It's called mb3 and is made here in tbe U.S. How about that! Also half tbe price of Kaldnes which I've been told is now made in China.<br/>
<br/>
Can be purchased from Water Management Technologies. I'd post a link but not sure how to do it on my Ipad. Just do a search for Water Management Technolgies and mb3 and you should find it.

<p>Keith turned me on to a moving bed bioreactor filter (mbbr) utilizing a 55 gallon drum, diffuser on the bottom, water intake bottom side, and over flow near the top filled with up to 4 cubic feet of MB3 media. Works just as well as some rotating biocontact filters (rbc's) I've built, but cheaper to built and smaller footprint.

<p>when i cleaned the fish i found 3 egg sac's,, i added a little butter to the pan that i fried the fish in and gave them a quick fry.. i thought they were delish,, the wife found them a little to "fishy" but i bet she'd love them in scrambled eggs!</p>

They're largely aquatic but can't spend a small bit of time out of water and still survive... that being said they'll try to stay in a place that stays wet consistently and only risk the open air if their initial environment starts to dry up...<br />
<br />
Lol and yeah, the fish love em, there mainly seen in the fish food market as treats or high class diets for most fish, so them not being in the fish tanks is no surprise.<br />

I'm pumped to see some one else using them and not trying to remove the gammies…
They're largely aquatic but can't spend a small bit of time out of water and still survive... that being said they'll try to stay in a place that stays wet consistently and only risk the open air if their initial environment starts to dry up...<br />

I'm pumped to see some one else using them and not trying to remove the gammies from the system. More often than not people think they're Lara cites when really they'll feed on poo and dead plant matter before they even attempt to eat the living material in the systems... my "old" barrel system had so…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2012-06-05:4778851:Comment:3464602012-06-05T14:23:43.056ZKeith Rowanhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/KeithRowan
<p>my "old" barrel system had some definite solids buildup, and when i emptied them i didn't really search for scuds but did see a few, i don't think they did too well in the flood and drain gb's that emptied completely..</p>

<p>i'm sure that my new growbeds already have gam's, as i put a bunch in the sump.. my ibc's don't drain all the way, so when i built them i left a length of split drainage tile in the bottom/middle of the totes, and each tote/gb has an airstone so i think they will do quite well</p> Grandpa Keith... lol.

Grandpa Keith... lol.<br />

What are your impressions on the gammarus? Not many people know what they are let alone use them or will go out of their way to get them...<br />

Ha e you had any solid fish waste problems after the cultures took hold?<br />
Any cloggining in the media beds?<br />
Any damage to the plants that you've noticed?<br />

There's more misinformation about them than factual information. Now I've seen these guys in action, but I'm just one person. If these guys work as well for you in Ohio as the…

There's more misinformation about them than factual information. Now I've seen these guys in action, but I'm just one person. If these guys work as well for you in Ohio as the species of gammarus worked in Hawaii, they just might help reduce the cost of system construction and reduce the need for complicated mechanical filters.
