how do you make a bog filter?

@TERESA Hello and welcome! There are many ways to make a bog filter — this is a broad question. We have several threads on here with excellent information, and a Google search will point you in the right direction. Also, if you have specific questions, we are hear to answer them for you.

Also, you might get better answers if you started your own, separate thread. In most cases, when a question is piggy-backed onto another thread, you are less likely to get the kind of answers you are looking for.

Curious, since this is your 1st post since you joined in 2008, do you know what a “bog filter” is? Do you have a pond? Why not go over to our “introductions“ topic and tell us a little bit about yourself.

A bog can be as small as a window (planter) box, or huge. It's relative to the size of your pond.

Here's mine:

My add-on bog build

I finally did it! I joined the bog club! The bog is approximately 14 feet by 5 feet and about 12 inches deep. I know my 1600+ gallon pond has been overpopulated due to my fish reproductive rates! Last year the water never cleared up to my liking. I figured my two pressure filters and my...
