shallow does great. Ingrid

Mine is deeper because I wanted it to drain into my raised
pond.
I guess I could have just filled in the bottom with dirt but
I was running out of dirt ;-).


Oh sure, I am not saying it's bad...just that for filtration it's not
neccessary. Biomechanical filters need volume, VF's need surface area.
