I thought I would give you a picture of a MPKS hobbyist pond using the Anoxic Filtration System that was built in the spring of 2007.

at least nine of them are upper show quality fish. As you can see from the picture, the homeowner uses two Savio skimmers at either end, with Savio UV-Clarifier lamps.

2 I thought I would give you a picture of a MPKS hobbyist pond using the Anoxic Filtration System that was built in the spring of The pond has a capacity of a little more than 14-thousand gallons, is 7 1/2-feet deep (with two bottom drains with air attachments), by 30-feet long, and is now home to twenty show quality large Koi, at least nine of them are upper show quality fish. As you can see from the picture, the homeowner uses two Savio skimmers at either end, with Savio UV-Clarifier lamps. The waterfall is over six-foot high and is cascading water over several large 36 wide flat stones, with about 12-thousand gallons an hour pouring from the filtration system. What you don t see is: An unsightly filtration system cluttering up the yard. Yes, you are looking at the filtration system itself, it is not hidden by anything. That s right, no unsightly boxes, outhouses, or hiding the filtration system behind some tall evergreens or in the garage. Once the homeowners landscaping is done and matures, this pond will look first-class, if I do say so myself.

This waterfall was illustrated in Doctors Foster and Smith catalog in the pump section of 2009.

3 This waterfall was illustrated in Doctors Foster and Smith catalog in the pump section of It is the waterfall from the Anoxic filtration system of a 14,100 gal pond, with more than 12,000 gph spilling out from it. These three show quality Koi won at the MPKS Koi shows in 2008 and 2009 respectively.the Ochiba Shigure won for the most unique- Koi at the show in 2009, and is estimated at 6ʺ long. All live in 14,100gal pond at top of page. The reason he chose the Anoxic Filtration System over any other system is because he is already using the same system on his smaller five-thousand gallon pond located in another part of the yard. The homeowner is very happy with the results with his original pond that he decided to use the same system on his new pond. He (the homeowner) told me that everything, lock, stock, and barrel cost him only $ He would have paid just that much or more, for the filtration system alone, for such a large pond. On top of that, he said, his pond never went green with algae and stayed clear all through

the break-in period. You can see all the way to the bottom of the pond. His ammonia levels, during break-in, never exceeded 1-ppm and nitrite only went to 1-ppm.

He used no chemicals (except: sodium thiosulfate for the neutralization of chlorine) and/or bio-bacteria cultures at all.

Next year (in 2008) he said; he will be on the MPKS pond tour, so keep your eyes open for this one.

You could see 71/2 feet down into the water and see the stainless steel screws that hold down the bottom drains. The photo at the bottom shows some of his quality Koi.

4 the break-in period. You can see all the way to the bottom of the pond. His ammonia levels, during break-in, never exceeded 1-ppm and nitrite only went to 1-ppm. In other words, the newpond-syndrome was less severe than with other systems. He used no chemicals (except: sodium thiosulfate for the neutralization of chlorine) and/or bio-bacteria cultures at all. Look at the picture very closely; you do not see algae covering the waterfall stones do you? Next year (in 2008) he said; he will be on the MPKS pond tour, so keep your eyes open for this one. Same pond one year later, this was one of the clearest ponds on pond tour of 2008, and was visited by more than 450 visitors. You could see 71/2 feet down into the water and see the stainless steel screws that hold down the bottom drains. The photo at the bottom shows some of his quality Koi. Posting on KoiShack May of 2008, KoiShack-.TheTraderShack Koishack.com/forums/index.php?showforum=15 By: tbb Yes, I have used this system successfully for more than 6 years. I can tell you that all of my past problems with algae, sick fish, and GREEN WATER have long been gone. Others that I know have also used this system. It doesn't seem to matter how big or small. I have not used any chemicals, barley, crystals or bacteria to keep the water clean, clean, clean. Direct sun or shade. I currently have a 1600 gallon pond and over 30 fish, shubunkins and koi. Some of my fish are about 18 to 24 inches. Not a single person that I know have not been able to make this system work. You or others must follow Kevin s instructions. Don't try to modify or redesign it. I certainly was a skeptic. I couldn't believe that it would work. How come no one from our pond

club never told me about this system. I kept testing my water so much but couldn't measure detectable measures of ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites.

I have been on our local pond tour MIDWEST POND AND KOI SOCIETY for many years and have taught many others of this ANOXIC FILTRATION SYSTEM.

Can I be using my plants more efficiently, that is what interested me about the Anoxic Filtration System.

5 club never told me about this system. I kept testing my water so much but couldn't measure detectable measures of ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites. I know most people that read this are not going to believe me. I will be glad to give additional information and or pictures. I have been on our local pond tour MIDWEST POND AND KOI SOCIETY for many years and have taught many others of this ANOXIC FILTRATION SYSTEM. Currently a pond that is 14,000 gallons has been built and installed using this system. This will be another test in progress. Greg Bickal Koi farm advertisement located in Toddville, Iowa. Yep, Im the Greg Sorry I missed this thread. My pond is not a typical koi pond, as I do use veggie filtration to aide in the nitrate removal. I like plants, and want plants. Can I be using my plants more efficiently, that is what interested me about the Anoxic Filtration System. Is there a right way and a wrong way to use plants, and have I slipped into using them the wrong way, causing me bacteria problems. I'll trust you Doctors/Experts to steer me in the right direction What percentage of the people who have ponds with koi are people who also have plants in the pond? So lets make sure if they have plants, they do it in the best possible way correct...

6 Hello Dr. Novak, I too was impressed with your filter system. Seeing is believing! I can understand why some folks would discount your work as chicanery. After all, even you admit the principle is hard to prove out on paper. I spoke with the Dr. Fosters and Smith representative about your anoxic filter on Sunday. He brought up the subject, not me. When he asked what I thought about it I said; "I went to see Dr. Novak's pond yesterday, unbelievable what the filter is capable of. His fish load is 2-3 gallons of water per inch of fish." I told him I am now a proponent of anoxic filtration. I asked if he saw your pond. His reply was no, that he was convinced it was a bunch of crap. Hard to deal with a mindset like that...defies logic. Time for you to change the laterite link to someone else web site! I was able to view the bitmap image you sent. To be honest, it looks like a homemade pond. I wanted to see water and filter...not rocks. I suppose being in the business has made me a little jaded. Your images in the book are very good. Perhaps I will run across this pond one day. In my capacity as a moderator on Dr. Johnson's KoiVet internet board, one of my favorite sayings is "knowledge is power." I hope to learn as much as I can about your system. Speaking of KoiVet.com, I have yet to post about your system. I will do so within the next few days and then invite you to participate in the discussion when you can. Best regards, Richard KoiVet.com This is an I received today ( ) from a professional on KoiVet.com internet site about the Anoxic Filtration System. I personally would like you to know: I m only trying to help the hobbyist not hurt them in any way. This system was specifically design for you the hobbyist, to save your animals from death and sickness that they (your animals) do not deserve. It works, and on top of that, is very cheep to implement on ones pond or an addition if need be. Please try to understand that this system has been in the makings for over twenty-five years now, and is not a fly-by-night system to make money off you the hobbyist. I personally do not make any money off the hobbyist for or on this system, it is free to you, and I will try to keep it that way for as long as I can. Godspeed, Kevin
