I want to start a pond but am doing my research before getting started. I have a bunch of koi inside in a tank that were given to me by someone who was tired of doing a pond. So fish will not be a problem.
Questions....Fishless cycle, I assume is still a good idea? Is it the same as for FW tanks? Add ammonia, maintain ammonia, and wait for nitrate? I have 10 tanks and run 15 filters so seeded media will not be an issue to assist in the cycle. Of course I will be getting a filter designed for ponds.
Water changes. Also the same as for FW tanks? Or not nearly as necessary? Do rainfalls affect pond parameters?
Gosh there is so much I don't know I have a million things zooming through my mind. I'll keep asking as time goes on and I think of questions.
TIA.
