Powering a fountain/filter for a container water garden?
This is my first time trying something like this. I’m making a 30 gallon half-barrel water garden with 2-3 goldfish, some aquatic snails, and appropriate flora (hyacinth, anacharis, parrot’s feather…). I would like a fountain and filter, but the closest electrical outlet is 50 ft away. I am trying to avoid the hassle of installing UF cable, and have considered as an alternative this solar fountain:
http://www.siliconsolar.com/shop/catalog/Night–Day-Solar-Fountain-Pump-Kit-p-2.html
I can’t tell if the fountain pump is also a filter, and it won’t be running 24/7. I’ve been reading but haven’t been able to determine what degree of filtration is recommended for a container garden with fish. At least it will keep the water from getting stagnant, which may discourage algae growth, and it will help to oxygenate the water. If I were to couple the solar fountain with weekly 20% water changes, would this be sufficient to deter algae growth and keep ammonia/nitrite levels down?
from my experience one has to have a pump going 24/7. this keeps the water flowing and if the pump has a built in filter it also keeps the water clean. occasionally you may have to change the water as depending on how much sun your container pond gets it will have some degree of green water which is algae. the snails help to keep the algae that grows on the bottom and sides of your container cleaner,but a good filter is a definite plus. check with your local Earl May or where ever you are getting the container pond from. Sometimes less is better when it comes to small container ponds as you are wanting to do.
