I want to build a filter for my pond, actually a friend will help me. Time is difficult right now.
What I have is about an 100G pond. Would like to build a small filter that is above the pond for all of the filtration..
I bought a 18G Rubbermaid Tub w/lid, Ceiling tile the one that is 1 "squares for dividing the filter, bioballs from existing filter. What I had thought about was cutting the tile to fit into sections in the tub, mech, bio, etc. sections. Siliconing tile into place. So here is where I get real fuzzy. What type of pump should I use. I want to pull the dirty water from the pond into the filter, place the pump in the filter box.
Any suggestions on how to do this and what mistakes am I making in this design.
Thought about having the intake toward the top of the tub and the outlet at the lower side, a hose would connect back to the pond. Put a drain in. Does this sound like a good design????
My existing filter keeps getting raided by the raccoons and just creates a mess.
With a setup like this will be able to net the pond and house all of the mechanical out of pond.
Impute is happily suggested
Thank You,
Karen
