hi guys, i bought my self another 10,000l pump other day ready for setting up my QT pond (liner is in and its filling up slowly), im looking at adding a sand filter to it, which sort would you recommend
I'd go for the second one. It's the only type I've seen in a koi installation.

Hi mate....you have 2 different types of filter there. The first is a fluid bed filter which is filled with oolitic sand (3-5kg???) and has water pumped upwards through it to 'fluidize' the sand providing biological filtration. The 2nd is a sand filter that water is pumped down through to provide mechanical filtration or water 'polishing'. Which type were you after??
