I have a 1200 gallon pond with Cichlids - Sorry no Koi.

We use a tetra cannister filter with an 1100 gph pump. The filter was

running very slow, so I cleaned the enire filter and it still ran

slow. Then I found a something jambed within the connection between

the hose and filter. When i removed this, I never saw so much water run
thru the filter.

I'm actually wondering now if the water is running too fast. Should

the water be traveling thru the filter at the same or close to the

same speed as it enters? Seems it should in order to turnover the

water volume. Boy this guy is really flowing now.





Which of the following series filters do you have? Biofilter or Pressure

I run a PF-3 @ 1200GPH on a 600 gal pond with no problems.
