    If I move it outside then I will stack them but at the moment I have plenty of room and as you say if it works then leave it along :D

    Hi John,
    There only one deep in a 3 meter by 4 meter pond and I still have room. I did have some small Koi in the filter so they moved some of the cat litter onto the floor.

    The cat litter was purchased 9 years ago and I still have 10 bags in stock :cool:

    Good point about the plants, more maintenance means less time to watch the Koi and drink a cold one :):)

    Hi,

    There are currently 12 Koi in the pond but I used to have more.

    I'd run the Anoxic until the temperature gets to 16 - 17°C and then isolate your normal filter. This will stop the nitrate cycle (which shouldn't be too high after winter) and let the Anoxic filter...

    Jason, why not just extend the cabling to the pumps etc near to where you have your filter. Job done, no problem :)

    What is the water temperature ? If it's a lot higher than ambiant then it will evaporate quicker.

    There do seem to be a few bad comments on the net, mostly from 2014.

    I've been using a pump running dry for the last 4 years and have had no problems. I recently bought a second one that is...

    What, you read the manual? :eek: I've never cleaned them Keith (I'm running two). In fact I've never touched them except to reduce the flow in winter and back up again in Spring. Got to say, a good...

    If you have an Anoxic filter that was working well, why did you add the K1 ? The moving bed K1 filter is working against the Anoxic and will result in higher levels of Nitrate. :confused:

    No problem Adam, I also heat with an ASHP or Central Heating if temperature is too low. The Anoxic filter keeps ticking over and keeps the parameters under control. :)
