Nice power packed comm in crystal clear water. Can share your water change regime also?

[mrnyunus]

Interesting comm bro..wads ur wc regime like n any chemical products u use to maintain water parameters?

Got chance showcase your filter setup so can learn from you?

Thanks for all the comments.

The filtration system is very simple, consists of mechanical filtration, biological filtration, and chemical stage.

Mechanical filtration
- 3D setup, layered. Capturing particles in stages by size, from big to small.
- Cleaning the medias every two to three days, depend on the type of feeds.
- Changing the medias weekly.
- Add Biozym during every cleaning to maintain nitrification capacity.

Biological filtration
- First compartment, nitrification. Momotaro Bacteria House, submerged, cross arrangement to enable turbulence flow.
- Second compartment, nitrification. Mr. Aqua CR in netting, loosely pack to allow flexibility in arrangement.
- Third compartment, nitrification and denitrification. Biohome+ in netting, loosely pack to allow flexibility in arrangement.
- Fourth compartment, pump with aeration.

Chemical stage (Not allow to share the details as of now)
- Flow from one of the pump.
- Remove NO3 and tiny particles.
- Flow return back to pump compartment, drinkable quality.

Others
- Feeding once a day. All kinds of feeder, pellets, MP.
- Maintaining pH at 7 using sodium bicarbonate. No CC or OS.
- Using WIZZ fast cycle to reduce the load on biological filtration.
- Water change of 50 to 60% weekly. On and off twice per week. Using seachem safe and add Biozym and WIZZ fast cycle every water change.

Keeping fish is fun, is combination of science and art.

Photo taken just arrived from Brazil.


After a few months keeping together with all the giant predatory fishes. Scared till pale colouration.
