Laguna or Tetra Pond Filters

[benzjamin13]

I've been thinking of buying a pond filter with a UV Sterilizer. Which one would you guys recommend? I've only really seen Tetra and Laguna around. Any others that might be good?

I use a Tetra 1500 right now and it works pretty good and easy to clean, I have not used Laguna before, but I am also looking for a new filter and pump because I am increasing my pond size to about 1900 gal to 2000 gal

Never used either one...

I'm leaning towards Laguna. I see more of their product around more than Tetra Pond.

What size pond? I personally woudnt use any of that stuff for a serious pond. I've grown fond to pressurized bead filters and would never look back!

I'm leaning toward Laguna if you don't go the DIY route.

It's an above ground pond that I built...it's less than 400g.

I would not buy a pressure filter. If I had to do it all over again - only a gravatitional filter within builtin UV. And buy it bigger than what you think you need.
