QUOTE(Absolute Ranchu @ Sat 17 Apr 2004 05:34 PM)
The bacteria sold all have similar characteristics, and they do not use oxygen to breath. (The products are advertised as such, even the one from the States).

I use bacteria to battle the bad things that may happen. I do not use live feeds with my large fish, because the risk of lost is too high,and they do not really need it to really grow big. I ciphon in fresh water at regular intervals to reduces the possibility of soil water. One hot afternoon in the sun, my pond (if it has a bad virus, for example)will be filled with that virus, more and more as the day progress.  My filtration system can only take care of certain negative elements and organisms, not all.  If you leave regular water in the sun for a few days, it will start to soil, due to many reasons.  My pond is outside and is exposed to more things than most of the tanks inside.  The same reason, however, works in your tank as well.  Why wouldn't it? Changing the water too many time sytematically can lead to the degrading of the fish scales condition, and color. When I think of my pond,I often think of it as my biological experiment.

Have you ever cultures germs in the lab. Our ponds and tanks are a lot like these cultured experiments, as well. All the measures that I use are all used in combination to minimize all risks for my fish.

what's the name of this product ? need to find if on the shelves in singapore. or do you have a weblink?

any other alternative product or methods besides using the bacteria?

u said it.. my outdoor tub has flower petals, dead insects, dog hair laugh.gif Real nuisance. Dunno will bird shit on it or not. sometimes i catch my dog drinking out of my tub too, maybe will have more shiny coat biggrin.gif

Many of us do weekly change. Probably once a while suck off dirt and top up. Would it be better, in your practise, that we do a once a day to suck off the dirts to keep the water clean ?

As most of us using filter, it's quite difficult to clean the filter daily. Quite troublesome. washing just one chamber of my pond filter already takes 1/2hr

I don't see any filter in your ponds. What's the filter system u are talking about ? could u provide photos please? thanks


other than computer virus, that could be the best "germs" i come about. regret i never pay attention during sci lessons, lab stuffs too chim to understand. sad.gif
