[Solar powered USB nano air pump]

Hi everyone!  Thank you for your interest.  Here is the parts list I promised.  Some caveats: I am not affiliated with the following links.  The links to any product are really there for reference.  That being said I did use these actual products (well not the airline as I had some lengths sitting around, and the check valve is not in the picture as I havent installed it yet, but they recently arrived!)  I glanced at the rules and didn't see that I couldnt post links.  If this is not allowed then I will happily take this down and repost the list without links.  I am hoping to buy all of the supplies and a new pond this month to not only set up a new pond but also document the process of how to assemble this and how I figured out what parts to buy.

Yeah me too. This might end up going belly up. I’ll do my best to post updates throughout the summer. And see how far into fall I can push it.

I want to put up one more pond in the back yard so I will document the process. And soon I will put up the parts list with links to each component.

There is a small solar panel attached to an outdoor electrical box and inside is a 12v battery, a controller board that came with the solar panel and the usb nano pump connected to a sponge filter.

I used the aquarium coop usb nano pump.

After some investigation, know how, and a bit of help I put together the bits to run a USB air pump off of solar power for my pond in a water resistant electrical box.
