The air pump you are showing will fail soon after you start it. I went through about 10 of them before I started to feel guilty about returning them to Walmart.

I bought the more expensive Tetra brand and they are working great.

What is that round thing in your photo?

I do have a Tetra Whisper 60 that I can use in place of the Walmart one. The Red round thing is a De-icer, it is going to be set in the pond just incase the aeration does not keep a whole open, it can be used as either a floating or submersible unit.
