Help! Ready for an upgrade! Currently have a little giant 2000, pond has 3200 gallons, advantage es3500 and 7 koi all 2 years old! Water upflows through 18" mixed gravel before entering pond. Looking to future proof as these kids grow up!
Looking to gain some more particulate and clarity and boost bio for the future.
Narrowed down to 2. Please offer guidance and support!
-The Aquadyne 4000 Filter, Includes DynaMax Blower (MPN AD4000)
Route the outputs from the skimmer and bottom drain to a Ultraisieve III. Pump the sieve output to the bead filter, to UV (as needed) and return. Naturally the bottom drain should have an aerated dome.
I do have an airated dome koi toilet. That's not a bad idea! I am thinking to much about bio at the moment! Anywhere I can come in under $1250 for an evolution aqua?
The Midisieve has a single 4" input and is designed for 3500gph flow. So you would have to combine the BD and skimmer into a single 4" port to feed the sieve. If it is designed and made as well as the Ultrasieve III, it is a good bit of kit. I had two Cetus sieves years ago and replaced them with UltraSieve III units.
