jimg87 Enthusiast Posts: 175 Kudos: 431 Votes: 44 Registered: 15-Jul-2003	I think I am going to have to either buy a skimmer or vac for my 2000 gal pond. What do you think? should i go with the skimmer that is more $$ to prevent the crud from sinking to the bottom or go with the cheaper water vac that hooks up the the hose to siphon out all the junk thats already down there (there is alot!) Please help! Water quaility is very poor right now and its hard to see the fish. Thanks in advance! -jim

They are only about 8 bucks. I have a skimmer box setup on my pond and it still doesn't get all of the leaves etc. that fall into the pond so I got the net and scoop stuff out occasionally.
