Hi
New to this forum so be patient!
Main pond has bottom drain to Nexus 300 fed back through a venturi and a set of showers with BHM medium.
2 x Skimmers back to a EA Pod fed back by waterfall.
110w UV
Loads of air!
Growing on tanks are again through home made showers with BHM after venturi and UV.
Not sure if I can send a pic yet?

Brilliant Pete and welcome,
How do you find the showers in the wintry weather are they enclosed at all.

You certainly won't regret the Nexus G - best investment I made - obviously if space wasn't at a premium I would go for block built filters but nexus is absolutely perfect for my needs - brilliant performance!
