actually bai ursolla,

adding a pump to your existing one will do. as long as you keep the GPH... if anyone is looking for pond pump... naa ko katong orange.. only used once for a project nga palpak... dili ka daug sa hieight sa "waterfalls".. :P i ended up buying a 2hp big-@ss pump.

[usrolla]

markykoi actually murag 3/4 ang thickness niya nya double layer ang iya base

zerk pila pod na sya? pwede ra ba na sa aquarium?

[zerk]

ambot lang kaha.. :P hehehehe.. basin dako then samok tanawon sa aquarium nimo. it doesn't help that the color is bright orange... lt's made for ponds but it should work for an aquarium.

I bought it for 3000 plus before.. pwede siguro 1600. hehehe.. canvass lang

the pump say .07 cubic meters / minutes that should be 1109.2 gallons per hour. so your aquarium tank will circulate a little more than 5 times in an hour. since your tank is about 200 gals.

according to the website..

Tank Type Turnover Rate
Freshwater Fish-Only 4 times per hour
Planted Tanks 2 times per hour
Fry Tanks or Tanks with Small Freshwater Fishes or Bettas 2 times per hour
Freshwater Tanks with Large Specimens (Increased Waste) 5-6 times per hour
Saltwater Fish-Only 5-10+ times per hour
Saltwater Reef 10-20+ times per hour

depende ra jud unsa ibutang nimo sa aquarium, bai.


if dili nimo paliton.. okey ra sab....basin maka fishpond ko puhon.

nice lagi... daku kaayo ni zerk?

[zerk]

the green hose naka attached is your ordinary garden hose 1/2" or 5/8"

the height of the pump is about 8" diameter is about 6" at the bottom 4" at the top.

@ursolla sakto si zerk di ka apas ug filter imu motor. and another mu add ana is koi/carp pajud imu gbutang, mga hugawan ka dugo sa mga goldfishes. for me more on mechanical filtration(kana mga fiber wool or cotton since d ka mka butang ug filter brushes. nya biological daun mga bioballs and ceramic rings gamit na sa culture ug good bacterias. hope this helps

[kenny_tiu7]

and oh yea about sa filter wool or cotton fiber, if you wanna save money, dont buy sa petshops ad2 palit sa progress or sa sungold ingna lng filter wool or cotton fiber per meter ila baligya ana. yes mas low qaulity xa but huna2-un nimu e dobol2 nimu so mas better na xa. heheh just my 2 cents :mrgreen:
