“Well my Anoxic filter is 818
days old today I have 60 baskets in the filter and about 50 Koi in the pond and
there is no other filter. I used to have about 350 liters of dancing K1 &
K3 but this didn't give me what I was looking for, it was more of a nitrate
factory with readings off the scale.
Pond readings today are zero
ammonia, zero nitrite and 15mg/l nitrate, next year I'm going to plant up a few
baskets and get down to zero nitrate
My filter runs all year long and
I don't bother reducing the flow, Koi still produce ammonia in winter and
although the bacteria in the baskets slows down it is still active so I pump at
full bore.”

UK from Conway in N. Wales
I introduced an Anoxic Filter in
the spring. I also planted it out with assorted aquatic plants to dress it up.
This works in conjunction with my original filter, which was not up to the job;
it all now seems to work well. I intend to improve again it this winter. I
introduced a baffle board at the inlet end of the filter this slowed the water
down; I set the height of this to allow the water to spill over the top across
its full width. I also fitted a shut off valve in the water supply line. This
gives a fine control over the flow rate, as a high flow rate is not required in
my case. I have had no problems with any disturbance to the baskets.
