Im in the process of doing a pond, and have for a long time been reading up, and watching anything i can before i start. One thing ive noticed is the difference in the hobby compared to tropical aquariums especially when it comes to the cycling process.
Take this as an example. Its a huge koi pond (10,000 Gallons) which they add bacteria and fish together. Forwards it to 7:55 in the vid. With a pond that size there is no way the fish will produce enough waste to keep the bacteria in the filtration alive, and by the time it becomes fully stocked any cycle would have stalled altogether? I mean could you even call that a cycle?
Its not the first time ive seen this either in fact its quite common.
