Good job with the pics ...does that filter just sit in the pond?

 

[Stouty109]

yea the filter sits in the deepest part of the pond thats about 2.5' deep and it powers 1 small WF and a fountain

Looks good to me. The more tubes the better. I have mixed feelings about the holes, but they can't hurt. Surface area is what makes them work. The anerobic bacteria attach to the surface and as the water flows over, they feed on the nitrates and nitrites.

oh ok i was thinkin about water flow would b greater through the tubes with holes but im a newbee to the diy filter stuff thanks for the info
