This was the bog that the stream fed when we built it... all along the stream the rocks looked like this. ....colorful and clean. Since the reservoir had to be deeper to hold more water -- that gravel bog turned into a pond with water about a foot deep. It was ok..not what we wanted... but ok...when it all was clean and clear. Now, it looks like a swamp and when I started to clean it out I picked up a snakeskin! (That is one reason I posted the question.. right after I researched wading pants!!) I will post a photo when it is 'pristine' again. I have to learn about water plants because from what I read on DG - the plants will help to keep the water clean. Because no intention to have a pond - no filter or UVs or anything was installed. The person that enlarged the bog hole told me he put in ledges for me to grow plants on - so I will get busy figuring out how all this is done. I am assuming that the algae rock scum buster scrubber will be ok for plants --but I will do the homework on that too. Thanks Again.
