I've been considering having a go at a biological filter/water feature
using
nutrient hungry plants or mussels in a resin water rapids leading into the
main
pond. I was wondering if anyone had particular thoughts or opinions on
this?
I've seen it done at a pond store & it looks effective. I thought it might
be attractive to frogs & damselflies/dragonflies.
=============================
We have a biological plant filter and settling tank on our 2000 gallon pond
that works great. We also have a regular Tetra pond filter that's more a
mechanical filter than a bio filter. I haven't heard of anyone in my area
using mussels as part of their filtration system. Why not give it a try and
let us know if it works?

As for dragon flies, frogs, water snakes and turtles,... wherever you have
water and these critters are in the area, they will find your pond.
