Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi,

I'm very jealous hehe. Great Job Al. With two NeXus 200's and 2 showers with the high flowrates you've got one fantastic setup. Do you think the NeXus works better without the majority of the fish waste which ends up in the uplifts?

I work that out to be about 4500 Gal at 2m Depth. Good size, although if you made it rectangular you would have 6200 Gal at 2m depth. Nexus 300 and a Pod me thinks.

Thanks,

Hi, The Benifit of using the 200 would be that you have a fluidised K1 chamber which is much more beneficial biologically than the static K1 found in the Pod. I'd go for a NeXus 200 from an aerated bottom drain, and a Pod on the skimmer line. Shrink your pond if need be to fit them in, it will be wo...

Hi,
