upflow or downflow?
I put in a humungous filter behind my pond which is really ugly and
needs to be disguised somehow. Someone told me I should have used a filter that can be placed in the tiny pond that makes the waterfall. Someone else said that would be too labor intensive. Probably everyone on the news group knows which is better and less work. I would appreciate your opinions. Ruth Kazez |

That is as easy to answer as Coke or Pepsi...hmm...no...how about McDonalds or Burger King? Hmm...no. OK, I guess it is NOT so easy. I chose a VF combined with a Bottom Drain. My line of thinking says, BD empties mulm from pond, mulm feeds plants and settles in VF. VF is shallow. Once a year I will have to clean shallow pond, and hopefully never the main pond. No Mechanical filtration means no filter materials to clean on a weekly basis. This is all theory, as my pond is just months old. BV. |

Ruth Kazez Hi Ruth, If you've spent much time here you'd realize everyone thinks their filter is best;-) I remember your art work, but not your pond. Could you post the url once again. -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

Ruth Kazez How big is your pond? personaly I would stick with the fiter you have IMHO the bigger filter the better, can you disguise it with some sort of fence? -- John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |

Of course, I'm eager to post it again, but now I've changed the
waterfall. It's much more rocky. Also, I made all the pics clickable, not just the final one. The bigger deeper pond is at least 2000 gallons and the little first one is around 400. http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/...wPondPage.html Ruth Kazez |
