Anyone use OASE Biotec 18000 filter?

[Matt McDevitt]

After 8 years it's time for a new filter. I have narrowed my search to this OASE Biotech 18000. Does anyone use this or know any reviews m good or bad. It's $700 so I want to make sure it works!

I'm actually looking at the Oase Biosmart 5000. It looks similar. Let us know if you go with it, I'll be curious how you like it.

This morning I ordered the Savio Versatile Filter F200, with the bottom drain kit. Last summer, I was a slave to my filter, which was so old, I couldn't get replacement parts for it. I ordered from Webb's Water Garden and they price matched

Let us know how you like it.

Tula what type of filter did you have?

it's an Easy Pro 2500. I got years of use from it, but I need to replace the pads, seals, UV light housing and a bracket.

What is the size of your pond? What is the fish load? Is it a dedicated Koi pond or eco-based?
This particular series of filtters from OASE include a metal sieve for additional mechanical filtration. If you already have a skimmer for your pond, this sieve will be really overkill unless you are looking for pristine water. Certainly not practical in an eco-based pond.
