Hi guys
Some of you may know I am moving to sydney very soon, in a few day s from now as a result I have had to pull my 30 ton pond apart
The pond has only been running for a year and fully functional for 9 months. Anyway I decided to take out the bacteria house and let them dry in the shade under my pergoda. I thought 2 days should be enough. I needed to ship them to sydney in 10 days time so I thought if i start now it should only take 2 days.
2 days came by and the bacteria house still felt damp, I decided to wait a whole week. When 1 week passed i took out ten kg of new bacteria house which was the only ten kg among 160kg or old bacteria house. to my surprise the bacteria house weighed 16kg, now take away 1kg for the box it came in thats still 15kg and the bacteria house was still slightly damp on the outside.
I have dried it now for 2 days in full sun spread out in a single layer and its still 12kg (minus box) With discovering that I feel safe knowing my filter will still work after a week of no electricity (if it happens).
