Can someone list items needed, including make and model, of what I will need to set up a preformed pond outside. Filters, pumps, etc...

I have the pond... from Home Depot. Nothing else though...

It is time...

Thanks in advance.

How many gallons is the pond? Will this be in-ground or above-ground?

Was planning to sink it at least half way.

I guess the most important thing to consider is the location. I don't have specific pond equipment to recommend, though you do have a lot of good choices. Some people make their own too. If you think your pond will get a lot of sun, consider a filter that can use a UVC filter too. A half in-ground pool sounds pretty cool with a lot of options...

Hilarious... the pond is in ground and the turtle is funny as hell... she goes down deep and slooowly surfaces like a creature from the deep... just putting her in on warm days for now and only for a few hours while we are out there working etc. I am going to get one of the all in one filter, pump and uv sanitizers...

but tomorrow must build the fencing to keep her safe from raccoons.

This was taken 2 summers ago, but the only difference is lots more plants and a lil more water.

btw, the top folds over to cover the whole pond.
