Does anyone have any experience with the new PopUpPond product? I saw a
little blurb about it in the cichlid issue of TFH and also saw it at a
local pet store. Needless to say I'm a tad skeptical that it could be any
good for how little it costs (less than $50 for the 45 gallon model). I am
however looking for a cheap water feature for the patio at my new
apartment and the 28 gallon model seems to fit that bill. To clarify, no I
would not be putting koi in something that small, probably only mosquito
fish or perhaps one comet goldfish. I'm looking mostly for a water feature
with some emerged plants to complement my container vegetable garden that
is not very expensive.

I don't have any experience with it, but it looks to be not a bad little
package for a patio puddle. JustLiners sells it for $25 and $35 for the 28
and 50 gallon models. Looks like all it comes with is a 60 gph pump, but
that's adequate to build a mini filter around, and gives enough turnover.
