I currently have a 40x40 pond with about 30,000 gallons. The problem is that it is pea soup. I built a bog filter for it 3 years ago, but it was too small (10x10) and it got clogged very quickly. After a bit of research it seems like a bog IS the best way to filter a pond this big.
My current plan is to build a bigger bog, closer to 12x30.
So this is where I need advice.
How deep do I make the bog?
How do I make the Manifolds to distribute water?
Should I make a false bottom to collect debris?
How can I plumb/make a simple system to clean the debris that fill the bottom?
I'll post pictures a little later and look forward to advise.
Thanks!
