Buy the Correct Koi Filters for Contented and Fit Koi Fish
When raising Koi fish, it is vital that an appropriate Koi filter is installed in your pond. As Koi are particularly sensitive to settings in their fluid surroundings, careful consideration is needed when purchasing your choice of Koi pond filters.
Pond filtering is the process of eradicating waste products and other dangerous substances from the Koi pond. This is a fundamental necessity if you want to keep your Koi fit and healthy for a long time. Without filtration, numerous things can occur:
- The pond will change to to a green color.
- Parasites and other harmful vermin will form and spread quickly from one Koi fish to another.
- Water in the pond will become stinky and ugly, and will be deadly to the fish.
As well as planning for aeration, planning for a suitable Koi pond filter is also critical. An incorrectly set-up filtration system can ruin the whole mission if it fails in a crucial moment. You can lose your most valuable Koi fish this way.
Many Koi specialists advocate a Koi pond filter volume of not less that 33% of the total pond water volume. For example, a 3,000 gallon pond should have a filter that is able to manage 1,000 gallons of pond water at any given time.
There are two types of pumps available:
- Submersible pumps, suggested for smaller ponds and waterfalls because of their discrete appearance and minimal noise.
- Re-circulating pumps, suggested for large ponds because of their effectiveness and durability.
Any pond filtration system usually has two phases for mechanical filtering and another two for biological filtration.
Mechanical filtration Consists of catching the wastes and debris in the water physically. The most popular utilized media are sand, beads, pads and brushes.
Biological filtration This system uses a natural biological process to turn the toxic wastes into less invasive compounds. Koi expel ammonia, which in large quantities is dangerous to themselves. Particular anaerobic bacteria convert ammonia into nitrites, which are also noxious to Koi. There are, however, good aerobic bacteria that convert nitrites into nitrates, which are safe to Koi. These good bacteria are also known as nitrifying bacteria.
As well as these two Koi pond filter systems, there is also a need for a bottom drain where dirty water is extracted by a pump for transmission to filter chambers. It should be placed in the deepest part of the pond bottom. A pond with no bottom drain will need to be cleaned regularly.
Being the owner of a spectacular Koi pond entails frequent maintenance. Deciding on the right choice of Koi filters is part of your Koi pond responsibility. Having said that, caring for Koi fish absolutely remains one of the most worthwhile of activities.
