Trying to see them on day one can just about give somebody a headache. But If I get close and gently move the spawning material, I can easily see...

Good evening folks I know what they say no pictures it didn't happen well this is going to be one of those updates, these last two days during the...

Get yourself a complete test kit, preferably drop type like the API kits, ammonia, nitrite, high range pH, and KH. If you are going to transfer, be...

Increasing the KH will usually increase the bio colonies as the pH is stable morning to evening, which is easier on the fish. All filters go through...

It depends on what kind of system you want. I use the vortex filters to make the bead filter's job easier and more efficient because it doesn't get...

I would aerate the water as much as you can, maybe do a 25% water change. Sometimes when you clean the pond you disturb the sediment and can cause...

The grey spot on the back? You can either treat with iodine once and observe, or get tricideneo, mix with fish slime, and rub it in the area, and...

So here's what I meant, my waterfall has algae/moss growth and I can tell they are trapping debris and making the water clear, because periodically...

Those particles are quite big and suspended so filtering them out should be easy. The trick is working out how to clean your filters easily....

Did you add a seive and bead filter onto the RDF or did you replace the RDF? Did it reduce or increase maintenance time?

I imagine it works similarly to the DIY nexus filters I’ve just recently come across. I do like the convenience and form factor of an all in one but...

Im not an expert on anything but did do some research on bead filters as I recently had to purchase one and a couple of points I found: 1. I...

That is a pretty amazing setup, unfortunately I don't have the space and the filtration setup is actually inside of an indoor utility room. ...

Goldfish have a much smaller biomass (less biological filtration demand) and don't stir up the bottom sediment as much as KOI (simpler mechanical...

For sinking media, look towards PETE which is polyethylene terephthalate. It has a density of 1.38-1.39 gm/ml. Unfortunately biofilm will still...
