well its not mine.a buddy had me fix it up for him. :D
he dropped off a bare prefab pond.
i added netting,pump,and filter.
i add the pvc inside the pvc so if the media clogs it will still flow.
added the arrows so when he cleans it it goes back together right.lol
media is a bunch of scrubbies and a bunch of filter fiber stuff.
still have to trim the netting and wire hangers.
and i used the black parts cus they looked like they would flow better then anything else.
not a big project but might give someone some ideas. :)

:clap:clap:clap Nice job.

I like the hanger addition.

Is the center bypass connected with a 45* elbow inside the big 45* elbow?

Black parts from lawn sprinkler section of your garage (HD)?

Gonna paint the filter black to match pond?

Are you stocking it for him? :D

bypass is not connected.would be hard to connect.the small pvc is glued in the big pvc.
black parts are sprinkler parts,but from lowes not hd :D
was going to paint it but when cleaning it the paint would get scratched off.
not stocking,he has an oscar in a 20g that is going in this.
:D

Did you cycle it for them?

Just remembered a trick for those high tech net fasteners, soak them in black RIT dye so they don't stand out (I thru several packages in an old bucket for 2 days, stirred it when I saw it & it worked fairly well).

Again, Nice Job :headbang2
