Message: [QUOTE="Donna F, post: 496353, member: 10283"] You sure do make the bog sound easy. And your pictures are beautiful and inspirational. I definitely need to take time to read the information and learn. The pipes clogging is a big concern. That is a constant battle with my skimmer. I have a lot of leaves and acorns are a huge problem. My filter is similar to this. It's over 10 years old. I bought it after several failed attempts at a DIY filter.

It's inside the box/bench that is visible in some of the pics. The filters are not the original. I just bought random koi pond filter material and cut it to fit. There are 3 layers of different density. The UV light kept shorting out, so I long ago stopped using it and got this.

I just need to decide on the best move to make and go for it. It's not the first time I've felt overwhelmed by this ongoing project of mine. I'll figure it out. [/QUOTE]
