[quote][i]Originally posted by drunkenfool[/i] It is a bit on the large side :lol: Aside from the obvious initial setup costs, the running of the thing actually isn't too bad. The two main filters are powered by the same 10,000 litre per hour pump (gravity fed from pond to Nexus 300, then pumped out of there, through the big green one, then through the UV and back to pond), and that is a special low energy one that only uses 97w. The pump that draws water from the surface skimmer is only 25w, and that goes through the filter that you can see behind the green one in the pic above. Aside from the two pumps, the UV clarifier has to be on all the time and that uses 55w, then lastly there is air pump which is also on 24/7 (normal operation it airates the outer chamber of the main filter, then it's diverted to clean the central chamber and/or the filter on the skimmer line), so that makes about 230w. I know it adds up over time, but I think it's worth it! [/quote]
