Answer:

I have a very small pond, but have three very large koi that grew from 3 inches to about 24 inches long...Have had them for almost 5 years now. We use a UV filter plus a mechanical/biological filter. The UV filter really keeps the water clear and you can truly tell when the light needs to be replaced, as the algae growth increases rapidly. We use a box-type filter that is stuffed with a combination of foam-filled and carbon-filled balls, plus two layers of flat mechanical filters.
With three big fish (plus a pecca that is a bottom-feeder), the filters need frequent cleaning, but they really work.

Thank you for your question. We recommend using Laguna Biomedia (item number 12944) to replace the Bio-Activators in your TetraPond Pressure Filter. Please refer to your instruction manual for more information regarding the amount of media needed.

Why don't you carry "Seachem Matrix" or "Seachem Pond Matrix"? You have all but that one item I want and I was hoping to order everything here in one place.
