ThankYou all for the replies sorry i have not replied sooner as my dad has been porly in hospital i will get a box filter then as to the uv i never knew you could buy that seperate for a pond how does it work does it go in the pond or does it connect to the pipe work regards brian

Dont they do a better job of filtering with being pressurised ?

Hi all does anyone know if these filters are any good regards brian http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laguna-Pres ... es_UK&hash=item564a5b247e I can get one today for £90 brand new so anyone who knows i would appreciate it thanks

Well thankyou so much for the calculations i will go with 1600 litres...I have also just ben informed it was actually used to stop spillage of sodium hypochloride (bleach) so i now know it could not be used to keep fish in it unless a liner was used and to be honest there are no smells from the container at all i wonder if i could test it some how ?..As to using it as a feature for the garden i rhink it is way to big for that as my garden is a bit to small and i think it would look out of place as to bracing it i would do that when i use decking around it if i do manage to be able to use it regards brian

Hi Fishlady thanks for the calculation i am still lost with all that lol i got the container off the father inlaw it was used in a swimming baths to catch any spillages from some kind of other big tanks cant quite remember what it was now but he has a pond and says that it is fully safe to keep fish in regards brian

For some reason its not uploading the pic of it

Hi all i was given a large container and i want to make a pond with it it measures 62" x 62" x 33" deep i calculate that to 2078.732 litres what would be a good pump/filter for it ? And would it be cheaper to make my own filter ? what i want to do is sink it in the ground about 12" then deck around the rest of it if anyone has any other ideas please let me know regards brian

Hi Lee it has now cleared up it was actually air pockets under the skin from when my sump had run low re blowing lots of air bubbles into the tank regards brian
