Hey everyone My name is Mark and I am from Modesto California, This is
my first time doing this and would was wondering if you folks could help a
newbie. I attached a pic where im going to put my pond and my main
question
is that I do not intend to put fish or plants in this pond just a planter
type water feature and was wondering if I actually need a filter system or
can I just use a standard fountain pump? As you can see the pond will be
kind of big. I attached two pics,,,one is of my house and where I want the
pond and another of basically what I want it too look like.

The key words here are "I do not intend to put fish...in." No fish, no
filter needed. You may want a small prefilter, some foam or something, just
to keep any gunk from plugging your filter up, but be straight withyourself.
You'll have fish, maybe not this year...but...you'll have fish...oh...you
will have fish...
