Have a new 275 gallon pond where I have the pump, pump through a
bulkhead in a 25 gallon tub..where I have an A/C filtering material at
the bottom of the tub and above the bulkhead...above the filtering
material I have the plants at different levels in the water...no soil,
then the water spills over on to a small waterfall. Will this suffice or
will it depend on the plants or will a layer of soil and gravel creating
a bog be better for the filter. TIA

Very pretty. Doesn't look like those plants need soil or gravel to me, only
reason to use them is if the plants need support, but they look great to
me. Will it work? Water quality by testing with test kits are your best way
to really know. Beyond that we'd just be guessing. ;o) ~ jan
