I also use green water in my ponds and some of my aquariums. Using green water does not mean that you have no work to do.  There are more bacterias and harmful elements more than in regular Japanese systems (not Thai) of keeping goldfish. You have to either add good bacteria or clean the surface often.  I also have a three ton pond (outside with roof) that I use for my ranchu. The pond is 7 meters long and about 2 meters wide. It is a very big green water system. Even with such a big green water system, I still have to do a lot of work to upkeep the pond.  Doing no choirs is a sure way to make my fish sick.  This is from about 10 years of experience of keeping ranchus in different enviroment.  I have personally tried every systems that are available in the market, already.  And I mean everything.

My experience is from practices not from text books. I also use green water in my aquarium (smaller sytem, 7feet long tank) for my cicchlids, but it also require a lot of work too. I hope that my experience will be valuable to some. cheers.

Hi

The discussion is getting interesting...I am one of those who are interested in starting green water and have heard lots of good things abt it...

Currently, I am practising 80% water change 3~4 days... with daily addition of water (2 big pail). with filtration system.

I discover that with a lot of hard work and very regular water change, I am able to increase the intensity of my number of fish per gallon and my fish grow well. I am able to get good coloration and growth rate, I do get 4~5 hrs of sun a day. However, I am unable to compare to green water because I am have not tried that before.

Could u comment on your personal preference between the Thai way & Jap way ?
