hi
was thinking of useing one of these on my tropical pond as a giant filter http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180176167536&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008 just wondered what anyone else thought on the idea?
was going to either be gravity fed from 40mm pipe from bottom egde of pond or pump fed agsin from 40mm pipework about 6 feeds into 1 length of pipe ok?
still at planning stage at moment got pond just need to decide where to put pipework etc
cheers
