Pond filter for a 135g?

If you aim the nozzle correctly, you can probably get close to observing an indoor waterspout! :D

From reading the product details, you have over 10 times the filtration... There would be way too much water pressure coming from this product.
 
Pressure filters are run with a separate pump. So add some $$ to that. In the pond you'd have a submersed pump, ideally one capable of handling some small solids, then pipe to the pressure filter above ground, returning by gravity to the pond.

In the fish tank, you fall by gravity to the filter, clean the water of solids, then pump back to the tank above.

Not the same thing.

For a fish tank, I'd get a wet/dry. For a planted tank, I'd get two big canisters, classic Eheims most likely.

Yeah, i was thinking the pressure would be too much.

Ah, i see... its clearly meant for a pond and wouldn't suit a tank.
Also, i was thinking it would be loud as shibby. I've never heard one run before, but i'd assume since its meant to run outdoors that they don't try too hard to make it as silent. The 135g would be in my room, so silence is key.
Thanks for the replies.
