Tank using Ecosand system
Any Ecosand fanatics using the system pls come in and share your experiences
Currently I have been using for a year now. So far so good. My aro and tankmates are doing fine. Water parameter was stable throughout the whole year. Just had the 1st yearly maintenance last week. Surprising I had my doubts when doing the maintenance But after seeing how the fishes are quarantine nicely and safe and the tank fully cleaned up, I must say I made the correct choice. Any hobbyist taking up this system also? Care to share comments Still not sure how to upload photos here. Any bros can advise Cheers |

Actually if u want to see, can dropped by ST 82(beisde rainbow) to view. It's at the second row. If I did not remember wrongly, they use porous stones and sand as filter media or bacteria house. Sort of like nature doing what nature should do.
Anyway I am curious on the details too as I never asked much when I went in the other time. |

U can drop by look for Willy. He's the man who did all the setup and maintenance for me. Hardworking guy I must say.
Actually 1 year ago when I first started the hobby, I also did quite a research regarding which tank system to use. Sump, overhead filtration, canister are my 3 main consideration. Until I stumble upon Ecosand. To be honest I do have my doubts initially till I went down to have a look. Understand a bit here and there. Then I just go for it due to the simplicity and convenience. Must say I took a gamble haha. But nevertheless, I didn't regret after all. It did serves its purpose and most impt my time. At least I can go oversea work with a piece of mine. Go have a look if interested. No harm asking. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And I understand is transferable to another tank but has to pay quite a big sum for the "pro" to settle the transfer and setup? |

As for bio load I dun know how to calculate. Currently I have a red aro , 4 frontosa, 4 loaches and a flowerhorn.
I dun think I would want to stuff so many fishes in my tank also. Regarding the transfer, no comment la bro. I got this system as a new tank. So hard to explain in this situation. Some more I dun really feed so heavily, so bioload to me not really a big issue. Main thing is I just wanna enjoy and relax to see the fishes when I back home everyday. That's all about this hobby. Maybe I'm lazy doing maintenance, that's why I opt for this system Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Most important, I wanna be the master of the fishes, not the other way round. 😂 In the case if bioload really go crazy, just do some partial water on a regular basis la. But throughout the past year, I have been monitoring the parameter closely. Ammonia, nitrite in good order. Nitrates also quite stable
