Veggie Filter Depth
"GrannyGrump" wrote in message ... It is not whether the water will change going over the waterfall, but the action of the type of bacteria, and the waste products produced. Aerobic digestion does not produce hydrogen sulfide or methane which smell bad and are toxic to the fish. So how would a 4 or 5 foot deep veggie filter be created to not have this happen? Besides using an airstone, have the pump bring the water into the bottom of the deepest part of the veg filter, and rain from near the top of the other end. This way it helps ensure there is a good bottom to top waterflow. Otherwise the water at the bottom of the filter tends to become stagnant. Snooze |

Well, I had intended to have the water go from the top to drain out the bottom....would this prevent anerobic problems? |
