| for the number of fish you want to keep, that pond will be OK. The problem I see though is that you want to use a skippy. A skippy filter is usually pump fed. The pump sits in the bottom of the pond and pushes water to the filter, and it gravity flows back into the pond. The shell you are looking at has bottom drains. Bottom drains are fantastic, but work best when you can gravity feed a filter from them and pump back to the pond.
If you DO use the skippy, please don't buy into the crap that the skippy web site claims. They say you NEVER should clean your filter and all the fish poop turns into sand. that is just pure crap. Keep that filter clean. Install a clean-out drain and flush it out at least once a month. |
