I am getting ready to build a 8' X 7' pond 30" deep.

About 2 years ago, I was going to build a larger pond w/ waterfall and
bought a Becker PS1600A Submerged pump.

I now decided for our space in our landscape, to do a smaller one w/ out a
waterfall. I know this pump may be overkill, but I would hate to have to buy
another one when I have a perfectly good one available to me.

I plan to have both fish an some plant life.

I am looking for advice on what I should do as far as utilizing my existing
pump. Would you recommend some gravity based bio-filter? Attachments to
restrict the flow? Fountain adapters, etc?? Or buy a whole new pump?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Use the pump. The capacity of the pump is sufficient for between 1 and
2 turn overs of the pond per hour. That is acceptable, even desirable.

Thanks... I went ahead and ordered the attachments necessary to make a
waterbell from the pump.
