QuestionI would like to set up a small backyard fish pond to accommodate 3-4 goldfish. I would like to use solar powered products only. Is there a kit that comes complete or do I need to piece together the products? I have no experience. Thanks!!
AnswerI've never seen a solar pump with a kit. If it were, it would probably be overpriced. I suggest getting the liner or pre-formed pond separately from the pump. I've had a few solar pumps. Take note that they don't move water when it's cloudy or at night which is when fish need it the most. Mine also clogged a lot. For a few goldfish, I suggest at least a 100 gallon pond and an electric pump if you can get electricity out there. Goldfish can grow more than a foot long easily. If you want a smaller pond, I suggest smaller fish, like rosy red minnows.
My web site at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/pond.htm has lots of pond information to get you started.
Good luck!
