Aquarium Advice Regular
Does anyone in here use this filter? I'm thinking of getting this one for my pond but heard a lady at the store said it's really bad. I wonder what is your opinion if you have it. TIA guys.
This is definetly a common misconception. The company sets a certain GPH for their filter because filters can only handle so much water. If you pump the water through a filter too fast, not only will little mechanical filtration occur and the filter over flow, but NO biological filtration will occur. Which is more needed than mechanical. Which is mainly why I like pressurized. I STRONGLY recommend pressurized. I know that I am over-emphasizing that type of filter, but honestly, should you make a mistake in pump calculations, your filter won't leak and over flow and cause your pond to drain. That is a major plus.Shouldn't more water pump into to filter the better?
