theotheragentm Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I have my goldfish barrel clocking in at approximately 100 gallons. It does fine with no filtration as it's heavily planted with water lilies. Currently it has a solar-powered air stone, which runs 8-10 hours a day. I was thinking of trying to build some mechanical filtration with more flow than sponge filter could provide. Does anyone have a recommendation for a submersible solar pump? I wouldn't need the typical turnover rate people look for in a filter, so I'm thinking I could go with a smaller pump/panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had these in the past. That's probably one size smaller than I was initially thinking. They're nice, but when they end up on the edge, they splash water out of the the barrel. Plus I have have shade set up around the barrel so if it drifts to that side, it won't work. My air pump functions with a cable and panel mounted up higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
