I am using Ehfisubstrate in both trays. In the top tray there are also a handful of ceramic rings mixed in. Bayshore water is a little on the hard side but usually never changes. I have a fire station on the next road so the are constantly opening up the hydrants to […]
What are you using for media in the Eheim? Have you ever tested your KH and/or DH? If so, how have they changed, if at all? Do you measure your pH at approximately the same time of day?

I don’t see much mention of efficiency in the pond pump discussions. The topic originator had to replace an existing pond pump, and couldn’t wait very long to get a replacement in place.
We’re using a Laguna Max Flo 2400 (submersible pump which can handle small solids, enclosed in a cage) which is […]
Please forgive the commercial post - but these are not usually available at your local Wal-Mart……
The FLOW METER looks like an upside down test tube attached on top of a horizontal pipe. As the water rushes past it thru the pipe, it has a little thingee that rises up the tube to indicate how […]

Thought I’d share with the group my near loss of pond, recovery, and lesson learned. Specs. 1,700 Gal. pond, Performance Pro 1/4-49 pump, Ultima II 2,000 filter and Aqua UV 80W. Aloha Oregon, near Portland. 6 total KOI about 100″.
Trouble began when the water was more green than it should have been. […]
It never ceases to amaze me what some LFS have never heard of with regard to what I consider to be fairly common equipment, live stock, or plants.
It is fairly easy to make one yourself, though it will require some cutting and a bunch of drilling to do so. Before you do that, however, take […]
Lenny already gave you a pretty good outline of the nitrogen cycle, also called the biological cycle. Tests are available for measuring ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. You can buy a master test kit which contains those three, and a few others for much less than buying each separately.
Please note that pH is always lower case […]
Leave your pH alone. There is no need to aim for a neutral pH level. pH does not mean that much in the overall scheme of things, ,but rapid pH changes can adversely affect your fish.
Did you establish a nitrogen cycle prior to adding all those fish to your tank? If not, then this is […]
Here are some of the things I discovered.
1. I got the new shipment of koi 96 3 1/2″ to 5″ Koi from Japan tweo weeks ago. I put them imidiatly into a 200 gallon holding tank for observation. As with al new shipments of gish I treated them wim Fruan […]
