Plenum filters
Hi
After succesfully keeping a reef tank for several years i have now moved into pond keeping or should i say blanket weed growing. The answer to algae elimination in a reef tank is to install a plenum filter to reduce nitrates and phosphates to virtually undetectable levels, hence starving them of their food. I understand the design of plenum filters as they apply to reef keeping and i intend to use silver sand in place of coral sand as the local water supply is very hard. Has anyone here used such a filter in a pond and if so what where the results. I understand that water temperature plays a big part in the efficiency of the bacteria in the filter and its ability to breakdown the nitrates and phosphates. In the north of England, where i live, a water temperature of 18-20c is quite high and about as good as it gets in the summer. Any help please. |
