My problem is simple, do I need barley straw to clear up all the poop or is the UV sterilizer suppose to do that? My pond is 1500 gal. and 15 years old! Thanks for all I learn from this site!

Thsat is the main reason i did not put in a skimmer 2 filters are better than one .Both are crates First 2 pics are crate in my waterfall filter and last pic is just a crate inside the liner that water runs into it and through filter media and lava rock and out the crate and back into the pond .They both pick up a lot of waste
