I went out shopping today to get stuff for my biofilter and pond
didnt get everything i needed becouse im a good shopper and
had to come home to check ebay for prices .. LOL
Stoped at 2 pool and spa stores asking about old pool liners
and my timing was perfect, both are doing pools and i have to
go back tomarrow and might have a 24 foot pool liner to play with
maybe 2 of them ..

Well, I got me a container to build the filter and some PVC fittings
and pipe.

Here is what i got,

2 , 20 gallon utility tubs (just using one for now) ... 6 bucks each @ General Dollar Store
1 fiberglass Shower drain , Hardware Store (do it best) , 7 bucks
2 inch pvc pipe 3 foot
3/4 inch pvc pipe 5 foot
3 3/4 pvc elbows.

Things i might go back for unless i find them in the shed,
3/4 inch ball valve and 3/4 inch union (makes things so they come apart easy)

Still have to get the media and skippys bacteria stuff.

my pond is only going to be around 5 x 10 or 8 x 10 and max 2 foot deep
in one end. Im going to try to just build up the ground with topsoil and not
do any digging, huge maple tree in the area and my huge rhody plant.
so the ground will be roots city.
