Well the long anticipated informative article that Manky Sanke was commissioned to do for Koi Organization International, Koi (KOI) is now completed and is on his web page. Just click on the link below to read this educational article on the Anoxic Filtration System and the scientific workings of the Biocenosis Clarification Baskets.

This article will not only benefit pond enthusiast but also those that have fresh water aquariums. This new article will be used by the KOI as part of a new advanced up-to-date filtration course they are planning.

Its been a long time since anything new came out (as far as filtration system go) into the aquarium & pond hobby that can be said to be revolutionary in its makings since the Wet-Dry Filter, circa 1984; when Smith introduced it to U.S. hobbyist. Moreover, the U.S. has brought nothing to light of significant value and only Holland, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom dominating this market with new innovated ideas.

The Anoxic Filter is a game changer for the United States; in that it uses innovated science and bacteria colonization like that of natural systems in a different way to clean water and make it safe and habitable for aquatic life. Dr. Franco in Italy proved that aquariums did better with the reduction of Phosphates from an Anoxic Filtration System that other filtration system couldn’t perform this reduction chemical transformation. 

 No longer are we looking at Nitrates and Phosphates in the same way as we did thirty plus years ago. We now look at positive and negative ions in a better understanding of their chemical complexity as groups of linked molecules instead of just thinking only as them in terms of Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates as the only insults that plague our fresh water systems.
