hey stephen/JR
I am not here hiding the fact that I am the momotaro agent of australia, but as you all well know that australia doesnn import koi and the koi industry is small. I still have my day job as i will never see being a momotaro agent here in Australia ever capable of earning me a living :crybaby:, I wish it did. Whether I sell a little more bacteria house or a lot more bacteria house makes not much difference to me I just love the hobby. I am only 25 and not at a retiring age and depend my pension on this business. I don't normally post on this board but since you didn't post on koi bito I had to post here, can't seem to get an account on NI to post there.
JR no I don't have the report to be quite honest, never asked for one. Mike may have one, I have a feeling it wasnt done in english but I guarantee that there is one, does that help ? Do you know someone that can read fluent scientific japanese terms for you JR.
JR you keep asking for science of what it does, and I keep asking for science of your scepticsm and whether you can prove it . I haven got a english report but at least there is one, can you bring up one report that says it doesn't emit FIR? The other member posted that you could bring BH to a geology department and get them to test the FIR emission and water conductivity. And he reckons to do a proper test to find what FIR would do with these filters and long term fish growth would cost millions, I can't comment on that but I look forward to whatever you are trying to test.
So what is this test method of yours JR, I know you wouldn try to setup some stupid experiment to try and prove BH doesn't work. I think everyone is very interested. Are you going to stick to what maurice recommend or what momotaro recommends? I think to be fair you should really follow the flow rates that momotaro recommends go for three times turnover an hour pull from bottom drain and skimmer and do normal water changes that is realistic for the given load. I know you are the guru and there is no need for me to tell you how to test it, but I and every bakki supporter would like to see you do it the way its recommended. How long will you run the test for at least a year I hope cause ultimately you want to see the result in the fish. What are the parameters you are trying to monitor, it wouldn be fun for the rest of us if you just kept it secret
I read in NI (I still cant post there) you keep going on and on about the tap being beside the pond, and I can't understand the point you are chasing after . Are you still on about the must have golden rule of ten percent water add in (I thought we all talked about it already, at least on Koi Bito) or were you just trying to let the rest of the folks know its convenient to have a tap near the pond.
I am glad to see that whatever has been posted by UK and asia posters has nothing new for you JR though its interesting :heyhey: , it goes to show that it does what it says from day one, don't you think ?
And in regards to your continuos post of that lovely picture of the longest running bakki shower and bacteria house at momotaro, its really a nice picture I don't see whats wrong with it.
best regards
