Presently I’m using two pumps on my pond.
The waterfall and filter are powered by a older design Diamond Mag Flow pump I had for over 12 years. This pupm looks like a standard sump pump and is rated at 3,700 gph. This pump had turned may a Koi into chopped […]

I have 1 bristlenose catfish and 11 Synodontis catfish (your upside down is in the same family). Usually you want to add catfish to a tank last since they are purportedly VERY sensitive to the harmful chemicals that occur during a cycle. One of my Synos is like my canary in the mine when […]
