Sorry for the lack of updates. Recently decided to get rid of the gravity filtration (settler and bucket filter) and just pump straight into the bog barrel. Have had much better results after doing that. I also don't have to refill as much or worry about overflow draining the pond (nearly...

I'm not sure I need more turn over. I think what I might need is more physical filtration. From what I understand the key to bog filters is slow water flow. I might add another barrel bog. Edit: Also I eventually am going to add some sort of aqua grow bed along the fence before the bog barrel...

Pond update: Added the bucket filter before the bog filter, I intend to paint it or get a different bucket though since light passes through this orange one. (No, I still haven't put the top boards on my fence, been too rainy to get out the table saw) Please excuse the mess in advance. Here...

So I ordered an additional battery, as well as a new pump and an inverter. Now using two 12v 100Ah batteries as my battery bank, wired up in parallel to double the amps, or 1920 watt hours of power factoring 80% DoD. The new pump draws 57W, which should give 33 hours of pump runtime without any...

So in light of my third (fourth? I've lost count!) pump burning out. I've accepted that these bilge pumps aren't the thing that I am looking for. I believe I might just invest into a pure sine wave inverter and go the 110/120v route. The pump I am looking at is this...

I haven't installed any hoses yet, I want to make/find an attachment that sockets in or freely spins, so that I do not have to wind an entire hose everytime I want to attach it. Sort of like attaching irrigation water/wheel lines for farming but on a smaller scale. Curerntly I just drain out...

Kaldnes is also referred to as K1 media right? That was something I had considered early on before learning about the bog in a barrel setup, and you're right about the price, that was what drove me off of it. What is the noise level like with one of those pumps, 12v 5Amp would run about 13...

Yep, it's something I want to venture into. My plan is to have a couple beds along the fence you can see there, which still needs to have it's topboards cut and put on, and then feed back into the bio filter. But something I need to do before that also is put together a fine solids filter after...

I lied, it's another duck pond post. I have nine ducks (Six mallards, three pekins) and I'm always looking for ways to better my pond functionality. I've been running my current pond for about four months now, and ducks for about eight months. Before the pond I tried out the kiddy pool approach...
