Pond BUILD day 3 Filtration
What happens here
After installing the AquaBlox, river rock is added on top of the filtration system. This gravel layer further enhances filtration and provides a natural base for the pond. The video emphasizes that the presence of the gravel, along with the internal design of the AquaBlox, contributes to increased water velocity through interstitial spaces, which is vital for preventing clogging and maintaining effective biological filtration. This modular system with various layers of river rock is highlighted as being efficient and durable.
Goal: Complete the biological filtration layers by adding river rock over the AquaBlox.
