Yet Another Pump

I bought another pump yesterday. The pump I had just wasn't right for this application. This pump is actually a pond pump that is designed to clean ponds. I ran a 1/2" hose from the pump to a solid filter. This should solve my fish poop problem. It runs all the time. I've considered putting a time clock on it, but I'll decide that later. It all depends on what it takes to keep the tank clean.

By removing the old pump I also removed my water leak. I discovered I didn't have one of the fittings tight enough. It was leaking just a few drops at a time, but it doesn't take long to add up. I've gone through and tightened all fittings so I don't have the same problem anywhere else.

I've started thinning the spinach I planted a few weeks ago. I'm leaving them in the container for now, and hopefully the system will be ready when it's time to transplant. I did pull out one spinach plant with a good root system and planted it in the gravel. I didn't see any harm and if it doesn't grow, well, I was gonna throw it on the compost pile anyway.

Pump $45.00
1/2" line $6.50

  1. We seem to be following similar paths! I checked my water yesterday on my new, big, system and the nitrites were way too high so I ran out and bought a 300 gallon aquarium filter. That'll keep the fish happy until I can finish setting up the growbed (hopefully this weekend or next). It's frightening how quickly those little fish can pollute their world... and how slowly I can get things built. :-)

    Glad to hear you found your water leak.
