i just bought a 300 gallon stock tank that im going 2 make into a pond , right now its prtty bare i am going to set it up when i get a good filter for it . any recommendations on what kind i should get? i was thinking fluval 405 . anyway heres some photos
So ive finally had the chance to make the skippy filter ! right now it looks kind of Bootleg but ill have it looking a little more decent in a few weeks. for media filter i used lava rocks just becouse its cheap ,later i want to complement it with some sponges well c what happens. its been about a week since i cleaned the pond so im just gunna let the filter take over , im hoping it cleans it for the most part atleast. im using a 330 gph pond pump and i think the plastic container that im using is about 10 or 15 gallons somewhere around there so ive got my fingers crossed and hoping thats big enough, i want to get a UV sterilizer later. anyway phase 1 of the skippy filter project complete

Minimum filter I would go with is a FX5 and it would still be underpowered for it. Two or a custom filter will be more suitable if this will be filled to the top.
ive been thinking about making a diy filter out of a 55 gallon barrel and a gph pump if that doesnt work out well ill have to just figure out how i can make the 4X5 water proof to keep from getting wet from outside, shouldnt be 2 hard . thnx 4 the input everyone ill take pics and updates on how it goes
