I've got to add a second again to the UV light. I have approximately 7,000 gallons running over 85', with two ponds. Since mine is to promote a backyard wildlife habitat, the 18' diameter pond has a walk down beach, etc. Believe me, natural was the only way I was going - one with nature and all that - . I had Biofiltration exclusively. Because of the size of my pond, I was told that the water clarity/quality would balance out within 4 months - NOT!

Whatever works is cool for you, fredrump, but I enjoy the pond so much more now because I can see all the fishes, plants, etc. under the water. And the fish have been VERY healthy - in fact, I'm going to have to give some away this spring. - Dax

I've sent a couple of pics of the pond and stream, just look at the clarity of the water. I never got that without the UV lights.

Oh, forgot to say that the depth of that area of pond is 3'.
