SO WHAT IS AN ECOSYSTEM POND?
Check out the things you’ll need to get your ecosystem pond in perfect balance:
Skimmer (mechanical filter): will not only pre-filter the water and house the pump; it will also skim debris from the water’s surface to prevent the accumulation of organic materials on the pond floor.
BioFalls ® (biological filter): Provide surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and remove excess nutrients from the water.
Pumps: an efficient circulation system will keep the water moving and provide the necessary oxygen levels for healthy fish and plants.
Rocks and gravel: provide tremendous surface area for beneficial bacteria to break down excess nutrients in the water and dissolved organic debris on the pond floor.
Fish: reduce pond maintenance as they graze on string algae and bottom feed on the pond floor. Fish also make very enjoyable pets, providing hours of natural entertainment.
Plants: Mother Nature’s true filters, plants are great for adding character to a pond by providing color and texture, but from a filtration perspective, they’re second to none. Thriving from the excess nutrients in a pond and depriving algae of its food source, the aquatic plants in a water garden, given proper coverage, are critical for the overall health of the ecosystem.
