Koi Pond - Filter vs. Fish
There are many different types of filters available today for koi ponds to be cleaned regularly. Rotting fish pond and debris must be removed from the filter, rinsed and cleaned with a garden hose - an intense, smelly, dirty, disgusting job if there ever was one!
Biological filters are designed to filter particles and organic substances. Through the use of anaerobic bacteria laden filter material, a bio-filter breaks down harmful toxic substances inharmless by-products. Koi ponds occupied, without a biofilter is an environment harmful to its inhabitants as a consequence of the development of the construction of fish waste, decaying leaves and other pond creatures and debris that have settled to the bottom.
The size of the bio-filter in a koi pond is directly proportional to the number of fish per gallon. The fish waste more and more the bigger the filter being used. Do you really need a filter? Not necessarily the guys - if notfollow the guidelines of nature. Natural lakes and reservoirs do not have mechanical biofilter and are home to many fish healthy. However, if the koi carp begin to overpopulate the lake and short of food, they would thin out, of course, until the population was small enough to be supported by their environment.
This hypothetical overpopulation would cause an imbalance in the nitrogen cycle with the production of nitrite from waste koi too. Then, the increase of water pHwould be an algae bloom that could fill the lake and choke to create the koi carp.
Koi ponds can be controlled mechanically and chemically, to allow a greater number of koi fish per gallon, as this can be found in nature. There are many formulas to dictate the correct number of koi carp pond can contain one, if you koi carp for every square meter of surface per cubic meter koi, koi fish per gallon, pounds per gallon or pounds per cubic foot charge. The bottom line is this: healthyThe water meets koi fish healthy. If the water is fish-friendly, the number is insignificant, within reasonable limits.
If the clean air, and if you had to take enough food and water and a healthy way, you could live in a small house with 30 other people and stay reasonably healthy, except for one thing: stress. Koi fish are like humans in this way. If it gets too full, try the koi carp koi pond and a few actually leave, but they have not achieved much. When koi areJumping from a koi pond, not because they have an exploration of nature, the Koi pond is too tight or the water quality is less desirable.
FILTER TECHNOLOGY
The man-made devices were the natural parameters set by nature, so that the pond koi more lives than you would normally support. The biological filtration is the best way to achieve this goal. The most advanced technology, the more effective is its ability to treat water.
There are so manyvarious types and configurations of filters, as people want to get rich off the production and marketing of proprietary filters. Almost all of the koi pond or water garden magazine contains more publicity than any other product of the filter. Which is best? Let us first discuss the different types that are available.
The most common filters are the up-flow, low flow, diving, recycling and printing types. The most common problem that affects the operation of the filteris channeling. Water is always the path of least resistance. The filters use a variety of filter media or material for the water to pass through. Water pond contains a large amount of particulate matter that collects in the filter medium, which may block or plug the gap between the material. If this happens, the water available to another location, to distract them, even the hooves. Finally, the water flows a permanent channel, avoiding the filtration can accommodate upthe media removed, cleaned and replaced.
In the case of a down-flow filter, is based on the principle of gravity, such as pressure and flow front. So when the media begins to clog, gravity is not sufficient for the water filtered through the available channel at the same rate that water is pumped through the force so that paid back to the overflow drain in the pond koi.
The filters more efficient and maintenance-free filters that have come under pressure, an undertowFeature. A bio-filter contains filter material on the nitrifying bacteria are, and to reduce the toxic nitrites into nitrates less toxic, which can be used by aquatic plants. As a result, the surfaces are no longer available per square centimeter of material, the more effective the filter. The current technology developed by Aqua Ultraviolet produces special hex beads for their press-filter with the largest maximum area available to all existing filterMedia. They are tapered so that the pearls of rare group together.
Back washing forces water through the filter in the opposite direction, the separation of solid material and flushing after free drainage. Or with the use of a ribbed hose, is high in nitrogen wastewater for lawns, trees or flowers will attract. Maintenance involves a simple rotation of the handle for about 1-2 minutes. Filter flow or down lift and submersible pumps requires the removal andCleaning of all media outlets closed, and then returning to the filter - a process very messy and dirty.
Unfortunately, under pressure, back-washable filters are expensive and large projects for use with out-of-pond pumps, which are necessary to provide sufficient back washing the filter was designed. Therefore, it is necessary that the high maintenance costs to settle, the less efficient down flow or up-flow filter for smaller ponds up to 300 liters.
If you are one of those people now have, or areReflections on building a small koi pond I have great news for you! Thirty years ago, when I started in this business, there were some small pond filters. But with the advent of the pond ship in the early nineties, each began with his brother-in-law down-flow filter production in the garage. Without a marketing plan, the quality of capital or technical, the most hidden of all fly-by-night-by-the-seat-of-pants back alley hopes filter. A filter for 250 gallons koiPond range from $ 160 - $ 200 for 1000 liters Koi Pond, $ 300 - $ 400 and 2000 liters for a koi pond filter from $ 500 - $ 600.
Koi happy, peace and joy.
