Small pond filters

[tbendl]

Lowes has pumps from 120-180 Gallons Per Hour for about 25 bucks. I bought one when I first started my pond and it is still working although I just noticed you want an external pump. Do you have any pictures of your pond? It might help to see where and how to incorporate a filter. And 2 or 3 goldfish not Koi yes?
Also how deep is your pond? I noticed you are in Michigan so I'm wondering about overwintering your fish there.

you will need a pump as big as what mitch says as to small is a waste of money

So are we talking about just the pump itself or the filter?
All the external filters with uv lights are at least a 1000gph that I have seen . Is there smaller external filters with uv lights ?

They sell a pump with a built in UV
