I need a few suggestions as to what I can use for a DIY bio/ mechanical filter. My old filter for the pond got cracked RIGHT on the seam for the canister. So any suggestions? I also have a UV, should the UV go first or after in the filter system? And filter media?
 
What size pond? What size pump you running? What are you stocking?
UV should go after the filter. Is your DIY going to be pressurized or gravity?
 
I can't really remember the pond size but it has a ledge going all the way around it. The ledge is 15 inches from the very top of the pond. The very bottom of of the pond to the top is 3 feet. The pump doesn't have the gph rate on it and I don't really remember it's gph. I'm stocking it with two ID sharks, a Florida gar, guppies, and MAYBE a Lima shovelnose. gravity.
