| Koiczar, thanks, I agree that for the short term I am going to go with the Matala matting. If solids are still getting through, then I can dump some money into a Micro Strainer.
As for the pump, I am going to with a single, but rather powerful pump. I am using a Evolution ESSB10,500 pump, with 3" inlet and outlet. This pump is rated @ 10,500 gallons @ 5 Feet. It is a little overkill, but this is a pump that I've had for my pond since June. So instead of throwing it away, I thought I would use it.
Long term I plan to break out the skimmers and plumb them into a smaller pump and run a second circuit. |
