i bought the stock tank at agway (feed stores have them too) most of the
parts at home depot. The only thing I have been changing over is the filter
media. I used floor scrubbing pads but they are too hard to clean and I
have swapped out some for screening this year. Also, this year I added legs
to help support the plastic grate that holds the filter media off the
bottom. I missed the original post. I don't have time this time of year to
spend on the computer as I do in the winter. Good luck to whoever is
building theirs now. My pond is 3600 gals +/- and this works well for me.
I'm overloaded with fish right now but the filter is doing an adequate job
but requires cleaning more frequently. The babies that are now 1 year old
are very hard to catch. I've removed 30 of them to friends and family and
have another 30 to catch before the snow flies

I think one of the people who responded to your query already mentioned
this
web site, but I found it last night and found it FULL of interesting
info -
and an apparently EXCELLENT D.I.Y filter that they've designed, and can
sell
you parts for it and other related stuff for keeping your pond clean.
I've
just dug my pond - and that's where I am in the process - but I may be
using
this filter design if for no other reason than to save money and eliminate
a
lot of the maintenance other filter systems require.
Good luck!
Here's the web site...just click on it or copy and paste it into your web
browser...

Does anyone have plans for a diy filter or a recommended site to find
