      Thank you members, it took three years to get to this point from just an ok filtration system that cost almost as much as the system I have now. The old filtration took me hours to clean the media and the media was just all hype and never performed. Time will tell if I will have problems with my two new RFDs but so far the maintenance has been ZERO besides water changes and dumping the solid waste from the waste barrel.

      Nice set up Tom!
      Lam, I got crazy and bought two Eco 65/40 Profidrums but one could have been ok too for my 12,000 gallon pond because each unit is rated for 13,000GPH. Here is a quick comparison of costs of different mechanical system to achieve a same goal then make your own conclusion. I know the main reason for me to get the Profidrum RDfs because I got tired of clean the filter every couple days. After a long day at work I now enjoy my pond doing this

      Eco 60/40 Profidrum----$5,000 vs
      (2 Cetus x $1,200) + Advantage 15 bead x $3,000=$5,400 vs
      (Ultra sieve x $1,700) + Advantage 15 bead x $3,000=$4,700 vs
      Sieves + Birdman's S&G filter
