well you all have seen my filter it is a little big but when i do the bigger pond it should be good for the 10 -12000 gallon that im hopingfor but that wont be for a few years yet

my filter is a 14 ft multi bay and holds about 800 gallon

bay 1 settlement with 18 black night brushes

bay 2 jools eazy but in a washing machine drum

bay 3 fluidized k1 using a aco 730

bay 4 agragrog (but will change to k1 next year

bay 5 black jap matt cartridge

i allso have another 70 litres of air in pond

and 30 watt uv which needs to be bigger

all run from 2x 11000 lph  eagle aquatic pumps (great for the money)

We've acquired some lava rock that was recommended for one of the filter bays - what is anyone's experience of this? Worth replacing the media with it?

lava rock or (alfaGROG) is all i used for a long time pip its exellent at retaining and growin bacteria
probably better than anything else the surface area is massive!!
BUT...its also great at collecting what ever else is floating around and gets dirty really quickly
i found myself cleaning it out on a much to often basis so i changed,ill give ya 3 or 4 bags o the stuff if ya want it!!.lol
it must be kept in cleaned filtered water m8 or it clogs up really fast!!


its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog!!!
