What is a Vegetable Garden filter?
Your fish tank holds fish that are living in a confined environment and at much higher density than they are in nature. This increases the concentration of fish waste which has the potential to foul your water and affect the health of the fish. In order to filter the water of these substances you need a system that removes excesses of waste and maintains optimum water quality for fish health. A Vegetable Garden filter is a specially designed filter system, that uses naturally occuring friendly bacteria to convert fish wastes into a form of nutrient. Vegetable plants are planted into the filter and the plants extract this nutrient from the water. No other filtration method is required in addition to the Vegetable garden filter.
