Bead filters

Love bead filters for their simplicity and ease of use. I plan on having two on the outdoor pond. Contemplating one for the skimmer circuit and one for the midwater pickup circuit. The bottom drains will each have Wave 36 vortex systems.

My comment is that while beads are great they are best used as part of a filter System and less as stand alone units that must do double duty as mechanical and biological units. I like them as mechanical units but like to keep the bio filtration seperate. Just a comment for your consideration.
