There you go, another great idea. A sweatshirt can be washed and re-used.

These forums are terrific! I never knew that you could have such a setup to filter the water.

It makes me think more about a pond redesign (provided the budget can afford it!) to incorporate these ideas. Considering where our pond came from (literally a mud hole with goldfish that had been abandoned by the previous owners) - we've come a long way - but we still have issues to resolve. I guess we haven't done too bad for ourselves considering we had NO help along the way and we've been winging it!

Best fines filter that i know of is a Sand & Gravel filter... not as hard to build and not too expensive, for your size you can make 2 of them, maybe three and run them parallel, not in a series. I am just finishing up mine today. Very easy to build and from what ive read, best fines filtration without breaking the bank

I'm told it is also the hardest to clean and not recommended for Koi ponds.
