The Aquascape Ecosystem Fine wines get better with age ... the same can be said about your new water feature! Be patient with the new addition to your landscape - it’s going to look better and be easier to maintain with every season. The filter system is designed around the foundation of a balanced ecosystem. The ultimate goal is to have nature do the work ... not you! It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen. Don’t be surprised if your new water garden begins to grow algae.

The Biofalls® Filter/Endless Cascade™ The Biofalls® Filter (or Endless Cascade™) is the starting point of your waterfall. The filter mats and filter media provide a “home” for the beneficial bacteria to live; helping clean the pond and provide crystal clear water. The Biofalls® Filter (or Endless Cascade™) is designed to require once a year cleaning when used in combination of a skimmer or MicroPondless™ Vault.

Fall and Winter Maintenance Water clarity is usually at its best in the fall because of fewer battles with algae. It truly is an enjoyable time of year. Here are some things that you can do to keep your water garden looking good. • When your water temperature gets down around 50 F° (10° C) or so, stop feeding your fish. If you continue feeding them, you could cause major health problems for your little aquatic friends.
