Perhaps it is again time to question the list on the difference between

a
veggie filter and a bog. Since both are heavily planted, can't one use


either or both? Can a bog serve as a veggie filter? How is dirt used

in
either? Can they use the same plants? Is the difference merely water
depth?

======================
My veggie filter has no soil. It's a 40g tank full of plants. When the
roots take it over I cut them back. A bog would be shallower and contain
soil. I can see a bog quickly filling to overflow with roots and plants.
