hi, mind if you take a picture of the inflow for your sump.
my pond was not designed properly, always have fishes getting sucked in. tried stuffing the inlet with nets and stuffs, but end up reducing the flow rate. end up my pump chamber is always dry. |

You can get wide gauge stainless steel wire mesh fairly easily. Depending on your setup, building a cage around your pump/inlet might be a good solution. Directly stuffing the inlet will definitely reduce your flow rate terribly. Building a cage around the inlet on the other hand will have far less effect on the flow. |

Bro Farish, let me know how denitrator works for u?
This morning I was awaked by the heavy downpour. Around 6+ when it finally stopped, I noticed my fgt water is very cloudy. I am not sure if is the rain water with the haze that caused this cloudiness Now the filter system has clear the water and it is back to normal. Should I do a WC? I just did a 50% WC the day before... Sianz... Any bros with outdoor fgt having this issue after this morning rain? |

Thks bro Matthew, pH is ok. I just worry that there will be pollutants from the haze being introduced into the fgt through the rain... Today the fish looks ok, so I guess everything is fine. Maybe the cloudiness is caused by heavy rain disturbing the filter media

Did you manage to solve your nitrate issues? I see that you have added quite a few plants to the system. |
