Well my planned DIY is going to been a in pond filter with a strong cheap powerhead on one end sucking water through a small to medium rubbermade with lava rock as the biomedia.

How does that sound?

I know it will work but now i just got to find the powerhead that will fit the needs i need.

Well i am looking at the Tom Aquatics Dive Power 125 and The Tom Aquatics Dive Power 200, Tomorrow i am going to call around to see if i can find those or one that about the same price and has 120 or more GPH.

Well i have 6 powerheads i can choose from which have over 250gph and The prices are under $30

Which one of these do you guys think would be able to suck or push the water through my filter best?

Taam Rio Plus 1100 Pump & Powerhead
SEN 300
PENGUIN 1140 POWER HEAD
CAP 1200: (550 GPH)
EcoPlus 396
maxi-jet 1200

I probably will be getting the PENGUIN 1140 POWER HEAD. It has 300gph and the price is good also.
