Kevin,
Thank you
for sending the info on you "Anoxic Filtration System" very
interesting theories and very well put together. I am always interested in
trying to find and learn new ways to keep a pond as maintenance free as
possible. In the 10 yrs. I have been in this industry I have always found
all the info in regards to this industry to be as Doc Johnson put it "fact
by proxy". You talk to five different people and get five different
answers and probably all those answers are just recycled theories heard from 5
other people...Frustrating to someone like myself who likes to think I know a
little something about aquatic life, I can only imagine what an end user thinks
with this barrage of conflicting info I have to tell you I about fell out of my
chair when I found that this system relies on Laterite and kitty litter, I have
used these products for many a years with great success when planting marginal
aquatics for bogs etc.(I also am a huge fan of the mesh baskets) I always
assumed it was the use of plants that removed nitrates that was the sole reason
of my success with this theory....learning more about the chemistry behind
these products makes me that much more of a believer....You will always find
opposition with this theory as it does not really sell a product and puts
manufacturers and dealers of supposed "highline" filtration basically
out of business if it really is true. Heck I contribute to the vicious
cycle by bringing these products on to our site just like everyone else because
in the end I am here to sell product....But as a self-proclaimed "Pond
Nerd" I am also here to learn and share positive information to unite this
hobby not destroy it. All the best to you and thanks for a great read, you've
got my mind swarming with thoughts of pond experimenting...My wife is going to
kill me if I change the pond one more time....might have to send her shopping
for a weekend! LOL

fullest and certainly will lead to its demise..." By a man much smarter
