No I wouldn't especially for that size pond.

No I wouldn't especially for that size pond.

So i typically look for 5-8x turnover. Stay with that?

VLDesign used an Ultima 6,000 on his 2700 gallon tank.

My new 2600 gallon plywood tank project

It's Killing me to wait the time to the leak test. Having just completed my 310 I can appreciate what it's doing to you!! Stay Patient and best of luck!

I had to redo my tank, so its recycling now. Here's the latest picture. I'll post a build article later once cycled and filled with fish...

You know that saying, "Go BIG or go home" -- applies to filtration


I also will be running two Ultima 4,000s on my 2,000 gallon system, when I get my act together and finish the project.
