thats the pond my friend built... cheap simple strong ya cant go wrong... its for sale for a hundred bucks too but your a lil far away

This is exactly what im looking at doing. Will a standard 40gallon sump be ok for filtration or will I need to but a new one? Can anyone help explain how to filter a pond like this?
Thanks

joe has his filter set up in there.... i prefer deeper tanks for sumps for the just in case plus they allow for more options;submerged media...... rubbermaid container would work great

3 motoros @ 20" disk ( they get bigger) thats not large enough buddy.... just buys you extra time

My thread in the article section may help, its about making a stingray pond under £800.

800£ is 1600 dollars.. And he only has 750..

+ a 300 gallon pond is useless.. If you wonna build a pond, do it BIG..!

This is my 300 gallon tank. I got it for 650£.. do you get the point..?

Also, mine is only going to hold 3-4 scobinas for life.. it would get to small for motoros.. You cant house 3 motoros for more than 4-5 years in a 300 gallon.. You need to think bigger bruce..

I deffinatly think im going to do my pond like this one as stated before
http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/fo...ad.php?t=86573
Im almost positive I will be going 8'x4'x2' as long as I can find the lumber at that size because I dont want to cut it at all.
My other qusetion, is a 40 gallon sump ok to filter this pond or am I going to need to get a bigger filter?
Also where can I find a heater for this pond and what will that cost me about?
