Also, can it be hooked up after an Ultima II? If the flow rate is too high, can a side stream be taken from the Ultima II discharge for the device, the rest of the filtered discharge going straight to the pond?
I put in a side stream and in it I have bareroot grasses which is run from my skimmer . I found by doing this I do not need a fractionator . I wonder if we spent more money on exchange of water if it would not be better for fish . The best filtration practiced for thousands of years fish keeping is flow through . Of course most do not have the water to do so hence more and more gadgets more cost and maintanance . All because our state of the art ponds are not really suitable for keeping fish in . Koi need at least a few inches of mud to siphen through at least part of the year . That is why they were born with wiskers and they put them out into mud ponds for the summer in Japan to recover mostly .
So in my opinion at least give the poor things a little more exchange of water instead of perfect expensive clarity which they do not appreciate .
As I see it
