So I decided to take some pics today to show off everything.

First change, clean water!
2 weeks ago

Now

I went fishing for turtles!

Got one!

Its Agamemnon! 5.5"!

Next its Kingler's turn!

She's only about 8"

I could feel at least two more eggs. I hope she lays them soon.

Clear pond!

The water is 80 F

KINGLER!

Agamemnon!

Meow!

The two ladies!

The new Filter

The first layer is pre-filter(The rock is to stop the water pressure from ripping through the media)

Carbon

Foam

Bio-balls then more foam.

Last, can anyone identify this worm. I found hundreds in the filter.

Yep those are bloodworms(midge larvae) there nothing to worry about there actually helping to clean the filter. There just eating the waste and helping to break it down.

Very nice! I'm actaully looking at building a pond for one of my RES right now. What size pump do you have that is pumping the water into the 5g bucket?

Posted: **Fri Aug 07, 2009 2:52 pm**

The Pump is 600GPH. It came with the pond.

Nice setup! And I like the home made filter. Also, the pic of Kingler trying to bite
the ruler is cute.

"Die ruler, die!!! MUHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Such a cool pond.

I think it's awesome someone as young as you, is so into a project like this. A lot better than that drug, gang, theft and other crap teens get dragged into.
