Probably the best compbination for that size and setup would be a
Cyprio Bio Force 1000, hooked up to a Cyprio Titan 800 submersible
pump. It wil have sufficient flow to provide decent flow out and down
a water fall. The filter has the capability to filter out algae, its
a pressure type, and has a solids settlement section as well. It is an
external type filter and can be placed in the ground and only the top
portion of it exposed, which is easy to conceal. It is easy to clean
and service. The Tital pump has an adjustable inlet grid screen so you
can lcos eit down to as small as 2mm to keep fry etc from entering the
pump. If yuor in a tropical or sub tropical zone 8 and I owul
dconsider the 1000 as your gonna need more capacity than those living
up in the cooler regions.

Filter can alsl have a UV added to it, but UV is a continual waste of
money with bulb replacement annually,

Getting rid of suspended algae is not a waste of money.

so their overall cost never goes
down and continues to be a yearly requirement../

Pump about $80-90 and filter about $70 plus 1" or 3/4" hose / tube.
and it would put you in business with a more than adequate filtration
system.

Well I have been reading for a few weeks and finally decided to do a
pond.
I will probably just put a few small goldfish in it nothing big. It
will be
a preformed one from HD 165 gallons and 18" deep. I will bring in
the
goldfish in the winter to an aquarium ( i have 4 of them).

My questions is : I will be getting a pump and filter combo
(Beckett Small
Pond Filter Kit Model 7040210). Will I be able to run a waterfall
that is 2
ft high and about 3 feet away from where the pump will be located?
I
noticed that it has a valve for other water features on it so that
is what I
was going to hook up to it. I will use the fountain attachement
also.

Thanks in advance. It is all confusing to me. I am jsut not
wanting to
spend money on two pumps if not needed.

Thanks
steve

What's the gph on the pump? ~ jan
