Pond Bog Filters: What Are They and Why Will You Want One? - Premier Ponds

Another day fighting our green pond. We built a mini bog filter for our yellow-bellied slider pond. I really wanted a solution to our algae problem that we get every time the weather heats up. Here’s what we did: - Got a used stock tank tub - placed pump house at the bottom - laid down larger rocks - cleaned and put in lava rocks - cleaned and put in pea gravel - cut pvc to size - cut out take hole - placed pvc pipe and sealed - planted plants (hostas and day lilies) - attached pump - plugged it

6.4K views · 30 reactions | I have a 700 gallon stock tank pond. I’m going to add a bog filter to it. I’m just in the planning stages and curious how big my bog needs to be. I’m putting a few large fish in it so I’d rather over do the bog than under do it. And what types of plants do best in partial shade. It’s under a tree and next to a fence so it only gets a few hours of direct sunlight a day. TIA! | Amanda Walker | Facebook
