I recall a couple year ago, I was told the nexus filters arnt comparable to standard chamber filter...? Not as effective?
I would think two bottom drains would be more appropriate for the size of the pond - as although i indicate 4000g i will hopefully beable to go bigger... but working on the premise of 16' x 8' surface area.
Skimmer - i was undecided on, it seems it will be useful - but unsure how to build this into my pond as it will be block built. I have someone do two feeds from the skimmer, one going through to the filter, the other going to a water fall/feature, with valvles on both pipes so you can control where you want it to pump the water...
I want an effective filter without spending big bucks...
What size UV would be recommended? and what size heater? I have heard talk of 1000g to 1kw, would i be better opting for a 6kw which should more than excees req's?
