Since that new rubbermade tub cracked, yet another year I'll have to try to
come up with a decent filter system. The pond is overstocked, so I'll have
to sell of some of the larger fish to the local pet shop again.

I'll, really getting quite tired of having to rebuild a filter every single
year, and living in the boondocks makes it hard to find hardware to cobble
one up at a reasonable price. I'll try the farmer's supply store, and see if
I can find something with a cover, but i also think I want something I can
put a drain in teh bottom of, with a line so I can just hose it off from
opening the lid, rather then taking the mess apart to clean it every week or
so.

Since the water visibility has been so bad the last year or so, the pond is
becomming more work then it's worth.


How about making a raised earthen container and just using pond liner?
This is how I'm doing my next filter.
