Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi all
Hope everyone is okay
just sold my nexus of my skimmer and want another filter to go in its place.was thinking of sieve and Bakki.
Pond is 4700g have a nexus 200 on bottom drain was thinking of moving nex of drain and putting it on the skimmer and putting the other onto my bottom drain.
Or would a sieve and bead be better.
Cheers

Hi Shamus, sorry for the late reply.
I agree with your choice of bottom drain to the the bakki filter and the nexsus on the skimmer. The reason is that you want a high level flow in the bakki shower and that will not be possible on the skimmer unless it happens to be a couple of feet wide of course. Bead filters? I hate em! They need huge powerful pumps and at the end of the day are nothing more than crap traps. IF I was forced to use a bead filter the first thing I would do would be toss out the beads and replace them with kaldness. This would effectively turn the bead filter into a static kaldness filter. This would allow you to use a less powerful pump as well. In such a case I would however then put the bead filter on the skimmer and the nexus on the bottom drain.
