check out the diy section for filters you can make pretty cheaply and they work very well. fishin's doc's skippy type.

look at craigs ads for people that are dumping their ponds and equipment one way to save a lot of money.

Not sure where you are at, makes a difference on the size, deepness etc the pond needs to be for the fish.

You came to the right place, we are quite frugal here and love to make our own stuff for the pond and always looking for a bargain. Keep reading and asking us Q.A's and you will be one of the squeakiest ponders around town :lol:
