I used about a ton, literally, of rocks and pebbles for the 2 bog filters. As you know, they are super dirty and silty in those 0.5 cu ft bags. I figured I'd share another redneck solution, if you ever come into this situation.

Been tinkering with the pond again. I had this small pump just moving water around the shallow part. Then there’s this empty pond shell, but it has a small crack. So, brain says put it inside the pond, it can leak there, and make use of both. I worry about aesthetics later lol.

I did another redneck solution. Since the bottom drain is not accessible cuz it is under water pointing into pond. With half a ton of various rocks and pebbles, how to get the muck out? Bless 3D printers!

Offering a free place for a few goldfish, koi etc that got too big for an inside tank. 4.5 ft deep/5000 g pond in Little Elm/DFW.

It’s still a bit silty from recent rains but the bog filter is doing a great job.
I’m a retired wildlife rehabilitator and figured at least I can use this as some form of rescue lol.
I have plans to put a dig proof fence around it, so it’ll be suitable for turtles as well.

Slushii graduated to 2 live worms now. Thank goodness the time where I had to cut them to tiny pieces is over! I still feel bad for the worms tho lol.

If you saw my previous post with the Aiptasia bowl, this is an offshoot from it. I took one of the rocks from the bowl and started a 10 gallon tank.

I added more dry rocks, pool filter sand, a bubble stone and an extra pump to get the water moving better since these guys are filter feeders and catch food from water flowing by. There are also bristle worms, spirorbis worms and tube worms.

Putting this Aiptasia bowl on my desk 4 years ago was one of the best decisions ever! So calming.

Husband surprised me today. Pond needs more shade. Damn umbrellas keep flying away. Bridge will do :).

After a flood event washed mud in the pond and ruined my pump, I got a stronger pump and build this big filter contraption. It ain’t pretty but I am starting to see fish again! I have a 2nd tub lined up if needed.

Einstein is turning 5 soon and is still my favorite sausage. He lives in a 6ft converted bioactive ikea shelf vivarium.

I finally got around putting up the axolotl cam. I’ll ask Claude later if and how to stream it online.

Here’s a small corner of my pond during feeding time. Right at the start u see one of the carps that hatched in a jar a year ago. Then Lemonade, the Koi and some goldfish and tons of gambusia.

I’ve been fixing leaks left and right and then the torrential rain came and washed all the mud into the water. So I made myself a big bog filter. All the yellow parts I custom printed and still have to hide it.

This is an older video from my rescue times. Freddy, the raccoon was an educational permit holder and he raised that little coati for 8 months like a mother.

I hope this kind of picture is allowed. I couldn't think of a better place to post it.

It's my own photo. Retired rehabber here. Feel free to share this message and picture far and wide. No credit needed.

Le Petit Prince made it to 9ft in less than 2 years. Is that normal? Joseph’s Coat to the left was planted at the same time and is also breaching the 8ft fence. They just got done flowering and got into the grow phase. I’m stunned! North Texas.
