Are you gents/ladies using oil soluble or water soluble paprika powder? O haven't tried paprika but I do use small sun dried shrimp - sold in Asian...

Have you purchased a hose timer yet? I use a circular mechanical hose timer that dials for different time increments. They are quite cheap and...

Cindy, your Impatiens look awesome and beautiful. Well done. :)

I think so too, how cool would it be to have a tancho shiro?

Do you have the Combi or regular? Do you find that the clean side has any particulates or does it clean all of it?

The thing is I don't even fill the pond to the top anyway. And it's a small skimmer that I don't think would hold more than 10-15 gallon, and the I...

I suspect there is a low spot around the pond, or at the weir for the skimmer, that is just at the right level to hold all of the water with the...

Keep an eye open for ammonia not that it's going to spike but it's not going too hurt to check it every other day for atleast a week and I would cut...

Btw another name used for kujaku is hariwake Matsuba. However only here at HKF do we use kujaku to call the metallic version and Matsuba hariwake to...

UPDATE: So, out of my 37 koi I lost 2. The others are acting normal again and eating. Should I still be concerned? Could gill damage show up...

Oh good call out. Thanks, I will do that.

Most of us have done it. More than once. Keep perfect water and watch ammonia ph and nitrites. You probably knocked back your biofilter. Have...

The dark base ones are the ones headed in the Goshiki direction, now you have to wait a good while to see what the (kuro) black is going to do,...

Lower temp, lower metabolism. Just like the fish.

You could always just start with fish that are 2-4" long. It'll cycle on its own before the ammonia levels get anywhere close to dangerous for the...

Following! I have a Profi Drum and I’m very happy with it. Always interested to see if anything else matches up. Doug - out
