sand, cement glue, PVC drainage pipe and supporting fittings, PE inlet pipe and supporting fittings, double-core electrical wires, tiles (optional), etc.
Buy a good material can be started, if the drainage system allows, filtration pool is recommended to be able to make a semi-subterranean, that is, the depth of the ground accounted for the entire depth of the pool of 2 / 3 to 3 / 4, so as to maintain the stability of the temperature of the pool water, but also to prevent the foreign matter scraped into the fish pool.
Excavate the fish pond according to the design depth, it should be noted that the depth of undercutting should be 25-30 centimeters more than the designed depth of the fish pond, because the bedding should be played under the fish pond. After digging, first level the ground and tamp it, then dig a drainage pipe ditch from the center of the fish pond to the center of the sedimentation bin, dig a drainage pipe ditch from the center of the clear water bin to the center of the sedimentation bin (filtering bin drainage), and then dig another drainage pipe ditch from the center of the sedimentation bin to the drainage well (or drainage ditch, etc.) (main drainage). Filter bin drainage and the main drainage should be maintained in a straight line, so that the drainage is smooth. Lower the pipe and bury it, taking care to keep the mouth of the filtration bin pipe slightly lower than the mouth of the pipe in the center of the pool.
Some of you may ask why the pipes are buried underground instead of being driven into the bedding, wouldn't that be better protection for the pipes?
Here more to consider the strength of the bedding, it is not recommended to hit in the bedding, that invariably reduces the thickness of the bedding.
