Posted	pond pump and filter
03-06-2006 23:17 by kramreklaw	hi just a small query i have a pond 12fy x 4ft x 4ft deep roughly equates to 1000 gallon i have now put koi in this and i went to the local koi fish supplier for a pump and filter i was advised to get a hoselock bioforce 4500 filter with a titan 3000 pump which will turn the water over every 2 hrs i need a pressurised filter as the pond is above ground level at first the filter was coping but at the mo i have to clean it out twice a week i was wondering have i been given the wrong size and wat filters and pumps would folks reccomend? many thanks if u can help
04-06-2006 00:39 by chris	do you have a bottam drain? also do you have a seperate uv or is the filter (bioforce) have one already? also how big/many koi do you have?
04-06-2006 00:43 by chris	and the first one is suitable for 996 gallons. with koi being a v messy fish i would go for the big bigger one (9000 litre one)
04-06-2006 00:53 by kramreklaw	i have no bottom drain just a sump and the fish r 2x 12 inch and 5 x 8 inch the filter is a bioforce aswell
04-06-2006 12:47 by chris	the filter should be fine then. good luck
04-06-2006 13:55 by kramreklaw	thanks mate for ur help i have now gone and bought one i just wish the shop had thought of tis in the first pace instead of selling me the one i have
04-06-2006 19:44 by chris	lol. hope it works well!
05-06-2006 23:30 by mike kent	krameklaw, my conditions are almost the same as yours,same wrong equipment,had to replace it with a biosys2 system now its great
13-06-2006 23:47 by okcoky	i thought i had a big enough pump and filter with a hoselock but i have now a filter that is fit for a pond twice the size,as they say bigger is better lol.By the way mine is an oase.p.s.get the biggest and best you can afford.
