JR... that was one of the most hilariously relevant things I've read in a long time. Bravo!

I must say I've really enjoyed the banter on this thread, so much less vindictive and abusive than some of the other threads.

Keep it going George/Val/JR/Papa.

Come on George, find out what BHM is made of please.

JR - second episode should be good, loved episode 1.

Papabear : One last question (digression). Did the unused brain belong to an engineer or an attorney? I've heard it both ways and was hoping you could settle it .

I better not confirm the answer as I have been receiving phone calls not to reveal what may be their industrial secret.

Assuming the water source as the only origin of the nitrates in my case how soon is the nitrate level expected to drop after I stop my usual water change?

When do you all think I should start by-passing my existing filters? It has been coming to 5 weeks since I started the BS/BH.

Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

Thanks, dtbh.

I did a check on my nitrate level after your earlier post. My pond nitrate level measured 12.5 ppm. Tap water nitrate level measured 12.5 ppm. Not satisfied I did a check on RO water it also measured 12.5 ppm. Even my distilled water measured 12.5 ppm. Now I am very doubful of my test kit.

I suggest u carry out a couple of test to verify the accuracy of your test kit so that the measurement would be accurate.

How soon to by pass the existing filter ? I would suggest that you only by pass your existing filter after a slim coat has formed on the BH media. An indication of matured filter media.

JR you gotta be kidding

Hi guys

I have been rather busy lately and thus decided to leave this thread alone but followed it everyday.

One I have not seen JGeorge insult anyone except Val and JR surprise, surprise.

Its the same two people on every board that starts the same old s..t about bacteria house.

I know for a fact that JG is not doing a disservice to momotaro, Brian, Daisuke or Mr Maeda.

Its rather funny hearing it coming from the two biggest anti momotaro people around. JR you and Val not only bash the media but you discredit the achievements of momotaro koi farm, and have openly insulted them on public (more val than JR) and called them lies and scammers

JR you posess a lot of great knowledge but you are the most ironical person i have ever met on the web. But I got to give it to you, you are damn good at kissing japanese breeders asses and shining their shoes and also back stabbing and insulting them with your absolute knowledge of asian culture and their beliefs in mythical things.

Val not that you ever remember but alot of the literature posted on previous threads with FIR noted that the biological effect is due to the reduction of water clusters in the cells.

Plastic biomedia placed in an 8 ft tall trickle tower reduces nitrate levels in a test pond formally run with Jmat only. Therefore plastic media emits FIR---

Sorry all, two cups of coffee this morning!


So the 'two great thinkers' and peddlers of FIR myth here, need to supply 'this dope' with some information. As I understand your many explanations, BH is a ceramic that is exposed to temps over 1200 degrees F and these ingredients, plus the heat, create a nugget that can:

1) emit FIR into the surrounding water perpetually like no other material.
2) FIR emitted from BH reduce organics to nothingness.
3) improve the molecular makeup of water by changing water clusters and oxygen levels on the molecular level.
4) and you didn't say this but the cartoon ad implies it- that organic consuming bugs on the inside of the media denitrify water, reducing nitrate and eliminating organic content directly from the water.

Is that about right? Now boys, just answer the question- no insults or reams of Internet chatter or back peddling--- just a YES, NO or simple RESTATING OF the -- gulp--- FACTS/CLAIMS!
