Fontaine de jardin Choute

Love this fountain. It is perfect for my indoor water garden and will easily hold all seven plants I plan I putting in it, including a water lily. Very happy with my purchase.

I’m giving this product a very frustrated 4 star rating! None of the other reviews showed the product assembled so I wanted to wait until I could at least have it functioning. I’m trying to upload a video but it’s currently buffering over and over. At any rate, if you have no experience with Aquaponics, or aquariums, you will find this nearly impossible, because as with many pumps, they have included a pump tubing that is extremely inflexible. Once you get the top put on you would need to twist the pump into the tubing which is impossible because there is no room to twist the pump. This is functioning, at about half power because fortunately, the pump is sitting just below the uptake valve, and it’s powerful enough to shoot some of the water into the uptake and out of the fountain. I have ordered a clear flexible tube, to use instead with a clamp, which I’m sure will work quite well! I’m planning on eventually putting a few shrimp and some male endler fish in the bottom and I’m hoping I can raise an alocasia plant in the top. ( they, reportedly do well in Aquaponics, as they love a high humidity.) I used a dirt bottom and capped it with sand and I’m just seasoning the tank. It will function well once I get the new tubing. If I’m able to update later, I will. The design of this small system is pretty decent! I love the sound of the running water and I’m sure it will house the life I plan on putting inside. The pathos are just temporary until I have it cycled and seasoned. They will hopefully absorb the excess nutrients and can withstand ammonia which will occur during cycling. As I said the design is good, but the pump tubing is not, but purchasing a clear flexible tube, which only costs a few dollars will save you a ton of grief. Nice design. Nice look. Adequate housing for a few nano fish or shrimp.

Shipping was pretty quick, however, there was an adapter missing for the pump and a broken piece noted in the reservoir (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). Luckily, the latter didn’t affect the function. We were able to find a replacement adapter for the pump at Lowe’s and it is working great. We are keeping it indoors, as we will be putting plants in the top part eventually. It is not loud at all and is actually a soothing addition to a busy household!

Delivered very quickly! Packaged great with detailed instructions. I have not actually put it together yet because of where I live however the quality of the items is great. Wood boxes are super durable. I think I am going to love it.

Love it. Too cold to put in patio yet! It was easy to assemble. Comes with stones also. It has direction ls for several different uses. Even if ya want to put live fish in it. Great directions and love the look. Very solid.
