Savio Kit #2
 

I'm building my first pond next spring---10X12' for goldfish, no Koi (sorry
to keep repeating this, but I assume it's important).

I spent 4 hours today surfing the Internet and comparing kits, vendors, and
prices. Savio seems to be a popular brand name. I'm thinking of purchasing
the Savio Kit #2 from AZPonds at
http://www.azponds.com/NEW%20Pond%20kits.htm . It has a 20X20 liner, a
Power Jet 7000 pump (2142gph/129W/1.25" outlet), a Savio 8.5" biofilter, and
a Savio 22" waterfall filter. I will probably also purchase the Savio
optional mid-water intake kit so I can also run a hose to the bottom to
hopefully pull some of that water into the filter.

Any comments or suggestion on any of this?

Looks like a nice kit and great price, although I don't know much about
the Laguna pumps. I purchased a similar kit from 123ponds this summer
and had them substitute a Tsurumi pump for the Cal pump (bought the
DIY kit which is sans liner since I had a 20x20 liner I'd recently
purchased from someone at work). BTW, the kit doesn't include
underlayment so be sure to order some, especially since you live in
a very rocky area! :)
