Koi Pond- Biological Pond Filters

Executive Summary by: Douglas Hoover

Contrary to common belief, biological pond filters do not process or filter the solid waste of fish in your koi pond.

Plants now utilize the nitrate and phosphate for fertilizer; if you have not provided an adequate ratio of water plants to koi fish, “hard” algae (growing on rocks and koi pond walls) and “free- floating” algae use nitrate and phosphate to reproduce. A bio-filter pond is used in conjunction with shallow koi ponds with small populations of koi fish.

An adequate ratio of plant cover for the koi pond’s surface is approximately 20 to 30 percent. For example: koi fish population, water temperature, and debris accumulating from leaves or over-feeding the koi fish.
