What kind of pump/filter do I need?
+3
I have installed a pond as a water feature only. I do not plan on introducing fish, but I will possibly add water plants of some kind. It is approx 164 gallons. I need it to be solar powered as it is not close to an electrical outlet. Any idea what kind of pump/filter I would need? There are so many choices! I'm really just looking for a way to have a water feature without creating a breeding pool for Mosquitos. Any ideas?
Large Fish Tank pump. Remove in the winter if you freeze, but you can put carp/goldfish in with your water lilies. The fish feed off the the roots of the lily. A great symbiotic relationship....
A webpage called janets next deal, or next deal has the perfect solar powered fountain.
Jennifer from next deal has solar water fountain

Use mosquito dunk tablets. It can be purchased at any pawn supply place.
