| What is your perfect Filtration System?
Interested in everyones opinion. I'm having a really hard time finalizing a water purification system for my pond (approx. 10K gal.) Everyone has been so helpful from all my previous posts, I just want to try and pinpoint my(and yours) ideas and really start getting the ball rolling. My first hurdle (wife approval) hahaha.. is checked off my list, now its a matter of fitting all the pieces together.
Looking at a setup to accommodate a rectangular shaped pond 10'x30'(10K gal) with a 800-1000 gal. Q-Tank separated by the pond filtration area 8'x12' (or more available).
I'm thinking of first using a vortex chamber (size?) for solids separation from bottom drains (3). Then pumping water from vortex through a sieve and then to the bead filtration system (Is this right? overkill?) To polish the water, I want to use a trickle tower (size?) and want to know if a UVC would still be required? Right now I'm planning to have the Q-tank on a separate bead-system and also thinking of using a small TT for the increased oxygen supplied for a Q-Tank. Is this beneficial for fish healing and or stress levels?
I know there is a lot more stuff to consider...just would like to know what system(s) are working for other hobbiest. It would be good to know that I'm at least in the ballpark. Thanks all. Aloha!
