Had a rep come around yesterday and he said that bottom drains are inefficient and I'd be better off with a pump fed system, this contradicts most of what I have read. Also in regard to filter systems, it appears that everyone has their favourites, some say Cloverleaf others say Nexus and this...

Thanks Jason, have had a quick look at those links and I think Ill be reading for about a month :lol: Because I originally only had 4 * 4" Koi and comets in a connecting garden pond I was only using a standard 18000L filter so now I am having to get all the proper filters etc, I think these 7...

any ideas????????
