@nhowland52 sounds like your media is too 'tight'... you might want to switch to a coarser media.

I'm interested in making a filter for a small (180 gallons) pound. Any suggestions?

@klmsolutions Wise answer! Thank you very much man! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Namaste

@enticed2zeitgeist - I honestly haven't found them to be a problem and this type of filter has been in use for some years now. As I said their just commercial floor scrubby pads (and I normally suggest people search online for these and see what they can find. You can probably ask the manufacturer of your concerns and they would be the best resource. If in doubt or your uncomfortable with such things, then use pond filter pads in place of them. In the end, that's probably your best bet.

@klmsolutions I get that they are just scrubby pads with out any soap added into them and such, but it's not safe to just add "dry" plastic objects into water is it? I know the recycle number associated with various plastics declares it's usage. From my research it is not safe to just add random plastic objects into water assuming that because it's plastic it's safe. If you aren't aware of what kind of plastic those scrubby pads are made of how can you be sure they don't leech into the water?

@enticed2zeitgeist - those are just floor scrubby pads, no additives or anything. You could also simply cut up a standard filter pad (medium porous) that you would normally put in a pond filter. Just cut those up into blocks and put them loosely in the tub. I think that would work fine too.
-
What are those floor sponges made out of? Does it leech anything into the water? I was thinking about using that sponge stuff for an aquaponic filter but I'm concerned about leeching.

Great job with the video and parts list and the very benficial commentary. So many bad ones out there, wanted to make sure you got some credit. Derrick

@BigBoyLies - Usually no...the skippy filter will work fine all on it's own.

Simple/dumb question here. Does the stock tank come with a lid? Or are these filters simply exposed on the top. Thanks.

@Soper79 - normally no they don't. But you can cover them with plywood or something like that just to keep stuff from falling in. Usually people put rocks, plants, or various other concealers on and around the tub to hide it better.
