I'm so glad I found you all! I'm about to get my first little pond up and running. I was thinking about a pressurized w/uv filter but then I read some posts on here that DOC's were much better/easier/more reliable. I researched how to build one and found Skippy's site. Looks like something I could do. I just have questions about how do you keep it from freezing in the winter? Also, I'm not sure I quite understand the way it works. Does the water flow into the top, through filter material, and out the hose at the bottom of container?
Or would the small pressurized filter be enough for my tiny pond?
I will have a few plants and hope to add some fish next spring. Thinking I'll start cheap with some plain old goldfish until I know I'm not going to kill them. :\
Thanks for your help!
