Minanora Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Greetings from the California wine country area. Welcome back to the, ever evolving, hobby. Love your DIY pond! Cool setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Interesting , I'm unfamiliar with the fish so I'm guessing they are natives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hollywood Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Yes Bluegill and channel catfish are native to most of the US. A very hardy breed of fish that will take a lot of abuse. Mine are pretty spoiled. I'm heating with a 150 watt heater and a Thermosiphon I ran through window into living room space that is always heated during winter picks up heat of room with a piece of copper tubing circulating water heated by the room. It puts out 4 to 11 deg F. of heat at each pass of the water into the tank. Its very cool. Pic is of ten feet of 1/2" copper tubing I could add another ten feet for mor heat, but temp going to pond is usually around 74 deg. F. I keep my living room around 78 deg. F. So far my tank only gets down to 70 deg. F. and 32 deg F. outside. I cover everynight and have two layers of reflexics on whole setup.

Mr. Hollywood Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I'm long in the tooth and reflexes slow down and so do bikes. I ride a 2019 Yamaha 125 Zuma scooter, with customized 56 quart igloo ice chest dog box. I needed a step through for my bad knee, Motorcycle caused. My dogs name is Tex he will be three in Jan. and has 7500 miles riding behind me he started at 3 months old and 16 lbs and is now almost 3 yrs old and weighs 60 lbs. He is with me 99% of the time so you will see more of him I'm sure. During summer and warm days I take a 42 mile road in the mountains and I'll only see 6 cars for first 3 miles after that 1 or 2 cars is all I will see for whole ride till we get back.
