I am building a fish pond for an aquaponics system. My grow bed will be four feet above pond height. My pond three ft below ground. Will this work.

I believe you will not be satisfied with this pump in that application. It move a fairly high volume of water a low pressure on an almost level plane, such as from the bilge of a small boat. Pumping 7 feet elevation will really tax its capacity.

I don't recall the duty cycle of this pump BUT this is only a 12vdc pump. This is a well designed and built pump for a specific role as a bilge pump where it will run only intermittently. I will assume you will need a different style pump for your needs.

I have mine in a bird bath and it works great!!! but I don't think this I big enough to work in a bigger pond

It should. Depth is at the limit I would say. I have a 360 Gallon Tank, it is 36" deep, and two of them would NOT work for that tank....IMO you are on the edge. Crypts/Anubias/Stems that grow tall - definitely. Dwarf Sag would grow, but happy? Not sure. Sorry if this leaves you still wondering - but I would be wrong to say most def....maybe someone who has it in similar depth could offer more firm answer. I have a 70 Show - same depth, but less W and it would have worked (decommissioned tank for other reasons).

There's no telling, as these plants are so small! As small as a baby's pinky nailbed! That said, my pond is about 8 x 6 and the plants covered about 1/3 of it. They also grow quite fast, unless your fish love them as much as mine do! :)

It just needs to float in the fish pond. I have a large pond and they worked great for me.

It's at least as high above the ground as the thickness of the top, which is tubular and about one 1/2 inches or more in diameter. the rest of it can be below ground but some usually sticks above. Depends on how you " plant" it.

yes. buttttttt. i would not recommend this product. it didn't catch as much debris as i wanted even though it was rated for a large pond. it also came loose and i lost all of my pond water:( rating scale 1-5.....a "0"

If you use the big chunky perlite it will work great. Btw, by itself perlite is considered a hydroponic substrate. One Ive had good success with

YES. First ones I bought I bought 4 to make 2 beds 12" or so tall. They work well. We just bought two more and are thinking about two beds but just 6" tall, as with some plants you don't need that deep plus you can dig out the ground below and go as deep as you like. Easy to put together and use

It should. I was using it on an fluval edge 6g and it was adequate to grow all my macroalgaes. Can probably grow med light plants.

I have no ideal. I purchased, installed lines to multiple 6 inch stones in outdoor KOI pond. 1200 gal pond It makes air and makes fish happy. Other than that I couldn't tell you. It does work and blows air

36" or some plants will not grow well and the tank will be unevenly lit. You always want it pretty close to the tank length if you are using plants with your fish. My tanks have plants everywhere because I give them light and it not even very bright either.

It depends on what type of plant tank you have should work fine since it's feet are adjustable. my tank which already has a cover works fine on top of this. Not sure if I would recommend it if you plan to leave it flush on top of the tank with no cover. works fine if you leave it above the tank with the feet/stands on the tank sides in which stands about 4-5" above the top.

Not sure. My plants are beautiful 4 to 8 foot indoors in a standard 11x12 bedroom and I use it every day. I am on community well water with a PH of 8 and bring it between 5 to 6 depending on the strain. I use 10 and 15 gallon smart pots with promix, organic fertilizers at less than 1/2 manufactures recommended level. Good air movement and the most important ingredient "light" and never forget love. This has worked well for me but every location is different from the water to the temperature and humidity everything can make a difference. I use to use for Hydro, had outstanding results but have given hydro up in old age. Not sure. My plants are beautiful 4 to 8 foot indoors in a standard 11x12 bedroom and I use it every day.

I don't see why not, but I didn't have much success with mine trying to grow in the ground. Good luck.

No, I have two of these over my Koi pond and the plants are bigger and thicker than ever. My koi are protected from flying prey and it keeps the sun off our studio in the mornings. All plants are thriving. We have ours at about the 10' height.

If the debris is not too big, it would. I think it needs the water deep to create the suction. At least 2 ft deep. The pond I use it in is 2 to 3 ft deep.
