you've again mentioned one of the main downfalls of a block filter as I see it Gazza, which is that muck in a large settlement chamber is still in the pond system. if this is only flushed once a week or even less, then surely the water cannot be as clean as a vortex/easy/nexus system that is usually...

Good replies all, I know each individual usually swears by one type of filtration and as Andy says that is usually influenced by the dealer they use. On any forum though you will find many Nexus users, Bubblebead users, home made easys etc, however it only seems to be the one site that swears by blo...

I got a cheap 7000lph Hailiea pump fom Ebay to try on my QT. For £24 brand new I thought I may as wll give it a go, well it's sat on the QT floor, the spraybar on the TT is just over 6ft up and I have measured the outflow at over 5000lph, which I am very impressed with. The one downside is that i...

Made my own one of these this week, I had to start all over again with filtration etc after I removed the liner and glassed the pond earlier this year, so to all intents and purposes it's a new pond. I have been suffering badly with DOC, with huge amounts of foam, probably made worse by the 3000GPH ...

Hi, Thanks for the blue peter badge! Im really impressed with how it works-k1 is great stuff, the biological stage looks like its maturing nicely-turning a light tan colour and is slightly less bouyant! Gazza you were right its easy once you get going-want to make another one now! K1 gets blooming ...

Good stuff, i'm a little disadvantaged at the moment as I haven't got a growing on tank yet. I will have a brick shed with plenty of space in when I clean it out this week though! Looking forward to getting it done and getting some small fish from cuttlebrook, will give me something to do over the w...
