John,

Thoughts on your experiment: I am wondering about the rate of flow issue
for your bog. Sufficient time in filter and slow motion rate to permit
sedimentation are, as I remember, crucial. Let us know how it works out.

I think it will do ok I had basicaly the same rate last summer but with
th barel filters of course I cheat some my bog is 25 x 25 ft so with
over 100 plants so things slow down somewhat going through it

Keep us posted on your experiment and we will try to do the same for ours.

We are about a month away from the turn of season here in MS. We are two
months from the last frost date. Clear water, dead plants for the next 6
weeks.

Jim

I will

this spring Im going to try an experiment with my ponds Im taking the
biomechanical barell filters off line and running the water directly
from the Koi Pond into the bog thereby useing the bog as bio filter
settlment tank etc
we will see how that works with the spring algae bloom I think at this
point it will as some of the plants are already starting to grow and the
winter green water is clearing
