Thanks much Fishmover and icu2. Yes icu2 I have a drain in the S&G and can't wait to discover any goodies that collect in the bottom. Being...

Imo I think it should work fine without the sieve. I would be sure that a priming pot and basket be used before the pump with nothing between the...

You will be perfectly fine with the S&G filter, and will be glad you saved a few bucks by not having the sieve. It really would be overkill with the...

My build is in the final stages and I have a couple questions. First, I can have a very compact system in my particular space if I eliminate the...

you must have some good suppliers That is true, but nonetheless caveat emptor. I have never set foot in Japan (yet). So while one has to have...

Pretty sure the zakki is the only option for a pump fed sieve, others are all gravity. If your going gravity the ultrasieve 3 is pretty compact.

I actually have the same question, only for a much smaller pond. It's in our front patio, and there is no room for a S&G/zakki set up. We did do a...

Bloating can be a sign of several things: - Overfeeding (bloating would occur over time) - Bad body conformation (genetics; over time) - Eggs...

Yes, gravity fed so the top of the sieve is an inch or two above max pond level. Example of mine in a filter pit and feeds a pressure filter and...

On Oct. 8 I got in the shipment of 33 eggs that I had ordered. One egg had already hatched when i got it, and it is doing fine. Three eggs were not...

RDFs or drum filters can be either Gravity or pump fed, with Gravity being easier from a maintenance perspective. Sieves are traditionally gravity...

Thank you Jim! So I'm wondering if I did something wrong with this fish. Overfed? Kind of food? Or is this just bad genetics? Love to know how...

Thank you very much, more like a Kin Ki Matsuba, isn't it? think I would have to go for it, especially because in my country, the supply of koi is...

IMHO, too dark for so young. I don't think the color is going to hold and you will get the traditional yellow you want in a yamabuki but a dark...

The bigger the settlement volume, the better. Slower the water velocity the quicker the dirt settles out. Draw through, rather than push...

I went with an Anjon 45mil. I don't remember where I specifically ordered from, but it would have been eBay/Amazon/Walmart.com. Essentially just...

Yes, I see the Kage now. Especially in the younger photo. Very nice job of getting the bodies to develop on the Kohakus and Shiro. Not much hope...

What kind of drum filter is it, that will help determine which manual. In general the concept is the same for most RDFs, the float switch position...

Do any one know where can I get a install manual on how to install gravity feed unit?

I am not familiar with sieves or drums as someone else suggested. I did look into the UltraSieve III you mentioned, if I understand the mechanics...

Not a bad looking homegrown fish. I have a bad pattern showa that is homegrown and a kohaku that I cant muster up the courage to rehome.
