      I've had great results from Momotoro Bacteria House media in my koi pond. It's a cylindrical ceramic media that the momotoro koi farm uses as their only filtration material in the show ponds. I haven't noticed or heard of any break down of the media in my 1+ year of use

      Joey. You used to be all about the fluidized filter media life, do you still use it? If not why have you converted?

    Would be cool to add solenoid valves onto those green water change hoses you have. You could then link them all to a main drain pipe at the back of the sump area and make draining water super easy. I know you've said before it doesn't take you all that much time but would be a cool project

      Research what you want to keep, learn about the nitrogen cycle, buy a tank big enough for the fish you want, cycle the tank and go nuts.

  • @Helveteshit
    @Helveteshit 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @The king of DIY , Can you potentially explore the idea of setting a reverse light cycle on one of your sumps and place Potted plants inside. See how it affects the overall quality of those particular tanks in terms of PH and similar?

    • @2869may

    Thank you so much for your video! I loved it. I always head to ur Chanel when I need things explained, I have learing disabilities and this can sometimes seem jumbled up. But ur videos I not only get information about the projects I'm working on for my 20 fish tanks...but you always make me smile. I loved in the last video u just started throwing the boxes 😄 🤣. Do you have any videos for saltwater sump with a refugium? Thank you again so much 💖

    Captain Hook looks like he has become very comfortable in his new home. Every Oscar I have ever had has a personality different from others. Has he showed anything of his likes and/or dislikes? Does he recognize you? Once one of my Oscars didn't eat one of the gold fish feeders I had given him. They were buddies for a long time. I love Oscars. I am finding it hard not to get another one.

    • @saileshstha1118
      @saileshstha1118 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's better to get Oscar from small size and feed them with proper food.. will bring out the patterns more

    • @jenniferkleczka4062
      @jenniferkleczka4062 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sailesh StHa yes I know that. I enjoy getting babies and watching them grow. I also didn't feed him only feeders. He ate other types of food. He liked getting something new. One of my other Oscars loved crawfish tails and the dry food. He didn't like the feeders much.

  • @DTrain0317
    @DTrain0317 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Because of you, I will be running three aquariums on one heating/oxygenating/filtration system. It will be a series of plastic jars with three pumps and splitters going to them (pumps from each aquarium). 2 for different kinds of filtering, 1 for heating, 1 for oxygenating . Everything is going to be done outside of my aquariums so they will look all pretty inside and disturb the fish as little as possible. I also figured I would have a splitter system with shutoff valves so I could maximize the use of the pumps to changing the water too. Shut off the filter system, and turn on the water draining system using the pumps to drain it. I don't want to pay that much for an inline heater, so I figure once they all cycle through a few times, all of them could be heated by that one jar and cheap little heater.

    Have you thought of a way to cover sumps to avoid evaporation? It might be a bit tricky with the plumbing but I'm sure you could just notch out some spots in the greenhouse paneling and that would do the trick.
