MikeM is correct. You can never over filtrate and the best setups are those that combine differant filter methods. I do feel if you want to save a few dollars and want to install a bakki shower you may investigate the plastic trays from US Plastics or mike trays or any container that allows air flow and flow through filtration. You work within you budget, if you can afford the Bakki House media you can not go wrong IMO. The advantage of a Bakki shower as MikeM said is CO2 exchange and with high flow very low maintenance. I use a BS/BH media with a bead filter to pollish the water on a 8,300 gallon setup for ten koi (20 to 30 inches) without any problems.
