My shower water comes through UltraSieveIII units with 200micron screens. Maybe not as good as an RDF; but, I don't have to clean out the water distribution box or the top tray of H1 ceramics in...

The foam at the shower had frozrn this morning. Pond water is 55F. We usually don't see something like that in ATL until after New Year. May have to put the cover on the pond early this year. ...

You are welcome. Matting is not nearly as good as ceramic media. But I had to use matting when my first choice of ceramic media started turning to mush. The matting gave me time to find a better...

This thread is around 9 years old. Original posters not likely to reply.

Air lift was a hot topic many years ago. But does not seem to fit with newer mechanical stages such as sieves or RDFs. The same goes for bio conversion units such as showers. It should work for...

You might want to cover a shower box this winter to minimize heat loss. One option is to use insulated tarps. Another option is to build a box around the shower. The box shown in the pictures is made...

For those that do not know, on the Facebook page "Koi Keepers of North America", some of the US dealers who are in Japan are posting both videos and still photos of koi they have purchased and will...

Does anyone know or have read how long it takes in warm water after a koi has eaten before the corresponding ammonia starts to be produced and the food completely transits the gut with the release of...

They could be facing a tough week with the hurricane that is supposed to go up the coast from Florida to North Carolina.

Still using the H1 in the shower trays. Happy camper.

She is swimming and eating with the rest. I just got some JPD food from Carl this weekend. I have mixed the Shori high protein with the Fujizakura health food and started everyone on that...

Excellent post Mike. Bottom line...nitrates are toxic too.

Koi, like most animals, can develop tumors. Our chagoi had one growing from under the operculum (gill plate). So today I knocked her out with a gracious plenty of oil of cloves, excised the tumor...

And with the new show awards added for non-gosankes a good Hikiari or Doitsu can indeed win a major award.

I have gotten into the 3 Hikari show classes. Some very beautiful and elegant koi are to be found there.

CFKS was again a great experience run by a super team. Even the flood of 2019 (water main break) did not slow the show! There were some fantastic koi to be seen in the show bowls and excellent...

Excellent set of posts on a tough topic.

Headed that way in the very early hours of Friday. My koi will be there hours before I arrive. ;)

Thanks Brian!

You should be headed to Orlando!!!

Finally got a Seneye Pond Pack installed yesterday. pH is little higher than I would have guessed. But no risk of pH crash. Temp will hopefully increase this week. I took the cover off the pond...

The company is have a 4th of July sale. Using the promo code "20blast", plus the sale price.....I just ordered 80 pounds of Super Food delivered, with sales tax, for $155.14. That is just a few...

Aquadyne is a very good brand. I have used them for...

How much does the float move in routine use? As much as the water depth changes during the week.

It probably not noticeable in one day, but after weeks, u might see it has gone up inches. The...

Yes that is why Cetus and USIII have floats that adjust the weir height. The weirs heights are not fixed.

For the two Cetus sieves I used to have and the two UltraSieves I have now....you install the sieves with the tops of the units around 1/2-1" above full pool level of the pond....so they do not...
