I am using a separate pump for my upflow gravel bog. What is an ideal flow rate through the bog for optimal filtering? Both mechanical through rocks and bacterial through plant roots. My main waterfall pump is rated 5100gph, actual gph at waterfall will be about 3100gph on an almost 3k gallon pond so basic turnover is covered already. Bog will be about 6x7x1, about 300 gallons of gravel and water. Thank you!
I did try to search for this answer but didn't find any info for a separate bog pump, all instances referred to making sure entire pond turn over rates were achieved.
