Koi Basic What you have to learn before you start with Koi

Koi Basic What you have to lea before you start with Koi The problem of leadership is that Koi is a hobby where you need to know everything about them before you start anything.This do, because the consequences of a mistake, it is of fundamental importance to the right of the start much more costly as with many other hobbies. If your pond for example, is poorly constructed and developed a loss, for example, after one year, it costs money, and considerable efforts to resolve the problem. Not to mention the weight of your Koi is in the process! Do not jump and your pond until you are close with the following conditions: mechanical filtration, and because the sand filters are bad   Biological Filtration   The cycle of nitrogen   Nitrifying bacteria - what they are and what they do   Denitrifying bacteria - what they are and what they do   Autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria   Organic and inorganic waste - what are they and what happens to themNotice which I told you! Not your dealer, not your builder pond. You and only you! Are you one who has to live with the results. Your retailer sell more kit, the manufacturer of tin will give you a new pond, but the success of your pond, it is you! References to other systems, which the dealer has sold or other ponds and filtration, the pond builders have very little. Many people have bought the wrong thing - that does not mean that you are! The Koi-keeper in each of these "references" is determining the success or failure and this can only be measured in years or, better, decades.I these problems in the next article. If you understand all this, it was much better equipped Koi hold. In the worst cases, you may decide to opt for a small aquarium, but in the end with a disaster and for the poor in spirit and principle of avoid pocket.The fundamental error is to filtering. How Koi keeper, you are bound to make mistakes, but not expensive, the more difficult to heal. Let us advise you and the search for facts. Koi leadership is not smoke, mirrors and snake oil. It is really a hobby very scientific, which means that it is really easy to determine if you are guided through the nose or not. The facts are observable or scientifically, they are not. Getting to the facts can sometimes be a challenge for their own! Try using a sand filter vendor to see what I mean.The real sticking point in the hobby is that Koi fish are difficult. If Koi are thin as say, an exotic species such as Discus, the water is very specific conditions, is not the hobby that never took off. It takes a lot to kill a Koi and less than an adequate filtering system can be found only in the next few years if something does not completely solve a chain of events that culminates with weakened Koi, which are then easily swept away by the lack of filtration system. The poor keeper Koi wonder what happened. He goes the way of many before him, with a shovel, a bag of sand and the desire to fill what was once a valuable feature of his garden, his pond.I no Koi Koi pond builder or construction of experts. I know however, what is needed in a Koi pond, and suggests that if you are serious about keeping Koi pond should be at least 10 000L. Less Than Please note that the leadership of red, if you do not want to bury Koi regularly. Koi grow too large to be kept only in environments of less than 10 Koi 000l.As with all things, bigger is better. Size counts for everything, even with the koi themselves. Take into account this fact when choosing the filter. If your house in hobbies and do things right the first time, your Koi live and prosper, and which is intended to grow. This increase in growth has increased demand on the system of filters. It seems obvious, but a 40 cm Koi 665 grams on average, is very different from a Koi 90 centimeters, which weighs 8448 grams on average. This is twelve times the weight of Koi and twelve times more filtration invite! And yet I am surprised that people still buy, bio-filter, the "Rated XXX treating the water of the pond '! This assessment is completely and totally useless. My biggest problem is that he is intentionally misleading to the detriment of the buyer. What happens if there is one fish in this pond? What happens if several hundred? What happens if these fish are all 10 kg or heavier? What happens if they are not koi and red? The assessment is only useful one, which shows the number of kilograms of Koi fish bio-filter is capable of, and with what speed (rate) of the bio-filter is able to breakdown the waste. It is not good for the bio-filter lasts three days, the waste of Koi - Koi would not be very happy, fed only when all three days! Note also that Koi on a weight basis about twice as filtration load golden do - Koi are known as the "pigs of dams and rivers" without good reason! My advice is that all the bio-filter with a score based on pond volume is seriously flawed. Stay away. The designers of these so-called bio-filters have a guess how many fish that live in the pond and the band, and, worse still, as they guessed the fish is large. Even worse, if they have all these assumptions, that really know how many milligrams of ammonia is able to remove the filter for hours in a given flow rate and under what conditions? Mine is that they have no idea. In today's koi maintain, which is nothing less than genocide. The only thing I can promise is that if the load of fish on these assumptions, the only certainty is that the local cemetery Koi is much more business! There is no substitute for the home, when it comes to keeping Koi. There are a lot of fun and very nice to see the results in action. Ensure that processes are not so complicated to understand. All you need is time. Do not be afraid to ask questions and get opinions.Do according to your home and be rewarded. Do not do it, and to be condemned!
