Maintaining a fishpond is not a joke especially the water management. When it comes to regularly cleaning your pond from waste and changing the water, it becomes more serious and sometimes becomes a burden in the part of a fish keeper. Using the RAS method ( Recirculating Aquaculture System), I have been able to maintain a clean and reusable water all the time with my own set-up.
RAS is a system where-in water is reused and cycled more often rather than dumping the bulk of it as waste water. In a RAS set-up, you only discharge and refill 5-10% of the water in a daily basis. But hey! Is it not too much of a waste of water? Yes, its a lot of waste but you are just making sure that you end up rearing your fish in a humane manner and they will definitely live longer.
In this video you will see my new filtration system which aids in converting harmful components in the water like ammonia produced by the fish gills into nitrites and to nitrates which recirculates in the system. Sad to say it will not be enough and I will continuously be troubled of too much nitrates in the water which I cannot control more or less and will be forced to incorporate other components just to eliminate the harmful chemicals that will soon exterminate my fish. For that matter, I am planning to merge another system which is hydroponics or the use of soil less plant culture which will augment in some sort of filtration. The new system is AQUAPONICS. It will be featured in another clip and I hope you'll expect another upload regarding the new system. Enjoy!
