I think I'm starting to grasp the understanding and the concept of dealing with heavy solids and trying to isolate and dumping solids before entering the filtration system. Using a possible combination of a vortex and seive at bottom drains. However, in the midst of selecting a filtration system...I have noticed that Bead type Filters or pressurized systems has been openly trashed by the experienced hobbiest/breeders. What else is out there that I have not looked into. A filtration system that does not require physical back breaking cleaning of filter sponges, matting, brushes, media etc. etc. Is a UVC and the TT (if sized right) enough for polishing water to go back into the pond? I feel like something is missing...but of course...I KNOW NOTHING! Thanks again people for all your wisdom and patience with this anal newbie. Aloha.
