Suggestions for best filter plants
Xref: kermit rec.ponds:145648
I have a 20,000 gallon pond (17'x47'x2'-4') with just minnows, no Koi. I put my filter plants directly in the pond rather than in a special veggie filter. My pond is spring fed, so I need fairly aggressive filter plants. The pond has stone wall sides (old swimming pool) but I have greenhouse benches under the water around the outside so I can use marginals or under water plants. My biggest problem is string algae. It even grows on the end of the spring pipes, so the spring water has a fair amount of nutrients in it. What are my best choices?
