Hello
I started to build the water garden yesterday, have completed the walls now its raining so the liner will wait a few days. walls are ft X built into a square box. I calculated the volume to be about 1200 gal. its going to be for plants and a few goldfish. wanted to get some opinions on this filter set up http://www.lifegardaquatics.com/products/product.php?id=34#

you'll should be o.k with 1200 gallons,plenty of plants and a low fish count. but it definately wouldnt be my first choice!!

Hello
Thank you for the response. It was not my first choice it was a gift. i figure ill try it and can always add more filtration if needed. i do plan on keeping my fish count low and plant count high.

well heck...you cant beat the price...if it doesnt perform satisfactorally you can use it and just incorperate an inexpensive external filter after it. you could easily replace the fountain pipe with some hose and run it to a filter.. remove the factory media from this setup and replace it with all corse media and make this a prefilter. and the u.v is nice...good luck!

The price was right use it until you want more filtration
or get tired of pulling it out to clean it
