So basically no matter what pumps I chose to use I should probably just get
one pump and filter set up and one waterfall pump. Correct? "Go Fig" wrote in message ... In article , Steve wrote: 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? It is very doubtful that this matched pump will run this proposed waterfall with more than a small trickle (perhaps the desirable effect)... consider using a 2nd pump to run the waterfall... a Pondmaster #12 might be a good choice w/ 1" tubing for a strong flow/ rate. Have you looked at the Pondmaster filter w/ a skimmer ? Good Luck! jay Mon Jun 05, 2006 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 |
