bpowell487 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 As soon as our basement remodel is complete I will be setting up my first pond. I’ve purchased a 300 gallon Rubbermaid tote. I made a DIY canister filter (5 gallon Lowe’s bucket) filled with bio rings and coarse sponge from Aquarium Co-Op. I acquired an Eheim 1262 pump, which I’ve never used. Will this be too overwhelming for my DIY canister? I’m using 1” PVC and 1” to 3/4” flex tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I ran my Franken Filter on a 110 gallon out door pond last summer and it handled that with ease. I am going to include a 300+ gallon pond this year and Franky will go on that pond. I filled my bucket with lava rock, folgers is filled with carbon and topped off with medium floss. I run it so a bit of the water overflows (bypasses) the ex coffee container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
