Questions please...... Why do you need 2 UV's for an indoor pond? and depending on your location on earth, I think you should be thinking more along the lines of a chiller/heater or you may end up with cooked fish in the summer time. But I just don't understand the need for UV's in an indoor pond unless theres a skylight over the pond.
If the location is correct, about 100 miles east of meTequila;2986685; said:Questions please......

Its not that i need the Uv filters , its just that what i have had a look at on the internet and that they are cheap , nothing is final , i might not get the Uv's its just what i have been looking at to get an idea of prices . I have not gone out and bought anything yet , i am just looking at prices . I have also so said that that i might do just one large DIY filter ( out of a Water Butt ) instaed of buying the two Uv filters which will mostly likely not have any Uv part on it .
About the heater that i have seen which is a 1K Watt pond heater - i would like to have a exturnal heater and the only one i have seen is the 1K Watt pond heater , but i have not had another look on the internet for them so when it is time to buy the heater i will firstly have a nother look before buying the 1K ' heater and have a see if they is anything cheaper and that is more sutible of the size of pond i am currently building .
If i go down the route of making a DIY filter i might look at the option of buying a couple of inturnal tank heater and placing them into the filter .
i am only at the stage of making the the frame of the pond right now and i am still looking , researching the parts i need ,
things like the Pumps , Heater's , Size and thinkness of linner , Ect . . .
