This would be a simple, low budget ( relatively speaking to a bead filter) compact addition. I use one on the small goldfish pond and it's performance has been outstanding. It's by far the easiest filter I've ever had to maintain. As a supplemental option it should be a good choice that wouldn't necessarily cause a big problem in sighting it. Mine is buried to the lid in the ground inside a nursery bucket with the bottom of the bucket cut out. That keeps the sides of the hole from collapsing, especially over the winter. In the winter I put a flat rock over the hole. I've done it for about 6 yrs. now. Also the replacement UV lamp ( every other year) doesn't require a second mortgage on the house to finance. It's the only filtration I have on the goldfish pond. I had to oversize the filter to allow it take the pressure from a pump strong enough to give a good flow over the waterfall because I have a lot of head, or lift as some call, it up to the waterfall. Works beautifully.

Fishmate 2000 or 3000 with UV
