Patio Eco Fish Pond Design Details That Will Make or Break the Deal

The so-called ecological fish pond is based on the principle of natural ecological balance, from a professional and technical point of view to create a natural environment with ornamental fish, algae, microorganisms, higher aquatic plants, benthic animals grow together in harmony with the natural environment of fish ponds, including high-grade villa fish ponds, parks and neighborhoods of the landscape fish ponds, as well as self-built fish ponds.

There are three main construction features of an ecological fish pond:

I. The main part of the fish pond of the ecological fish pond

Depending on the needs of the field, round, semi-circular, oval and other curved angle shaped designs are usually used so that the pool water will not create dead ends in the flow cycle. A funnel-shaped design will also be used at the bottom of the pond to make it easier to collect fish waste and bait from the pond to the drainage holes.

Second, the ecological fish pond filtration system part

After the water in the fish pond has been treated by the filtration system, some toxic substances such as ammonia and nitrite are converted into non-toxic nitrate. Although nitrate is not toxic, it is easy to accumulate, and koi will reduce their immunity if they live in such water for a long time, so the ecological fish pond has increased the part of the botanical waterway, and the nitrate is absorbed into the water by the well-developed root system of aquatic plants on the botanical waterway to reduce fish disease by utilizing the well-developed root system of plants. to reduce the occurrence of fish diseases.

III. Stocking of fish

In addition to ornamental fish in the ecological fish pond, some benthic pipefish, shrimp, etc., to facilitate the scavenging characteristics of these fish, decomposition of some residual bait, reduce the burden on the filtration system.

Ecological fish pond filtration system generally consists of sedimentation silo, physical filtration silo biochemical filtration silo, sewage silo and clean water silo, plant waterways, fish pond filtration system part of the total area of the fish pond generally accounted for 20% or more.

1. The main part of the fish pond is connected to the sedimentation bin of the filtration pool through the bottom discharge pipe, then to the physical filtration and biochemical filtration part through the water-turning plate, and finally to the clear water bin, and then pumped to the botanical watercourse, and then flowed back to the main pool after adsorption by the higher aquatic plants.

2, in the physical filtration part, mainly placed in the vine cotton, brush and other things, adsorption of some from the sedimentation bin with the water flow into the physical bin of organic matter.

3, in the biochemical filtration part, mainly placed in the biochemical ball, bacteria, ceramic ring, etc., the purpose is to provide a good ecological environment for nitrifying bacteria, for its growth and reproduction.

4, in planted waterways, usually planting some water-supporting plants and placing oyster shells, volcanic rocks and other substances, the use of the slow release of these minerals to improve the hardness of the water and replenish some of the water's trace elements.

Villa courtyard fish pond design contains a lot of peripheral auxiliary vignettes, pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, mountains, bridges, flowers, rocks, grass, etc., the reasonable use of these materials can not only create a pleasing landscape can also fully utilize the functionality of the courtyard. On the contrary, a lot of courtyard failures lead to owners can only re-planning. The following follow Ollies editorial to analyze the important factors in the design of the courtyard fish pond.

I. Orientation of the fishpond

Generally according to the direction of the courtyard to analyze the location of the fish pond to welcome the light to avoid shade as the primary factor, fish pond if not sunrise, then aquatic plants are difficult to grow, if it is an ornamental fish, fish colors do not see the sun to feed more color Yang material is also useful, especially red and yellow have a great impact, and secondly, the fish pond would have been large moisture, the shade will make the surroundings more humid environment.

II. Combination of fishpond and bridge

In the area of a slightly larger or longer courtyard, the owners will consider the construction of the fish pond when building the bridge factor, in the humanities and nature generally want to build the bridge in the narrowest part of the creek or river, one does not affect the ornamental surface of the large waters and the other is more close to the humanities.

III. Combination of fishponds and pavilions and platforms

The hydrophilic platform is a part of the connection between people and water, fish, a good hydrophilic platform can make the relationship between fish and people closer. However, in the whole design, the platform can not be too large, and the overhanging area is not or small, because fish are timid by nature, the area below the platform is too large so that the fish in addition to eating are hiding under the platform to affect the ornamental.

IV. Depth of the fishpond

Courtyard fish ponds are generally most of the koi ponds, too shallow fish growth, and winter in the north is not good, too deep, then security is not good, the previous section of the news there is a nanny fell into the koi pond drowning. Normal reasonable depth of 70-150CM is appropriate. Neither affect the winter nor affect the growth and safety.

V. Fish pond filtration system

Seen a lot of fish pond without a proper filtration system, the final result is the following, the fish pond dry, dirty water a pool, fill in without. A brief introduction to the classification of fish tank filters, plastic fish tank filters (internal filter cotton based), stainless steel fish tank filters (suspension cartridge, nano-filter cartridge based), sand tank filtration (the filter material is generally quartz sand, mainly used for fish tanks), here recommended SIP filters and Fubon filters are a good choice.

VI. Combination of rockeries and fishponds

Wigwam and fish pond since ancient times is an inseparable part of the "mountain in the water, water in the mountain" is the epitome of nature. Of course, the mountain and water with a good match can reflect the harmony of the landscape. General rockery accounted for the proportion of the fish pond about three parts of the area, the fish pond is too small mountain feel too fake, and vice versa, the fish pond feels like a small puddle.

VII. Integration of courtyards and fishponds

General courtyard style has Chinese, European and American, rustic, Mediterranean and other styles, according to the size and style of the courtyard, because the fishpond is generally the main landscape of the courtyard generally accounts for about one-half of the courtyard area, if it is the European and American style or modern style, the fishpond can be inlaid inside the mosaic or ceramic tile, etc., if it is the rustic style with real stone decoration, so that the fishpond and courtyard landscape can be the perfect combination of the sense of dissonance.

VIII . Plumbing in Fishpond Design

Fish pond design in and out of the water, drainage is undoubtedly the most critical part, must not be careless, into the water is generally subject to the constraints of the water can not be debugged, but if you can try to adjust as much as possible, a dozens of tons of pools, if you put a minimum of dozens of hours with tap water. Drainage if you can connect to the sewer is the best. Overflow remember to stay oh, this does not stay in a courtyard may not be water.

In conclusion: a superbly designed fish pond not only looks beautiful and stunning to use up also saves effort, I hope the above introduction can give like koi as well as want to build a koi fish pond you bring some help.
