Introduction and filter question
My name is John.
I live at Assiniboia SK Canada. It is in Zone 3a. I have a 300 gallon pond outside which I'm enlarging in the spring. I have moved my 3 6" koi, 1 8" goldfish and 6 2" comets inside to a 150 gallon plastic stock tank. What kind of pump and filter should I use? My outside pump and filter is too large. Thanks. -- John Stobbs Box 1303 Assiniboia, SK Canada S0H 0B0 Remove spam for proper email address

Introduction and filter question
A good filter for this size pond is the strawberry jar trickle tower filter.
Take a terra cotta strawberry jar, run tubing from the pump up through the bottom hole, all the way to the top, and add lava rock around the tubing. Add a small pump, to flow the water over the top of the lava rock. Set the strawberry jar on a stand that gets it above water, and it will do a wonderful job. Do a Google for strawberry jar in rec.ponds for additional info.. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "John Stobbs" wrote in message ... My name is John.
