good idea on adding jap-mats on top of the shower media. i just did my DIY bakki shower and had water splashing problems.will add the jap-mat soon.thx.

@chengaun Depends on how big your trickle is. Sodium thiosulphate is quite harmless and cheap, so why stinge on it?
-
@hooinc is it a must to add anti chlorice/chloramine everyday? with such a small trickle, will the chlorine/chloramine harm the fish and bacteria much?

How do the mats filter all the water, if there is space under them? Wouldn't it be better if the mats extended all the way down? I just built my chamber and it will go from brushes to mats to fluid bed of k1 to oystershells similar to yours.

@poisonXvenom Best not to think of the mats as mechanical filtration but as BIOfiltration. ie a media where good bacteria can colonize on their surface and convert ammonia to nitrites and subsequently nitrites to nitrates. Sieves and brushes in the first chamber do well as mechanical filtration before the water hits the J-mats.

@hooinc Oh, My biofiltration will all be based on my K1 media. I wanted the mats to be used as mechanical filtration.

@poisonXvenom The reason why we tend not to hang our mats all the way down is that anything deeper than 4 feet is likely to attract anaerobic bacteria rather than beneficial bacteria. This is what I have been advised, whether right or wrong. The oxygen levels reduce as we get deeper.

@poisonXvenom If I were to do my filter again, I would not lay my mats the way I did in this video. I would do them David Soon's style which he posted photos of in the old Malaysian forum. The photos are no longer there but he said he would post a video of them soon on Bito. Watch out for it. :-)
