Solar Pond Filter, the New Favorite of Aquarium Enthusiasts

In the vast world of aquarium hobbies, every new discovery and attempt is exciting. Today, let us follow the blogger's footsteps and explore the surprises brought by a solar pond filter.

An Enviable Aquarium World

The blogger "Ha Y N Fish Keeper" has an enviable aquarium world. His 8500g koi pond Tikki Falls is like a fairyland in the water, where Japanese koi swim leisurely and gracefully. The plants by the pond also add vitality to the surroundings. In particular, the tarot plant unexpectedly bloomed bright yellow flowers. This surprised the blogger. I thought it was the leaves withering, but I found it was a flower when I looked closer. This unexpected surprise also made us feel the wonder of the pond ecology. In terms of the maintenance of pond plants, the blogger also has rich experience. He mentioned that plants like tropical cannas need to be pruned regularly. This helps prevent them from overgrowing and taking up too much pond space.

The Mini DIY Pond: Oranda Lagoon

In addition to the big pond, the blogger also has a mini DIY pond with about 70 gallons of water. It is called Oranda Lagoon. Beautiful tiger-headed goldfish and cute little sturgeons live there. To maintain a healthy pond environment, the blogger placed floating plants like water hyacinth in the water. These plants not only help filter the water by absorbing nutrients from fish waste, but also grow naturally in the pond. At the same time, they provide shade, making the fish feel safer and more comfortable. At the same time, the blogger also uses a CJ filter pond system that integrates multiple functions in one. It combines mechanical filtration, biological filtration, and ultraviolet sterilization. This effectively removes impurities and harmful bacteria, keeping the water clear and transparent. However, it also has a small drawback: it requires electricity. As a result, the blogger has to use a long 150-foot extension cord to power it.

The Quest for Energy Efficiency

The high electricity bill made the blogger start to think, is there a more energy-saving filtering method? So he contacted Poposoap and asked if there was a solar-powered pond filtration. Fortunately, Poposoap really has such a product and sent a set to the blogger.

Unboxing the Solar Pond Filter Kit

After receiving the product, the blogger couldn't wait to unbox it and show it. This solar pump filter kit includes a filter box and both mechanical and biological filter media. It also comes with water pipes, installation accessories, a water pump, and a large solar panel. During the installation process, the blogger explained each step in detail. He suggested installing the mounting bracket of the solar panel first. Then, slide the solar panel in and fixing it, which is more convenient to operate. There are two types of sponges in the filter box, coarse and fine, which filter out large impurity particles. The water pump has a suction cup. This helps it stay in place in the filter box. The blogger also added nitrification filter media. These include mountain tree rings and lotus root rings. This improves the filtration effect even more. This further enhanced the overall filtration effect.

Putting the Filter to Work

After everything was prepared, the blogger gently lowered the filter box into the center of the Oranda Lagoon pond. Once it was fully settled, he plugged in the power supply. Under the sunlight, the filter quickly started to work, forming beautiful bubbles. The blogger tried different fountain nozzles and could also control the water flow through the valve. He found that at maximum flow, it effectively oxygenated the pond without disturbing the ornamental fish, delivering excellent results.

A Good Choice for Aquarium Enthusiasts

This solar pond filter is not only easy to install and use, but also saves electricity bills. It is undoubtedly a good choice for aquarium enthusiasts.
