Great update Dave! I like your alfagrog setup and think you doing a good thing there! 👍

Great update Dave. Love the huge bio chamber. Not sure on the plan for the Nexus but I’ll be watching for the results. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@OrchardKoi]

Cheer cashy. Plenty of bio for what i want. Yeah I can imagine the raised eyebrows 😂 it will end up with k1 in at some point but I want to try few things before for comparison

[@AndysKoiPuddle]

Interesting update Dave, look forward to hearing the results in the future… 🤔👍🏼 Glad to hear you are feeling better now…. 🤧 🤒

[@OrchardKoi]

Cheers dude! Fully on the mend ☺️

[@westbromkoi]

Well done to Kevin. Very interesting experiment with the alfagrog in the nexus, looking forward to seeing how that goes 👍🏼👌🏼

[@OrchardKoi]

Yeah should be fairly straight forward. Cheers dude. Nearly there 👌

[@MattConyard]

New to keeping koi and I only put a post on Facebook last night asking about this stuff

[@OrchardKoi]

Great bit of timing for you then 😂. I've been using 30kg on my ibc and had some fantastic results. I'll be showing that in next few weeks so hopefully that will help you more 😊

Hi mate I look after a pond at work which has a pump fed /gravity return cloverleaf filter the last bay has Alfagrog in it Now I’ve only been there for just over a year and looked into changing a few things Which one was going to be taking the alfagrog out and making it into a moving bed with K1+ Only reason being when I looked into alfagrog it’s recommended to change 3/4 of it every year What’s your view on that Also didn’t realise there was two grades of it Can’t wait to see your fish in after the work you’ve put in

[@OrchardKoi]

Hi there. What are you wanting to achieve with the changes is how i would be looking at it? So this is exactly why I've gone this route I've seen so many different views and wives tales on what you do and don't have to do with it. I've never replaced it after years of use on an aquarium. So again not sure why you would need to replace it after a period on a pond? We shall see how it goes in mine over the next year. On the cloverleaf, that wouldn't be a very big moving bed chamber, so not sure what you'll achieve. Bio capacitywise , I have seen People have moving beds in them but normally as a smaller part of a larger filter set up. Cheers for watching ☺️👍
