hI,
I HAVE A POND AND ITS 3400 GALLONSUK I THINK ITS UNDER STOCKED BUT I HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF NITRITE ABOUT 0.3 I HAVE NO CRAP IN THE POND LEAVES ETC . MY FILTER SYSTEM IS HOME MADE ITS A BOX 43" LONG X 36" WIDE AND 20" DEEP I HAVE 11500 LTRS AN HOUR GOING THROUGH 2 SPRAY BARS AT THE TOP WHICH ARE COVERD IN THROW AWAY FILTER MEDIA AND THE BOX IS FILLED WITH GRAVEL TO ABOUT 12" WITH A LAYER OF THROW AWAY FILTER MEDIA ON TOP OF THE GRAVEL. IT THEN TRICKLES THROUGH THE GRAVEL BACK TO THE POND.
DO YOU THINK MY FILTER BOX IS THE PROBLEM.
SOMEONE RECCOMMENDED PERLITE INSTEAD OF GRAVEL???????
REGARDS
