Someone GAVE me a pump with a pipe on top that i can use if i
ever
have the rock for a waterfall. (Hose screws on top) But for the
time
being i want to just let it come out of the top. I dont want any
critters sucked in the bottom so i sat the pump in a plastic
bucket
and covered the bottom with screen. But i know think i need
filtering
material if i dont want to pull it up and unclog it all the time,
am i
right? I can go to HD and get something, but WHAT DO I ASK FOR??
Thanks


Thank you. I keep forgetting to go look for one.
