??? I am going to enlarge my pond to 3000 - 4000 max gals. Can I use one of
my preforms (250gal, 18" depth) to make a veggie filter? Joann

Your VF should have roughly 10% of the surface area of your pond to be
functional.

Sure, I did until I decided I'd rather have a larger one
with a waterfall.

Joann,

As a first veggie filter, it will work fine. And then you can add another
and another, as the number of plants outgrow the preform, or the fish load
requires more filtration.

Thanks all. It means I can still utilize both ponds. 500 gals of veggie
filter. I was hoping height was not pertinent to the process. Joann
