How big is your fish tank?: Small kidney shaped backyard pond. I have no idea how many gallons it is. -45 dead fish so far after pvc pipe fell and pumped the water out of the tank.

Please tell us something else about yourself.: I live in Broomfield with a little backyard and pond. I just set up a flood table next to the fishpond. It is only 2 x 3 ft approx. and I also have 10 ft 6 inch pvc flood and drain(2 5 ft sections) with net pots over the fish tank.

1 cubic foot = 7.48051948 US gallons

45 fish seems like lot of fish for the size of grow bed you have without any supplemental filtration.

Everyone is quite happy to help out new members – no question is too basic.
