Algfagrog is what we call a pond filter biomedium… bacteria grow on the surface and these bacteria in turn purify the pond water keeping fish healthy in a pond environment. I got this email from one of my newsletter readers and it has a general appeal so I’m publishing it here.Hi AnthonyAs a new subscriber, […]
