Building a HUGE Pond Filter - Part 4 - Moving Bed / Fluidized Media Chamber

Forth episode in this mega-filter build for my large trout pond. Today we will take a look at the moving bed chamber and concentrate on the perforated outlet, drain and outlets to the next chamber.
Toward the end of this video I go into depth about the pros and cons of different types of moving bed / fluidized bed filter media media and explain how you can boost the biological activity in your moving bed by 40% simply by making the right media choice.
Why spend thousands on a fancy filter system and have it under-performing?
A cheap DIY moving bed filter with the right media will easily outperform a ready made one with the wrong media....
Please check with the manufacturer of your moving bed if it will take K1 micro without modification - most will not, therefore the Hel-x 13 would be the better choice instead of K1 standard size
(Both the Hel-x and K1 micro offer approx. 40% more surface area per litre compared to standard K1)
The next episode will highlight the two static bed chambers which will be filled with a nation of media.
*When using side pressure to cut a hole with a drill bit use safety glasses since a broken drill bit is a sharp object which can damage eyes.
