Filter Idea

[koiguy1969]

try to make sure not to leave gaps around the edge. water travels the path of least resistance. you dont want too much it just bypassing the media and carrying particulants up and back to the pond..scrubbing pads could be spread out and solve that problem. but overall looks good!

the upper T pipe is a great place to add things like beneficial bacteria so it flows up into the media first where it should be. a "miniskippy"

is that a barrel type prefilter, maybe a small tetrapond? i remove the insides of my prefilters when they are in the outside pond but use them inside.
