The importance of a bog filter. Sid’s koi pond.

You have a lovely looking pond with amazing water clarity and healthy koi so whatever you're doing, keep doing it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Ken.

Beautiful pond and clear water you got there ! I like the concept of bog filter , but they never worked for me. That’s why I integrate planted sections in my pond and have seperate flooded planters where the plants float in it and the water flows around the roots. Keep doing what you are doing because it works perfectly for you ! 👍👌

@@mustangkoiaustralia Thanks you! Have a great spring and summer season. For me I’ve had enough heat 🥵, time for the cooler season.💤

Cool I am just working on a video for bog Filtration.. lol Your koi are looking great. The more plants that grow in and out of our ponds the better it is for our koi ..

[@KoiRun50]

Thanks buddy. Would definitely love to incorporate more plants to mine. I’m always excited about anything you come out with.

Bog filters work great, the best way to clean your water,

[@KoiRun50]

I think so too. Thanks for watching!

Interesting. I do not incureage anaerobic bacteria myself as they compete with the plants for nitrogen. 😀👍

[@KoiRun50]

I would imagine that anaerobic Bacteria are hardier than plants as plants tend to die off, so would make a better filter.

[@greenmachinesweden]

@@KoiRun50 I have not seen any tendencies of plants dieing off in my bog filter. But yes, anaerobic bacterias are in the system no matter if I want them or not. I just do not incurage them to grow. That includes keeping organic solid waste to a minimum and airation. Plants consumes nitrogen and phosphates. Denitrification only consumes nitrogen and leave phosphates behind.
