Yes, looks like it functions well. Tank very industrial looking, though.

=======================
I have a 40 or 50g black rubber water trough for a veggie filter that you
can't even see. It's hidden behind tall water iris and the parrots feather
hides the top. :-) I stuff all kinds of pond plants in there. Also, 2
sides of the pond has shelves and more plants. Works great with the Tetra
"block and filter material" filter.

You have a large fish load and a big pond of 10K Gals, but you have ONLY
two 4' dia veggie filters that are 1' deep!!!? Do the two filters run
in parallel or serially? Do you have any mechanical filters before the
veggie filters? How often do you clean your filters? This may change
my entire plan for my pond.

she has 2 "big sister" filters on that one pond. the ammonia was removed in 10 days
by running water from one of the big sisters thru the veggie filter. each filter has
its own veggie filter. I think something happened and the biobugs were killed so the
filters became useless. once ammonia was lowered by the plants the big sisters
kicked back in. in ANY case, there is now NO ammonia, NO nitrates either, so they no
longer have to do routine water changes. Ingrid
