Nee wat Deon slaap is maar laag op my prioritet. Dankie ek geniet die dam en visse baie, hulle hou maar 'n ou redelik rustig, gelukkig is die vissies nog baie onskuldig vergeleke met die sogenaamde profesionele mensdom.

Koi4You het heelwat moeite gedoen en 'n artikel oor dam en visse geskryf. Ek veneem dit gaan moontlik in 'n Koi tydskrif geplaas word, so indien dit 'n werklikheid word sal ek laat weet.

Hierdie 55cm Ogata Showa is onlangs van Ernst van Dyk aangekoop. Die baby in my voorste my dam.

Elke dag spyt dat ek die showa moes laat gaan - sy het regtig baie potensiaal. Maar bouers het nie genade nie en die 'ektras' stroom elke dag in!

So bly dat die bouers tydelik jou "cash flow" besig hou.

Dis nou die 2de Showa wat jou hakskene gaan byt, wel die vorige een het Supreme size 8 vanjaar gewen, het jy nog van die bargains .

Hi Bobby
Passop hy gaan ja se, want ek glo hy het.

Net om jou te laat beter voel Ernst, die showa in "MY" dam. Ek sal later jou Baby Face Tomahawk "Die spot" soos jy haar noem, vir jou post.

Hi Bobby,

Dit is werklik prentjie mooi, begalwe dat dit prag visse is, is jou fotografiese skill ook nou van die beste. Baie mooi hoor. Wil jy nie ook so bietjie aanbou nie.

Hi Bobby

Jy mag maar hoor.

Wow Bobby, your collection speaks for itself, it is really impressive.

Thanks Mario.
I have to make use of the window period whilst Ernst is completing his building renovations and filter upgrade

I'll send Bobby some pict to upload on my pond modification. Pressure system is in and runnning well. Gravity fed system still under contruction. Grafity fed system will pump 36 000l/h for 300 watts - we hope!

Dit klink na besigheid Ernst, ek sal dit graag wil sien will ook so iets vir die nuwe dam gebruik

I have been in contact with the manufacturer in Norway and is researching the possibilities to add the CL10 to my pond.

You can read comments of a very senior Koi Bito member re the installation of the CL 10 and I have notice that the current KZN Champion has an older version installed on his pond.

Protein Skimmer/Foam fractionator used in Fish ponds (Koi)

Highly efficient in fresh water.
The effectiveness of traditional Protein Skimmers/Foam fractionator in fresh water is restricted by the lower density in fresh water and therefore the ability to form small enough bubbles with enough surface area to attract the organic waste. Since Clarity is based on an entirely different approach, Clarity does not have this limitation. This results in superb efficiency also in fresh water and opens up many exciting applications for Clarity.

Regulates the level of oxygen in water
During the normal process of feeding fish and decomposing of organic matter, the level of oxygen in the water is altered. These environmental changes are not desirable for the fish and result in increased stress and unhealthy conditions. Clarity’s mode of operation restores the balance of oxygen in the water as part of the process of making the foam.

Breaks down ammonia and nitrite to nitrate before foaming
As the water trickles down the airing tower, bacteria fastened to bio-rings decompose organic compounds to simpler, less toxic substances. The most important example of this process is the breakdown of ammonia to nitrite and eventually nitrate. This lowers the toxicity of the compounds and results in a more effective removal of organic compounds.
