I recently started up a new project indoor pond that I am keeping really low scale till I know I am doing everything correctly. I have raised fish for years, but have always done the same thing time and time again so I have no way of answering my own question.
I have a 30 gallon pool set up as an indoor pond in one of my spare rooms, and I built my own filtration system using a lot of wonderful tips and tricks over the internet. Having tested all of my levels to make sure they are accurate, which they are ever since cycle happened.
My question today is; If I have placed an aeration stone in my homemade filter, and I also allow the filter to pour back into the pond directly. Is there any need for me to have another aeration stone in the pond itself?
I have the filter running over rocks and breaking the surface of the water as within an inch or so as it enters back into the pond. this was done to make sure there wasn't a ton of noise kicking back into the room. I placed an aeration stone in the bottom of the filter to help with bacteria growth.
It got me wondering however, with the water running back into the pond making air bubbles, plus the aeration stone in the filter, would I really need to add a second stone inside the pond itself.
