Hi all

after many years of keeping fish from tropical to a very large
sal****er reef aquarium (400 gallon tank in the lounge) i now fancy a
pond, i cant be bothered to did a big hole so i fancy one of those
above ground kits with the timber surround they do a 400g model, anyway
can anyone advise a good way to filter this type of pond i dont want to
spend a fortune as its not going to be heavly stocked just a few gold
fish or small koi,

If it's only 400g the koi will outgrow it in a few years depending on
feeding and water quality. Pass on the koi.

will i need a uv to keep it clear and from an
electric point of view can i run a exterior grade cable from a plug or
spur in the house to a water proof junction box out side then split it
to power a filter and pumps uv lights etc, any views on this type of
pond is welcome...

I'll let someone else answer that one.
