removing nitrates from my 300 gallon indoor pond

[kevincanada]

i used a hydroponic kit with a pump on a timer. this shows the intial setup and then a pic from this morning. nitrates read 0 and fish are super happy and healthy. i find it cleaner and easier than having the roots in with fish. they previously ate the roots of a taro plant on the side so i figured this would solve that issue at least.

cheers

It’s nice how you post the solution to a problem instead of asking for one. Hats off to you 😏

Just curious, but What kind of fish are in the pond and what were your nitrates at before the hydroponics kit?

Koi and goldfish and Jack Dempsey. I set up at start of pond so I don't have any pre numbers. Cheers
