| CBRS2K, as a newbie you do the right thing to do extensive research before actual building your pond project.
The best filtration follows ONE simple rule: the seperation of mechanical and biological filtration. Bead filters violate this rule so its role should be reduced to zero or polishing water only.
If you are short of X and Y dimensions for filtration, why don't you create some Z dimension (ie. height) for a change? How about above ground/water level bio tank that hides behind a waterfall? TT (trickle tower) can also be located at some hidden corner?
The Pond Sieve can replace a bulky settling tank for mechanical. To know more about this screen mech. filter, type the name @ Google. There are several dealers carry this product. MA.Le
ps. what city are you in? |
