Habitat - Outdoor :: My pond needs a new filter

[jawsspeedymrt]

After having my turtles living on our back porch for two years now, my current filter system is becoming increasingly insufficient. It's a 100 gallon pond with a Magnum 350 acting as a pump for a make-shift filter I built myself a few moths ago. But it frequently leaks and doesn't do a very good job keeping the water clean for my two RES. So, any suggestions on a new system? Thanks!

Well I use a 5 gallon bucket and a 600 GPH pump for my 125G. Wee simply drilled a whole in the top of the bucket and an output. Inside the filter is 3 layers of Foam, one carbon, and some Bio Balls.

Thanks sfmmfreak. But I went ahead and ordered a fluval FX5. It should be here sometime this week.

Watch out, the FX5 is not a pond filter. All the plugs are for inside use and not as water proof.
