Solar pond filter?

Hi all. I asked around at the other forums about a solar pond filter, and Christy reminded me that Kris had tried one.

Does anyone else have any experience with a solar filter?

I'm at the idea stage--I have a 50 gal. tub that I'll probably raise some rosy reds/fatheads in. I've never filtered it before, but it would be nice to have a solar powered device on it that filtered detritus and provided intermittent circulation, particularly, on sunny, hot days.

I used a cheap solar pump (not filter) from ebay in my pond. After going thru 2 in 3 years I switched to a standard mag pump. The circulation is way better, and it shows with less algae. Of course, I'm sure that there are better solar units than what I used.
