You have a good setup to convert into a moving bed filter

@utubeKev1 i know. i just wanted to confirm what media he used. :-)
-
@chengaun (What media do you use??) I think highresvid has already made it clear that he is using cheap kitchen scrubbing pads (soft square sponge sandwiched to a layer of coarse plastic abrasive fibre) as the FILTER MEDIA and not for literally scrubbing the pond, as some people here seem to think.

What Media Do you use?? The Filter Seems Real Effective!!!

It wasnt a grand to set up, the Tetra Choice filter was 100.00 and the microlift for beneficial bacteria is 34.00. You mention scrubbing? What are you scrubbing? The sides?

over here the branded one like tetra, eheim is costly. I prefer to do DIY ones..
yeah, im only using kitchen scrubbing pads as my mech, chemical filtration media.

We had green water problems even with a filter and a UV until we switched to Tetra Choice system with water filtered through two two coarse filter pads (which I have to rinse every 3 or 4 days to keep it clean- every day for 4 days in the beginning!!!!) and the media balls in the bottom. Addewd Microblift to get it going. Then and only then was I able to walk out each morning and see the bottom (I have 22-24 inches and 36 in other)I now am loving my pond now!
