Feeding rates for BHM

[colin]

Hi all. I've been very interested in BHM now for a fair amount of years. But after all the research I have done on it I can't work out how many kilo's of BHM will support X amount of food????? I guess flow rates play a major part,temperature, but is there a ball park figure out there?
I have just taken delivery of 30kg and would like to know what I can expect? Mike are you about to help me please? Thank you

Hi Colin,

Sorry i missed this one young man

I am not sure on the feeding rates but i know they say a single shower can cope with a 4000 - 2000gln pond (this is off the top of my head though) so i would imagine the 2000gln pond would have a heavier load than the 4000 although you can have from 5 -8 boxes of BHM in the shower. One of the main things with a shower is flow rate as this makes the showers work much better when they have a large flow rate.

I know this isn't a feed rate and this is something i have never seen hopefully Mike may see this a pop on and help out.......MIKE
