Good idea! It's great to see there's more than one Redneck around here besides me I use whatever I have around, so if that works well , it'll be on my mind next time I see one of those flowerpots in the thrift store

I was gonna add the terracotta planter anyways to give the beneficial bacteria more surface to grow on. I was getting dead minnows stuck to my pump, so it had to be done..
I also cut my own filter media for my aquarium, so I have lots of scraps. Seems to work well.
This whole project is mostly born upon stuff I had laying around, and the odd run to Home Depot and WallyWorld.

Hi Evan, I like your idea.
I already have my pump sitting in a plastic 'pond plant' basket....the kind with slots. I don't have any fish yet, but I do get an ocassionally leaf stuck to the intake. So, I'll add some filter medium to it also.

Made some changes, I added a small rock to the top of the filter pad to keep it from floating away. I was also worried that minnows might get sucked up through the hole in the bottom so I placed an identical filter pad in the bottom of the flower pot.
