like Abang said in his previous thread, in order to know wat is required in the "Simple" approach, u need to know all the basics first...

wat are the individual adv / disadv of the medias...how to arrange them?

when to change them?...or even whether to touch them

taking ur case as an example, my diagnosis is a lack of sufficient bacteria within your media...Possible loss due to low PH

replace wool
add koi matt in second tray..with a finer material as base below
third tray dun change as yet
Redose with live bacteria or "seasoned" medias

Whats the purpose of the koi mat on the 2nd tray for can CR etc be used for 2nd tray instead ??That means only the last trays are filled with medias??I am more than willing to know..

CR are not the best for wet dry...best for submerged

second tray usually will be wet dry and last tray is half submerged...depending on how u use the stackable OHF

In a way if u play CR in 2nd layer...water flows through it too fast will wipe out the colonised bacteria...unless u adjust the flow below 2 times

CR or bio home or gao sai which ever u put u must understand their purpose...biohome plus best to place submerged...plus it will slowly release trace elements into the water...but make sure u cover up that tray...light is not beneficial for BH

Bacteria House on the other hand can be used in Wet Dry - tats their best location...u submerged it will be ineffective

but u need to have a clearance space for "air interaction" between Bacteria house and the layers...sometimes not MORE is gd...leave the space for waste oxides to escape...

Bro

This is a smart move. Where do you throw all the plants? Hope to hear your result and feedback soon. Happy tanning.
