Hi!
I had bought a house and it came with a concrete pond in the back yard. How do i keep it clean? The comercial filters and UV things are a little bit outta my budget. I do have a submersible pond pump and also a sump pump which is also submersible. I have a few pictures of the pond and the dimensions. I wonder if anyone has constructed an efficient filter? Please give me some ideas. Also what would you do if you had a similar set up. I did cover the pond with a mesh because birds and racoons would eat my fish. There were alot of plants which i thinned out because the water really stunk (probably left stagnant for 10yrs + ) I do use the pond water for my garden kind of an aquaponic set up but its not really effcient( i just connect the sump to a hose and water my plants. I really need some advice please let me know what you think Thanks
