Default Veggie Filters vs UV Filters ??

Ingrid,

You are getting a lot of mileage from a few feet. Well done. I am
specially grateful to have enough room to spread out. Our main pond is 16 x
22. We four veggie filters, each with different plants. Mine is certainly
less footprint efficient than yours.

the problem is what is removing the nitrates in your pond??? I agree

about too much
space. my entire backyard is 25' x 25' ... which is why my veggie filter

LOOKS like
a regular flower planter. most people do have flower beds along side

their ponds.
well... it just needs to be flower boxes with various plants in it to look

great.

Now my pond is bigger without the VF...

I also switched to a much higher surface bio-media to reduce my filter
size from 130 gal down to 60 gal for my 3000 gal pond.

There is NO way I am going back! ;-)
