To start off medicating is a place you really don’t want bee. This is way to put it simple a Quarantine should = small pond always up and running just (for most off us) designed for smaller loads (cm Nishikigoi). Self-made problems will (roughly in 99.9%) reflect off how well you get this in to your system either by design or plain labour.

Now back to medical environment. For us the concept off medication and proper biological always kind off feels wrong.

We have gone by it with smaller unit where circulation helps O2 input and remove solids. This is for low maintenance removal. Level and price is really something off an individual choice, but we have kept it down to mechanical removal and 4-6 flushes daily. If you are free manually, if not there are lots automated valves and timers with second at lowest unit out there (that’s where we are at present). If your really a hard nail continuously feed of fresh preheated with right medicating dose is preferable.

The best thing we have managed so fare is preheating in elevated volume this volume is medicate manually once every day and dosed in automatically. With all medication volume and time off reduction is everything. We have not the nerve to fully automate medication. Test with Nishikigoi free set-up has given good results just using drop valves and infusion bags. (the type they use at hospitals for intravenous feed). Let the system run one full 24 hours and calculate adjust for low/high level on the timer.

NB! We elevate temperature when medicating and feed off the top shelf. Will leave both things up to the reader but 30°C and shrimp, salmon, earthworms, company are all in our vocabulary.

Have a better day and do hope you never will need an hospital-tank
