Pond filter ordered

I got paid today so I bought the filter for the pond:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Pond-Solutions-CUP-305-Steriliser/dp/B01MSWKJKI

It looks like a good value filter with UV and a fountain for oxygenation so I am going to try it.

As the water is deep I can't see the fountain upsetting the axolotls too much.

It arrives on Saturday so I will fit it and leave the pond for a few days without axolotls for it to get established. I am going to leave the existing spondge filter in there for now too to help the new filter get established.

I skimmed off a load of dead algae front he surface of the pond today and added 3 tubes of daphnia that arrived yesterday. Hopefully the daphnia will help with the algae too.

I turned the pump back on today too to see how it gets on with clearing the water so that I can see if I need more algae killer before the pump arrives at the weekend. At the moment it is looking like it will be needed though.

I have also done cleaning and water changes on my smaller aquariums and the tub with the pond Axolotls in it. So they are all happy and I am a bit more relaxed as the tanks were getting really dirty which stresses me out!!

I have also done some more cleaning on the pond and the water is looking much better than it was.
