Biological filters harbor the bacteria that convert ammonia from fish wastes into nitrates. Bog filters take those nitrates out of the water column and convert them into plant material.<\/p>\n<p>The reason this is so important is, the nitrates that result from a well-functioning biofilter are plant food, and if there are no other plants in the system, or even too few plants, those nitrates are going to feed lots and lots of algae.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. The better your biological filtration is, the more plant food is going to be created, and the more algae will grow\u2026 UNLESS there are other plants to consume those nitrates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-331\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg?resize=432%2C324\" alt=\"DSC02195\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC02195.jpg?resize=507%2C380&amp;ssl=1 507w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>Enter the Bog Filter, the perfect way to get those nitrates out of the pond water, and so, to eliminate green water and string algae. Basically, by placing desired ornamental plants in bare gravel, without sufficient soil to feed themselves, the plants take up all the available nutrients in the water and starve out the undesirable algae.<\/p>\n<p>Bog Filtration is a pretty simple concept, so there are plenty of different ways to implement it. The simplest are graveled areas in or adjacent to the pond filled with bog and marginal plantings, called passive bogs because there is no active flow of water through the gravel. Active bogs use the pumping system to force water through the planted beds, and are much more effective because all the nutrients in the pond have to pass through the matted roots of the bog filter, and are removed.<\/p>\n<p>There are two kinds of active bogs that differ in the direction of water flow. Downflow Bogs pull water down into the planted gravel bed, while upflow Bogs reverse the flow, pushing water up through the plant roots and out the top of the gravel bed. Because downflow bogs tend to trap sediments and clog more frequently, we\u2019re going to talk about building upflow bogs instead.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage to active upflow bogs is that they can be placed just about anywhere. Perimeter bogs, waterfall or stream bogs, even bog islands are simple to add to any existing pond, as long as they are built so the pumped water makes its way back into the pond.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most effective bogs I\u2019ve seen was built on an island in the center of an existing koi <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/101-7a.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-335\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/101-7a.png?resize=359%2C290\" alt=\"101-7a\" width=\"359\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/101-7a.png?w=359&amp;ssl=1 359w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/101-7a.png?resize=300%2C242&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>pond. A plastic grate set on cinder blocks about 6\u201d below water level was covered with a piece of liner, then ringed with dry stacked stones to the surface. A planted gravel bed covered a 2\u201d perforated pipe attached to a pump below the island. Water pumped into the gravel bed flowed back through the gravel and stones, stripped of all nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take much flow \u2013 usually one quarter of the volume of the pond per hour is sufficient. The size of the bog depends on the fish load. A goldfish pond where the fish are not fed at all might need a bog about 10% of the surface are of the pond in size. On the other hand, a pond where Koi are fed twice a day might need a bog 30% of the size of the pond.<\/p>\n<p>More elaborate bogs use EcoBlox under the gravel bed to form a sediment chamber that also traps suspended solids, but that\u2019s the subject of another post. Regardless of how you choose to install them, Bog Filters keep your pond free of algae using just beautiful plants to clear and clean pond water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-339\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?resize=790%2C273\" alt=\"pond-free_bog\" width=\"790\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?w=2500&amp;ssl=1 2500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?resize=300%2C104&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?resize=768%2C265&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?resize=1024%2C353&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?resize=1101%2C380&amp;ssl=1 1101w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?w=1580&amp;ssl=1 1580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/pond-free_bog.jpg?w=2370&amp;ssl=1 2370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>About the Author:<strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-33 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.atlanticwatergardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meetdemi.png?resize=140%2C140\" alt=\"Demi is the Direct of Product Information for Atlantic Water Gardens\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meetdemi.png?w=140&amp;ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atlantic-oase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meetdemi.png?resize=90%2C90&amp;ssl=1 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/strong><b>DEMI FORTUNA<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Demi has been in water garden construction since 1986.
