High quality garden landscape small fish pond practices and techniques
The practice of small fish ponds in garden landscapes is relatively simple, and the following aspects are generally considered:
1. Fish pond size. According to the environment you choose, the size of the fish pond is determined, and 2 to 3 square meters is required. Fish ponds can be streamlined or regular (such as rectangles), such as rectangles, and the aspect ratio should be 3:2.
2. Fish pond depth. The core function of the fish pond is to raise ornamental fish, so the depth of the fish pond water selection of 35 to 50cm is ideal, too deep and heavy, but also need to strengthen the waterproof matching; too shallow, fish activity is not enough.
3. Fish pond digging square wall. A sunken fish pond is recommended, which is conducive to waterproof treatment. If the straight wall pool is used, the waterproof treatment is more difficult. The fish pond should be set up with several nozzles: water supply inlet (can be connected to the water pipe network), drainage outlet (independently set, generally set in the filtration pool), overflow inlet (set at the normal water level, to ensure that the water level of the pool is used, excess water will flow through this mouth). The above water inlet is made of hard PVT pipes on the market (note: where through the pool wall, add a water stop ring and apply glass glue along the opening).
In addition to the necessary thickness and structural materials, the pool wall should be increased waterproof materials, both sides of the pool wall are made of waterproof mortar, the junction between the bottom of the pool and the pool wall should be staggered and solidified, and add waterproof materials (such as waterproof cement). If the fish pond is small, the bottom of the pool does not need to add reinforcement, if the fish pond is larger, the bottom of the pool must add a steel layer.
4. Pipeline fittings preparation. To prepare some accessories, the main ones are: ordinary PVC pipes, cable lines, control boxes, tees, submersible pumps, sprayers, submersible lamps, transformers (AC to DC 12 volts), decorative parts, etc.
5. Other materials that may be used. Such as mountain stone, decorative plants, cultural stone carvings, etc. The stones used in fish ponds are mostly absorbent stones, shou grain stones, qingyun tablets or ordinary ink stone (a kind of limestone). Among them, water-absorbing stones, shou grain stones, and qingyun tablets are the most commonly used. Small fish ponds are made of whole rocks, and if you can't find a single stone, you can also make multiple rocks. When stacking stones, there should be a distinction between primary and secondary, that is, there are main peaks and secondary peaks, the main peak is larger on the left, and the secondary peak is smaller on the right, and the so-called left green dragon and right white tiger are also. In addition, the two peaks should be looked forward to and can echo each other.
6. Pay attention to the problem. The construction of the pool should pay attention to weather changes, and it is not suitable for construction if there is rain or returning to the south. In addition, where the pool wall is made of red brick, to increase the waterproof layer, it is best to lay a layer of asphalt mat tarpaulin. If the bottom of the pool is paved with fine pebbles, it is necessary to pay attention to the depth of the pebble points, the ratio of mortar, the quality of cement and the maintenance time. The depth of conventional pebble spot seeds is half to two-thirds of the stone diameter; the mortar ratio is 1:3; cement is a newly purchased qualified product; and the maintenance time is mostly 5 to 7 days. After the construction of the bottom of the pool is slightly dry, it should be maintained with a spray of water sprayed by a mist once a day continuously within the number of maintenance days.
7. Fish are placed in the problem. After the completion of the construction of the pool, the maintenance period is over, the water should be tested more than 2 times, each time the water test will fill the pool (5cm above the usual water level), retain for one day to see if there is a leak, if the water level drops less the next day (such as no more than 8cm), indicating that the pool is waterproof. Put the water dry again, 48 hours and then fill it with water as the last time, continue to observe for 48 hours, the water level generally does not exceed 5cm. After that, the water is continuously released to maintain the pool, generally once a week, and after one month, you can stock koi and other fish.

The specific process and method of the construction of the small fish pond in the garden:
1. Process: Line release → fish pond digging square → pond wall masonry (including filtration tank) → stacked stone hoisting (showing the actual situation) → waterproofing and plastering treatment → pool bottom pebble paving → pipe fittings connected and installed → fish pond lighting → fish pond cleaning and maintenance → test the water→ fish stocking → finished products
2. Application method:
(1) Use lime to release the contour line of the fish pond according to the diagram, including along the pond line (that is, the brick line along the fish pond).
(2) Dig the earth of the fish pond, dig according to the depth, it is not advisable to dig more, and control it with a ruler. Clear the pool bottom wall and manually tame the pool bottom.
(3) Pool bottom construction, first lay a layer of gravel, 12cm thick, with mesh steel bars, injection of waterproof concrete (concrete with waterproof powder), plastering leveling. If you want to plant pebbles, add an extra layer of plain cement slurry about 3 cm thick, and then plant pebbles. 12 hours after laying the pebbles, the surface of the pebbles can be gently wiped with broken wood (sawdust), and the effect is ideal. When sweeping, the feet cannot step on the surface of the bottom of the pool, and the wooden board can be placed horizontally between the pools for flexible construction.
(4) Brick pool wall, small fish pond, a leather brick can be, immediately plastered after bricking, even do waterproof treatment. When the pool is not large, the ordinary film is used as a waterproof layer, and a slightly larger layer of tarpaulin is added (sold on the market). The wall of the sunken fish pond can also be plastered directly with waterproof cement, and the waterproof ash can be continuously plastered twice.
(5) Hanging mountain stone (set sometimes). The use of cranes is safer, and the laminated stone type can be artificially stacked. When hoisting, someone should direct it to ensure safety. At the same time, after hoisting, it is necessary to first support it with wooden strips to ensure the main scene of the stone, and then do a good job of mountain stone support piers (such as brick support piers) in the pool according to the actual situation, and reinforce them with cement mortar to keep them still for 48 hours.

(6) Install pipeline fittings. All kinds of pipe fittings should be hidden between the mountain stones or masonry, the line direction should be clear, the pipeline through the mountain stone should be used between the leakage pores of the stones, and the stone gaps that do not let the flowing water should be filled with cement mortar. The installation of submerged lamps in the pool should be used in a junction box (market available), and the wire should be waterproofed and can be placed in a PVC pipe and then placed inside. After all the pipelines are installed, the connector is connected to the opening in the control box, and the switch functions are noted with labels. Note: For the introduction of a power supply of 220 volts, a DC converter must be added in the control box to convert AC to 12 volts DC.
(7) Construction decoration along the pool. Sunken fish pond, the edge of the pool should be higher than the base surface (that is, the ground) 8 to 10cm, after the brick plastering layer, and then paste the cultural bricks, cultural bricks choose dark or blue-gray as well. When slicing cultural bricks, draw lines according to the bend of the pool. After the masonry is applied, it must be sewn, and the excess mortar during the sewing is removed with a rag.
(8) Test the water maintenance. After everything is done, you can test the water (when testing the water, together with the test light and the falling water), first put the water once, fill it to the regular water level, look at the falling water level after 24 hours, inject the water again after the discharge, look at the water level after 48 hours, if the decline is not much, the construction quality is good. Ornamental fish can be stocked after about a month of continuous water exchange maintenance.
(9) Additional instructions: Some owners, requiring engraving on the stone surface, there are two methods: one is to use prefabricated inscription, that is, after selecting the mountain stone, it is handed over to a professional engraving master to do (more electric engraving); the other is to carve it by hand, before hoisting, the stone surface to be engraved will first be watered, sprayed with water for many days, and then the word to be engraved (or inkjet) can be engraved on the stone surface, and it can be engraved according to the word mold. After carving, choose the color you like.
