Momotaro Filter Media - Bacteria House Media

I’ve kept fish and turtles for 30 years. As I learned more about the hobby I began to research filter techniques. I came across a review saying this is the best filter media available. I have to agree. My water is immaculate!

I must admit I was skeptical when making the purchase. I really didn’t think it would make much difference in my koi pond. After 3-4 weeks I can clearly see the bottom of my pond- I have never before had such clear water. It is worth every penny.

I am so glad I purchased this product (twice now). My Koi garden pond, with lilies and cat tail plants, has never been in this condition. The fish are happy, so I'm happy. They're so much more lively now and the plants are also thriving. Thank you, Kloubec Koi Farm!

This is much more than surface area. I did a lot of research before buying. Bacteria House media makes particles fall out of the water and stick to the media because of its electrostatic characteristics. That makes the water super clear. It also emits far infrared rays that break up water clusters and allow more oxygen in the water. Far infrared technology is used for humans for many health benefits. I researched that too. This is my second 10 lb purchase. I expanded the filter system so water has to pass through bacteria house media before entering the pond. My 6,000 gallon pond is crystal clear down to four feet, the fish are ravenous and active. I plan to buy more in the future until the container is full even if that is overkill--nothing but the best for my fishies! There are knock-offs but I don't know if they're as good so I'm sticking with the real stuff. Most of my koi came from Kloubec too because they're awesome and healthy and from a closed system.

I've been struggling with algae in my 1500 gallon pond for 2 summers with zero progress. Myron and Ellen sold me a 10 pound box of the Momotaro cylinders at a koi show. This was about 5 weeks ago. I put them under my waterfall. This morning I could see the bottom of my pond for the first time in 2 years. Wonderful.

So far I'm liking the results I'm seeing with this product. My water seems clearer than before.

Our pond is about 3500 gallons, and it is open to a lot of sunlight, causing lots of algae and cloudiness in the water as the summer progresses. I've had the Bacteria House Filters in the water about 3 weeks now and the results are absolutely amazing. My water is clear and our beloved koi are active, colorful and healthy. The ceramic pieces must be placed where there is running or moving water. That's it. Don't be afraid to use all of the pieces recommended for very best results.

Pond appears cleaner. It did not take long for algae to start forming in the media. Very pleased and satisfied.

Back in August of 2013, I purchased 20 lbs. of the Shower House Media 2013 and have seen a significant difference in both water quality and fish health. Even though Myron mentioned that it will take about a month or more for the media to season, I noticed that my water seem to be more “polished” within a week after adding the media. However, what really impressed me the most was with its healing properties. I have a Yamabuki Ogon that had a nasty tear in its top dorsal fin for over two years. I was pleasantly surprised to notice that the dorsal fin began to regrow new tissue within a couple of months. Now, 6 months later you can barely tell that there was a tear in the fin. Now that is truly amazing! Needless to say, I just purchased another 10 lb. in February and plan to purchase more down the road. I would highly recommend this media to anyone who has invested in koi and want to ensure that they remain healthy. This is a much better and cheaper alternative than pouring chemicals into your pond or having to inject sick fish.
