Does anyone have one of these and if so how do you like it? It is suppose to do both mechanical and biological filtration along with a waterfall-It also has moving bed
Sure here is the link http://www.helixpondfiltration.com/Helix-Bio-Mechanical-Reactor- Waterfall-Filter-c-21.html- The pond diggers with Eric Triplett if how I found it-I have Helix skimmer and love it- They claim it will convert 1lb of fish food each day, 30 lbs a month or 365 lbs a year!Could you provide a link to this filter?
Thanks.
No I saw the Helix Bio mechanical Reactor filter at a convention center while on vacation. I purchased the Helix skimmer which I am so happy I did. I don't worry about my fish getting trapped inside the skimmer and the leaves it pickups is like no other. I read many articles about the reactor but cant find any reviews by people who have them.Just did a google search on your your thread title and there are a number of websites that come up. How did you hear about these filters? Do you know people who have them?

I would like to see the calculations used to determine this claim.
One pound = 453.6 grams. One 12" Koi weighs about 475 grams and produces about 1 gram of Ammonia per day. If this Koi is fed the recommended 2% body weight per day, it will consume 9.5 grams of food. One pound of food (453.6 grams) divided by 9.5 grams of food per 12" Koi = 47.75 total fish (47 grams of Ammonia) that this filter will support. That is a lot of fish mass (and Ammonia) for a filter of this size (even 'floating bed').
The claim may be accurate, but with any claim, it needs to be backed up with hard data.

This seems to be my problem. I cant find anyone who has provided a review or who has one-if it actually does what it claims this would be great
What is the calculation for ammonia from weight to volume?
I haven't heard of ammonia being measured as weight before.
