what to use as filter material!
I have a 1000 gal. pond with 2 filters.One is a bio filter and works great.
I use furnace material and such in the other to keep the water clear. Is there any thing else I could use instead of furnace mat. in my filter, it seems to clog up very fast and I don't know how good it is. Thanks JIM |

Thanks JIM I use vinyl screening (bug screening) in my pre-filter. ~ jan ----------------- Also ponding troll free at: http://groups.google.com/group/The-Freshwater-Aquarium |

The filter is working great. On a lighter note, you could construst a pre-filter with the screen in front of the present filter to catch the larger debris. |
