Hi...I am about to start constructing my "Skippy" filter and need to know...what size pump should I be using for an 850 gallon pond? My fish are tiny, but of course grow fast. 2 Koi, 2 Fantails. Thanks!

go for at least your pond size,,search for low wattage.

For my 750 gallon pond which is now 1300 gallons, I use a Beckett W1150 and a Harbor Freight 3200 GPH pump for circulation.

My water is so clear, you might think it came from bottled water.

Circulation and a good bio filter is the key to success.
