I am looking at petsmart.com and I am really interested in this pond filter. Is this able to be used in a 55gal? Or in an outdoor pond? We are also getting an outdoor pond to house goldfish. The size pond will be around 120-200.
Can I use it in a 55gal?
120-200gal pond?

Hello. I purchased a 7,500 gallon filter on Aug. 9th. The ebay ad was for a 7500 filter, uv, and pump nib. I received my filter yesterday and when I read the information on the box, it is the wrong filter (SunSun CPF-250). This filter can only handle a 2,905 gallon pond. Also, the pump I bought was supposed to be 2,200 g/h. The one I received had no box, no model number and no other identifying information so I don’t know if it is the correct one or not. When I contacted the seller about the mistake, he told me that the one he gave me (2,905 gallons) was the correct one and that a warehouse had made the internal parts thicker and added a quartz sleeve to the uv light so it could be able to handle 7,500 gallons. There is no indication that these changes were made (Box is unopened and has no peeled tape or previous tape, the packaging, paperwork, and manufacturer all say that it is for ponds up to 2,905 gallons). The only thing indicating that this is the correct filter for a 7,500 gallon pond is him telling me it is. Is it possible to increase a filter’s cleaning capacity by 3600 gallons by making the internals thicker and adding a quartz sleeve to the uv light? This sounds like a scam to me……

Is it possible that someone could give me plans (with pictures) on how to build a pond filter that sits outside my pond. The pond can only hold about 500 gallons so I don’t need anything huge.

Please try and find pages with specific instructions.

I have a small pond (about 100-125 gal) with about 5-6 small kois & quite a few guppies. There are lots of water plants in it but the water is still green. I applied Barley Straw twice already but I don’t think that works very effectively. I’m thinking to get a filter but I don’t know which one to get. Should I get a UV sterilizer? Can someone recommend me a decent & affordable one - prefer under $100.

Thanks in advance!

If you have access to the Aquadyne .60b Bead Filtration System I could use some info. And shortcuts on how to install plus tips on how to use. its got a tank about 33 inches tall and 16 inches wide. A 1 ft tall 1 ft wide pump a pipe that has a valve on one end and splits into two on the other end. a pipe that bends. and a bag that feels like a bunch of beads this is probably packeging material correct me if I’m wrong.

How in the world do I use this machine?
I think the beads are part of the system because it’s a bead filtration system, but how and where do you put the beads?
