garden ponds

The_White_Horse

I have a very small pond in my front garden - approximately 1m by 0.5m ish. It has 4 goldfish in it.

I want to get a little filter, pump, light etc - the only thing I can find that combines everything is the Blagdon 4 in 1.

Does anyone know if this is any good or if there are other alternatives?

Many thanks

Do you have an aquatics store near you - possibly part of a garden centre. I would think they would be able to advise.

I started with a small pond and it grow and grow and grow
and each time it grow I had to buy a bigger pump & filter setup
in the end I got a really big filter and pump from ebay
just have a think in case you do the same as me

I don't have any experience of this particular pump but what I will say is that with a pond that small when the fountain is working if it is windy the water could be blown away from the pond and over time it will empty. I have a pond with a separate pump and filter which refills the pond via a waterfall and the filter elements do need cleaning every now and again so I wonder if a small device like this would block up easier.

thanks all. i have decided that the blagdon all in 1 is possibly too big for the pond. I think I may need just a small pump with fountain for oxygenation and a couple of small lights. They are very expensive these lights.
