@Jersey_Marine I'm sorry I don't use YouTube
@Mmathis , Did you check the video of the pump running? I had two short videos, one without the pump and one with it running.

Maria, before I sent the friend request, I looked at one video -- I think with pump -- but never made it back to look at the other one. Will do that, though. Thanks!
Mmathis. Im not able to view the videos as I dont have FB. Can you give a review of the pump since I cant view the videos. I want to see if an external pump would be better than the LG submersible or vice versa..

I was skeptical that it would actually be powerful enough at three feet deep but I was impressed once I got it set up and running. If it continues to work without any trouble I will be very happy with it.

Giving it one more try. This is the video with the pump plugged in and running: https://fbcdn-video-i-a.akamaihd.ne..._=1441739340_a58449f91d07819c48a3abf89952793b

I can't find you on facebook! Boy, one thing after another! I wouldn't have bothered to chime in with another failure, hehe, but I really wanted to see those videos! Although I think I have decided what I'm going to do... I'm just gonna go with the hydrofarm pump (with 2 outlets, not 4) and a couple of those air stones you posted the link to... thanks!!
I have a pond that seems very similar to yours... it is about 500 gal with a waterfall feature and is mostly in the shade. I have 5 goldfish in it, some trapdoor snails and a bunch of plants. This will be my first winter with the pond and I've been going to bed lately with my gut churning out of worry for what to do to keep my little darlings comfortably alive through the winter. I'm sooooo glad to have stumbled across this thread!

I usedthe pond breathers last winter. The year before we had a brutally cold winter and that was the first and last time i will lave air stones runningin the winter. I lost more fish than I could bear to count. For 6 years before I just used a pump bubbling on the shelf to move the water and a home made floating heater which worked well.
