I can’t tell you what the fountain pump was my husband suprised me with it a few years ago( a beckett maybe).. we had it on a elevated stand in the pond about 2 feet underwater and 3 feet above the bottom. It had ran constanly for 2 years even through the winter, I […]
Rebecca, what kind of fountain pump did you have before? Did you have that pump sitting right on the bottom of the pond, or sitting on some type of platform? If your pond bottom is really loose muck, you might want to sit your replacement on top of a […]
I currently am using a sump pump and I agree it has issues. Mine is in side a mesh trashcan with a screen attached to the top to keep the fish out. They will go in any container you place it in (learned this the hard way). I plan on getting a […]
Nooura,
You need to make up your mind whether you will keep using the UGF or if you will go with an outside filter prior to breaking down the tank. I would argue for the outside filter.

Today we tore apart our biofilter. The plants have overun it and the water flow was horrble.
We found a preformed piece for barrels that was very deep with a spill over lip.
1.. Positioned the container at one of our container water garden. 2.. Now will need a black 20′ […]
