I have a small pond (1000 Litres) with just a bog filter for filtration atm. I was thinking of adding one of these and am interested to see how this performs for you! Thanks for the detailed unboxing
I think the comparison with the Tempest is a little misrepresented of both units, because from what I understand from EA the Tempest is just a water polisher to go after an existing filter system, mainly for larger ponds, hence the larger sizes and higher flow rates, whereas the Surge is a stand alone filter for small ponds or quarantine system/grow on tanks/hospital tanks. The two units do completely different jobs, so the comparison could serve to confuse.
