      I did a little testing with my new aerated retro-fit bottom drains today and I ended up taking a picture of the diffuser at the bottom. I am only posting this incase someone was interested in what a standard stucco grey coating would look like after 2 years of algae growth...

      So, at what depth was the test done at? What type of pipe connections were attached to the unit? Did it move at all?

      It was a 2" pipe nipple welded onto the drain, at 4' deep, and there was no extra pipe holding it in place. The drain was very secure on the bottom and actually took a good bit of force with my push stick to get it to slide on the bottom. I have a very high level of confidence that this would be secure at any depth.

      Fish are as healthy at 95 mm Hg Partial Pressure as they are in 125.8777 mm Hg Partial Pressure at Sea Level. Necessity of 100% DO saturation for optimum Koi health is rubbish, derived from breeders whom need big money to pay their prices to keep them in business. Fish's health don't act different due to their price tag!!!

      I'd love to hear how it's working out in detail.
      I'm done with digging but I have thought about doing something above ground.

      I feel your pain Steve. On the new backyard I don't think I can get a backhoe up there without tearing up the front landscaping. The thought of hand digging a 10,000 gallon hole troublesome.

      It seems as though you are correct. As of now there has been ZERO issue related to the pond construction. I have changed things around from time to time with the filtration tweaking things, but I have done nothing to the structure itself. Nothing has cracked, or leaked or bowed or anything. I haven't even painted the exterior, like I said I was going to, so it is still the stucco grey color. I am extremely satisfied with this project.

      I agree with Russ! Glad it's still holding up Zac. As this method of construction seems to have held up in this particular location, I would still not recommend that it be followed in many parts of the country as ground movement can still cause issues with block walls constructed in this manner. It is a good testament however to the ability of the SBC and Xypex products to work as stated on their respective labels however.

      Btw, Pearl, how did that "crow" taste???LOL
