There is a product called Bacteria House being used by Koi lovers which claims to be an excellent biofiltration medium

'Bacteria House is made from ceramic and fired in a kiln at 1,300 C. The media is extremely porous which provides ample surface area for bacteria to colonize in. And the far-infrared radiation is very high from bacteria House. Using it in conjunction with the Bakki Shower makes for a excellent bio-filtration system, which requires vert little if any cleaning. All waste is consumed by the bacteria in the filter.'

Check it out at Momotaro Koi website.
I am not sure if anyone in S'pore has tried it out ....
Maybe it might work well for goldfish as well but it is $$$$$!

Erm... what are you refering to? smile.gif

I think Momotaro koi has a local agent here - MAX KOI FARM in Lim Chu Kang.
Am not sure if they sell the Bacteria House.

It's 10ppm higher than I predicted?  Goosh!

Tomorrow it will be 110 ppm and it's only day 4 after water change.  Siao leow.

Your above contigency plan is flawed. 

Have you figured out the right corrective action to take?  unsure.gif

hb, i goodboy alr.

1. change 80% of water last night.

2. surface area of sump tank in last compartment is filled with water hycinth, lettuce and guan yin teck now with one small mollie swimming inside to prevent mosquito laying eggs inside.

3. slop in sechem dinitrate matrix in both stagnant part of sump and drip tray.

4. transfer 3 ranchus out to another to lessen the load.

will measure again tonight. if still don work, donno what to do alr cry.gif
