Message: [QUOTE="Troutredds, post: 189401, member: 5853"] Harry: I am refering to a horzontally fed skimmer box, not a gravity fed box or tank. The higher flow rate is required to draw sediment (particularly fish waste) into the box. Please refer to the Russell Watergardens and Koi website with the link below. They have products called Hydroclean skimmers or hydroclean sieves that may give you a better idea of the concept. All your other assumptions regarding my suggestion are correct. For what it's worth, I also like the sound of your trickle tower, gravity-fed sediment collecting tank. You could even incorporate both ideas: a skimmer box to filter larger, heavier debris AND a sedimentation tank beside the bog to collect fine sediment (packed with gravel and a layer of poly fiber or mesh).
