PLEASE someone help me? I'm losing it. (Need pumps)
Lisa wrote: Richtoybox - When you say 750gph, do you mean a 750gph pump or a pump that would spill 750gph at the HEIGHT (top) of the Falls? I.e.; The Pondmaster 700gph is 400 at 6 feet. the 950gph is really 720 The 1200gph is 950 I'm getting so frustrated with this process. Really worried about investing in the wrong setup. I just want to make sure the pump for the biofilter is going to be perfect to keep the pond moving and clear 24/7. I guess the 2nd pump for Waterfall drama is less important - or easier to figure out as it would be more the "bonus" pump and not really detrimental to the pond. Hope to get many more opinions. After 3 days of this, I'm about ready to cry. -- get the bigger pump you can afford even if you pump a little extra water through the bio filter it wont hurt some remomend 1 x pond volume per hour some recomend 2x per hour and I am runing pond volume every 4 hours myself right now all you are trying to do is get the water to the bio bugs if they dont get it the first round thy'll pick it up on another round remember they arent just in the filter they are in the whole pond on every surface plants liner rock fish whatever relax it s not realy that critical John Rutz Z5 New Mexico If it can't be fixed with bailing wire or duct tape its not worth fixing see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |
