Re: How I manage water quality....
I looked at that early on as well. Rather than pay for all the controller parts, I monitored the O3 for a while and then set the unit to keep the ORP just under where I wanted it. A cheap ORP meter can help you out there. Piece of mind is well worth the investment though if it make you comfortable with the system. Either way, I think you'll like the results!
Best wishes!

Ark,
The only way that I make smller micron filters work in high volume systems is to go long. I use 32" 100 micron filter bags in large sumps. the chamber for the micron filter has to be the size of the bag, so 32". This allows the bag to stretch out and fill with the indound polluted water. I noticed in your setup that the bag is a little cramped. Since you have space limitations, a larger micron is about the only way you'll get around the flow issues.
Best wishes!
Re: How I manage water quality....
yep there is no way I could fit a 32" long filter in my set up
Re: How I manage water quality....
Well My Ozone Generator/controler came in today! I just need some time to put this all together. That wont happen for a few weeks but when It does I will start a new thread.:D
One step at a time.
