Dale, nice to see you posting. I agree, of course 200% with the sentiment and spirit of what you have said here. But I do have a word problem with the common statement we have all heard many times " You can never have too much filtration". So if I could use your post to make a point and maybe nit-pick a little?
You can only have as much active and functioning biological filtration as your fish can support. And you can only have as many fish as the parameters and dimensions of your closed system/physical pond can support.
I'm writing an article in the new KOI NATION magazine that touches on this point. It will appear in the first issue.
To be clear, I'm a fan of large filter systems but not a collection of random biological filter system strung together. The modern koi pond is a logical and synergistic system. one component is matched to the next so that the whole system makes sense. And it is all fed and limited by the biomass.
