BV,

the koi will stir it up, and that is good. Each time it settles, it will
settle closer to the bottom drain and eventually find its way to the VF,
where the plant roots will help filter it out, make it settle where it is
easier to remove.

If it is settling, then you won't need to do anything else, once it
stops coming in. And yes, being stirred up.

And your VF will get more effective as the plant roots grow.

I am afraid if I just leave it on the bottom, the fishes will stir it up
constantly. I'll just have to wait and see.
