Hi... new here so just thought I would share one of my passions... ponding!

7000 (imperial) gallons
Nexus 3000 filter
Sequence 4200 gph low head external pump
Airtech 120 air pump
-A 4 inch bottom drain gravity feds to the filter, the pump returns the water to the falls, the air pump supplies the bottom drain diffuser and the moving bed media in the filter.
- 15 koi live in here
