It's time to think about the pond

I got me a bigger pond pump for a bigger bog filter This pump will have a 15 ft output so I can get a better filtration for the pond & aeration for the fish. Yes it cost a little more but for good filtration & aeration for a 8 ft round 4 ft deep pond & 20 6 inch goldfish you want to give them all that. I will be working on attaching a 110 gal stock tank on to the pond for extra filtration & after that is all set up & going I'm going to do something that no 1 has ever thought about. I'm going to make a bog filter green house ? That's where you make a green house & put a bog filter in it & the over flow runs through a hose or tubing to the pond & not be seen. that will help with keeping the water in the pond warm in the winter cause I'll have a big enough submerged heater in the bog tank & it will keep the pond from freezing over & keep the pond warm for winter, pretty clever thinking. don't you think ? What made me think of something like that ? When I seen my clear see through tarp have moisture on the inside from the bog tank. So I've got some work to do to get this set up if I want to have it going by or B-4 winter sets in again, + I have some trees I want to get planted as well & get the awning over the front of the cabin to work under for other projects we haven't finished yet. 2700GPH Submersible Water Pump, 120W Water Pond Pump.
