Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait water trough and filter

Rainman - That sounds like a very nice setup. What size is the tank?

Also, I have a Magnum 350 Pro (with the biowheels and quick disconnect valves) that is basically brand new and working great. I purchased an FB-900 after you mentioned it on this thread (you're quite influential my man). I hooked it up in line with the Magnum 350 with a t connector with the idea of diverting half of the output to the biowheels and half to the FB-900. I have not been able to get water to flow more than a trickle in the FB-900, so obviously the sand is not fluidizing at all. I am using the top input and output on the FB-900. Any tips on getting this thing to work? The specs say 200 GPH is the max flow they suggest for the FB-900, and that 70-100 GPH is generally the best, so I should be getting good results with this combo. Should I try using one of the bottom inputs rather than the top one? Important to note that I have also diverted 100% of the outflow to the FB-900 and still just a trickle of water and a struggling pump. Obviously a clog huh? How do you fix that? Remove sand and start over? ick.
