We've been doing some upgrading on ours to accommodate the enlarged pond and higher fish population, so our original setup is less accurate these days.
We have added 2 vortex (1 for bottom drain, 1 for skimmer circuit), the main waterfall is now being converted to 2 diy moving beds (55gallon drums) and the trashcan shower towers are now replaced with bakki showers filled with a combination of Lithaqua and Lava Rock. I plan to replace the lava rock with feather rock at the first opportunity.
I have become a devote' of Bakki showers, but I just can't make myself pay the BH price tag. We've had outstanding results using a smallish bakki for our outside qt, temp pond (pool), and hatchery tanks. Water quality couldn't be better. Even when spawning in a 600 gallon hard-side tank the mini-bakki restores the water quality within less than 24 hrs of a spawn.
