Koi Pond Filter

17 years ago

Hello. I am new to this site and I am so excited to have found a place where I can talk to others about ponds!

My fiance and I have built about a 4,800 gallon pond (give or take 200 gallons). We had a small (1,900) gallon pressure filter cleaning our pond for our tiny 4" koi. We recently had to take in 2 18"+ koi and a huge goldfish 12"+. Our ammonia levels are now .5, nitrite is high and we need a filter big enough for our pond asap.

The problem is I don't know anything about filters. I have heard people arguing about which type is the best-but ot seems many disagree.

I want to get something that will take care of the whole pond so I won't have to buy another filter later on. I also need something that is a good quality and reasonable in price. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

More info that may help...

Pond is about 16' x 10' x 4.5'

We have a 36 watt uv light.

We have a waterfall powered by a separate pump.
