QUOTE(square_guy @ Sun 04 Jul 2004 04:04 PM) QUOTE(top_view_ranchu @ Sun 04 Jul 2004 10:03 AM) I presume its the sunlight & ceramics. Infect I do a 100 % change everytime. But do not wash ceramic too thoroughtly. green water start coming back the 2nd day. If I seed water, the next change will be pretty soon. did you check your pH? green water and normal biofiltration don't usually go hand-in-hand. It is likely that the biofiltration in the filter is non-existent. Or you could simply be standing on a knife edge of a delicate balance between the green water and bb (not very likely). The pond do looks like a nice display pond. why don't you clear away the green water and go the filter-way? Gotta upgrade your filter, but it will allow higher stocking than is possible with green water. QUOTE(Allan @ Sun 04 Jul 2004 05:28 PM) tvr Has your IOS filter matured? How's the nitrate level like in your pond? If your filter is matured, you should get some readings of nitrate in your green water, but unlike a typical biological filtration, the nitrate level doesn't accumulate aggressively. Hi Bros, Just taken PH and nitrate level. Nitrate : below 10 PH : 6.5 Added BS immediately, but slowly as HB had mention. 2nd take Nitrate same PH : 7.5 Please tell me what are the consequences of long term low PH? |
