Small/Quarinteen Pond

Hello! I decided that I want to move my fish out of doors in the spring (i'm sure they will like it better) and i need to have a smaller pond That I can keep them in untill i finish the larger permanant pond...

I'm thinking a 5x3x2... It might be a tich large (my fish are only fingerlings now, and I have one 5 incher)... and once my fish go in the main pond, I'll use it as a quarintene pond...

anywho... What could I use for a pump? I really want it to be as "cost effective" as possible, and will probably be "DIY" ing it for most of the stuff (such as filters.. as soon as I find something that is cylindrical, like a decent sized water jug at walmart or something, I'll just buy 3 or so and make a set of filters) the pond will be gravity fed, and will probably not have a waterfall or fountan, unless such options become cheap....'

so,

Tips on an economical pump i could pick up somewhere? it doesnt even have to be a "Koi pond" filter or anything...

If you could help it would be awesome!
Tanks!

I found this... which I think will be able to turn over the water quick enough... tell me what you think:
