Simply Koi and More Koi

It can be done Bob even without RO my water was over 500 and i got the pond down to 450-460

Hi John,

Do you mean how low do we want our TDS I am trying to get down to around 120-150 well i think so anyway.

Well water is the most important thing look how much we have around us and how little we know about it

I would imagine that also being a smaller system with loads of fish being feed loads don't help Bob. Mt tanks is at 320 at the moment but i think i can get it a bit lower :lol: Its working very well and i have been putting a fair amount of food in.The old Shower bin seems to do the trick and so far ...

Its all just stuff John

Or what about conductivity is this better than TDS

What about the TDS meters that are used for different stuff as some will have a conversion factor of 0.7 and some 0.5

Still i think we do sometimes go a little over the top

Hi Guys as per Bobs request i thought i would put up some more pictures of the Bio Chips. They are 50mm in diameter and 2.5mm thick and as you can see they have a slant on one side and flat on the other.

Bob,

You know what i am going to say...have you calibrated the TDS meter recently as i have found they can and do go out of calibration

Or just change more water

Did you have any of the media out to see what it was like??

Hi Bob,

I thought you would be changing a fair amount of water so didn't ask,so have you not been changing much water then i take it??

Yes thats the idea mate Static easier to clean just need to do some more messing around and modifications

Sounds like something is a miss Bob,have you tested the ORP on it?? I had just noticed the last couple of days that my ORP has gradually gone down.Now this is not the usual thing in my pond so i thought we better have a look as this morning it was down to 315 and its normally up around 350ish. So i ...

Well i am still reading the question

So do you lol so would you go down the RO route then Scott If you do you may need some new meters

I must admit when i see it scot it did make me giggle PMSL!!



Its a great bit of kit Bob

My TDS stays exactly where it is all the time as long as i do all my regular cleaning and stuff and to be honest you soon get used to how they work. I have mine on 24/7 along with an ORP unit so as soon as i go into the shed i can see PH,TDS & ORP so withing seconds i can see if all is OK. Then ...
