Aquarium Filtration System what do you think

Postby discus21473@aol.com (46) » Tue Dec 04, 2012 6:37 pm

Hello, my name is Leon and I am the sole owner of the Aquarium Filtration System patent number US 8,206,579
This system was developed to control every aspect of keeping an aquarium. water parameters pH and water hardness, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate and slows stress and sickness of the aquatics. This system saves money and time at a low cost to maintenance of the system. Aquarium Filtration System will work with any water supply tap water, well water, a pond a lake the system will control the water being feed to it on a carbonate, bicarbonate level and is environmently freindly and safe to use. (go green), no chemicals required. This system will control the water you have, raise and lower pH or just maintain the water you have the choice is yours. Here is how the system came about.

Around eight years ago I decited to get back into aquariums, aquatics keeping. My goal was to have Angels and Discus and may-be get them breeding. I got a 20 gallon tank and set it up put in my prime and a little cycle to help establish the aquarium. Filter was a magnum with a bio wheel, air stones gravel and heater and a couple plants. To help the aquarium establish I went and got some cheep fish and put them in the aquarium and I got a 50 ft. python to do my water changes.
Within a couple of weeks the fish began to go belly up I just past it off as new tank syndrom so I got a couple more fish and put them in. After the aquarium was up and running for about three months I went and got a couple of Angels and got them into the aquarium. At first every thing seemed good and then out of no where they went belly up lost 3/4 of the fish I had in the tank including the angels. No sign of stress no sign of sickness began to wonder why. I ran test after test could not find anything wrong it had to be in my water. We began carring water from a out side source and reestablished the aquarium and put in my angels, rosy barbs, tetras, cory cats and a small placo after three months the tank was doing fine and I had no fish loss that was when I said that my tap water will not sustain fish. ? why.
I sat down with a pencil in one hand and a bottle of asprinin in the other. I said there had to be an easier way to manage the water for the aquarium. After a couple of months I developed a filtration system that would work between my tap water and aquarium. I went and got a 72 gallon bow front aquarium and sat it up and I hookeed up the filtration system to maintain the 72 this allowed me run the 72 at a 6.0 pH with a 20 TDS so here I got some discus. The system was working really well so I went and got a 180 gallon aquarium put together a system for that aquarium housed discus, angels and a stingray of cource some cory cats and placos. Mean while I began the patent process which I did get the patent on the system. After a fashion the discus and angel began to breed and I went from a couple of aquariums to 14 aquariums real quick. At one time I had about 500 baby angels along with about 100 baby discus wow what a head ack.
I did manage to get them to market before they breed me out of house and home not reall set up for that many nore do I think the house will hold them all, the one time I wish I had a basement but I don't and that is a lot of weight on the floor.
After a couple of years useing the Aquarium Filtration System which I will never set up an aquarium without the system, I set up a 250 gallon garden Koi pond in front of the house and I set it up to use the system to maintain the pond in which I put some Koi in the pond and plant flower bed around the pond. I drained the water to a leach field type drain system and the pond helped keep the flower bed and lawn watered thru out the summer everything there did real well and even the Koi decited to have babies oh boy as if I need that and she layed eggs all over the pond.
The out come of useing the Aquarium Filtration System.
the python no longer use it or need it
Chemicals all got put in the garbage do not use any what a money saver.
pH and water harness is at my control
Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate do not have a problem controlled by system interchange
aquariums stay clean and clear
No calcium or lime scale build up in on or around the aquariums
no problem with sickness or stress began after I started useing the system
I control the water it don't control me
maintenance on system, change a filter every now and then.
cost of useing the system is about 40 dollors a year give or take
After a while I incorperated a TDS meter (total disolved solid) into the system which give a reading in ppms to the water parameters pH water hardness which makes the system easy to use and adjust.

there is a video on youtube of the system, video name is (Aquarium Filtration System 2) tryed to load link don't work for me uge.
The system in not advailable on the market yet it is a new system and newly patented with the USPTO
I am thinking about producing the system I am working to do what I can to keep the price down.
I started out making the system for my own personal use and it just escalated from there.
I have used the system for years without fail and under every condition I could think of putting it under it worked without fail. I had a fish retail store allow me to hook one up there and it worked better there than it did here they had better water conditions and better water PSI which allowed the system to function better.
