How Clean is Clean?

after 4 years I can still see a water lily label on the bottom of my 4' deep pond
that has the veggie filter. I dont add anything to break stuff down, but the big
difference is the net over the pond all the time AND there are no trees close enough
to dump leaves into our back yard and pond. in fall when I clean the veggie filter,
there is a 2-3 inch deep layer of muck I clean out. Ingrid

densely growing plants on teh bottom can accumulate a lot of mulm that
could
potentially be a problem. best is to check for how dirty it is down there
in warm
weather when walking in the pond and plan a cleaning then. Ingrid

I am hoping that once my diffuser is in place on the BD, that the mulm will
be kept to a minimum. What do you think?
