I am in the process of putting in my first pond. I have not had the time to do alot of research as this pond was suppose to just be a rock wall and then my wife decided she wanted a pond. I believe I am around 2500 gallons and plan on having a waterfall, plants, and goldfish. I bought a beckett 3560 gph pump and firestone liner. Pond is 34" at deepest point. Do I also need a filter or will the plants take care of it? If I need a filter what is the best option for what I described. I am trying to spend as little as possible this year and will upgrade if needed next year.
Also I saw a place on line that sold starter kits of plants based on pond size. Is this the best/most economical way to get plants?
