Old Aquarium Water Garden

is is feasable to use an aquarium in the garden but no t in this instance i mentioned a better alternative standard aquarium glass would not be really suitable for garden use as there are temp fluctuations and also debris which could damage the glass you would need extra thick glass also with sunlight algae issues would be a pain

the hieght of the drop is the thing that needs to be worked out a regular pump will do but it will need a high lph rating youi will then need to construct the slope and the pond then purchases some plastic tubing that will fit the outlet of tyhe pump and lead this from the pump which will be placed in the pond to the head of the stream then disguise the piping and turn on the pump ensure that the pond can take the excess water that will be in circulation when the pump is turned off so that the pond doesnt overflow

there are many types of circumstance in which plants can be given the ideal conditions artificial lighting can be a big pluss for example lighting that has a 6500k spectrum will be more beneficiual to plants these are little tweaks which work but i doubt in the long term time saving and the effiecncy will be worthwhile coupled  with the extra expense
