Settled in

The fish seem to have settled in really well into their new home, can stand for hours watching then, can't wait for the summer.

Temperature Gauges

Now the fish are in and the pond completed, I wanted to get a thermeter to monitor the water temperature, I looked at a few online, and decided I wanted to get a digital one. And one that I could, use to measure the temperature throughout the pond, the surface temp, as well as the temp towards the bottom of the pond.

So purchased this one online.

Which had a one meter cable, with digital display, allowing the read out of both oC and pF.

I ordered it a couple of days ago, so will update you as it arrives in the post.

Time to Put the Fish in

Now that the pond construction is finished and the water has settled, it was time to put the fish in.

The pond ended up measuring in a 1530 ltres, with a steady flow of water coming through and after adding the required amount of pond safe, and letting it stand, it was time to move the fish over from there old home, and after a lot of bucket jumping, and fish catching they where finally put into their home.

New Pond Construction

The time has come to finally start constructing the new pond, the timber have all been cut to length and stacked ready for bolting together.

  

Once cut to length, it was a matter of stacking the timbers, on the bricks and bolting them together, using 160mm coach bolts, 3 in each end.
