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.
