Description of operating system: Bob's system is a 4,400 gallon, fully recirculating system, about five feet deep throughout. The bottom drain serves a 6 cu. ft. bead filter via a Turbo Vortex and a 1/2 hp centrifugal pump. The outlet from the filter is sent through a high-intensity UV and then split between return to the falls and a protein extractor, which in turn feeds a bioreactor and back to the falls. The skimmer serves a 4 cu. ft. dual-phase bead filter via a 1/3 hp Sequence pump. Outlet from this is split between return to the pond and the protein extractor/bioreactor array. The system is easy to maintain, and supports about 30 big to medium Koi in good health.

RESTRICTED PLANTS: Some states have bans on certain pond plants. Check the USDA Noxious Plants website prior to purchase. The buyer needs to beware of any regulations on plants that may be restricted. If your order gets confiscated by your state agriculture department we cannot be held responsible.
CLIMATE VARIATIONS: We guarantee our plants will arrive alive and healthy. Pond Plants grow differently depending on where you live. If you took pond plants of the same type, and planted them in different parts of the USA, each plant would grow differently. This is Mother Nature at work. We cannot guarantee that your climate will support long term growth as this varies by location. With experience you will find which pond plants thrive in your USDA Zone. Join our Pond, Watergarden and Plant Forum and ask some questions before you buy is the best advice we can give you.
SUBSTITUTIONS: We reserve the right to substitute similar plants of equal or greater value unless you specifically request otherwise in the remarks section of your order. This happens almost never though, and if it does happen it is usually in regard to floating and submerged oxygenation plants.
