Please take a nuamber if you already have not taken one. Our resident
lunatic Carol Gulley aka Koi Lo will be with you shortly just as soon
as she does a quick web check to gather up and copy paste and modify
theinfo to make it look like she wrote it, all the info your
requesting so you all think she is so smart........however take what
ever info she may lay on you with a grain of salt, and hopefully some
one like Roy or Jan will get finished with whatever they are doing in
the real world of ponds and answer your post....Whatever you do , just
do not second guess her and ask her why she said what she may have
said or else it may cause her to bo off the rocker, and it just takes
so miuch to get her to chill out once her panties get all wadded
up......The maina thing is just agree and say yes, and then go on a
decent webased forum like Themudpond.com or koiphen.com and ask this
question, see some good illustrations and pics instread of trying to
visulaize what someone is saying and have faith in what is told to you
in those web based forums, instead of a washe dup and trashed ponding
forum on the usenet in the midst of a jihad created by CArol Gulley
aka Koi Lo.

You don't need a "bio" filter if there's no life in the pond. In fact
there's basically nothing to support a bio filter without living creatures
in the water. Just about any appropriately sized pool filter will do the
trick. As for keeping down algae, well without life in the pond just add
chlorine etc as necessary.

*Note: There are two "Koi-Lo's" on the pond and aquaria groups.

=======================
You don't need a bio filter unless you have fish, turtles or something in
your pond. To keep mosquitoes away you can run a small inexpensive pump
with a spray head of some kind. This will also keep the water from
stagnating and give a pleasant sound and movement.

You do not need a biological filter, unless you have fish, turtles or something in your pond. In order for mosquitoes away from you can run a little cheaper with some form of sprinkler pump. This will also remain stagnant, so that water from a pleasing sound and movement.

Now, the use of plant nitrate and phosphate fertilizers, and if you do not provide enough water to plants than the Koi fish, "hard" algae and "free floating " algae use nitrate and phosphate Salt reproduction. The key is to prevent this situation, known as the "water bloom", is to provide sufficient nonsoil bearing plants, such as lettuce, water hyacinth competition of nitrate and phosphate.
