Reply With Quotehave not seen this product in singapore's lfs before, maybe someone can help? The ability to lower pH is really good!
I know a lot of people in Hong Kong are using this product called Power House... I wonder if this is available in Singapore...
Price wise definitely more expensive than Biohome... But this brand has a line that has the ability to lower PH...
Anyway just wondering & if anyone has had experince with this product could post their views...
It's a Japanese product & I think it is ever hard to go wrong with the Japanese products...
This is the website...

It's a very well respected product in Japan and Hong Kong. Before shrimps were popular, dwarf cichlids hobbyists were buying it for use in their Apisto tanks. If I recall correctly, some of our older members did use it. But they have since left the hobby.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
saw it at NA before. check it out
There are a lot of look a like products in the market. To read carefully. Recently, Taiwan came up with a range that looks exactly alike, but it says MH instead of PH. cwtan12 and I were almost fooled.

I belive pretty sure you heard of this company."Eheim" They use pretty much same things. You do not really need power house. It might be good or worse depends on what they use to make. Eheim product are pretty expensive then others and also has good rating. I'm pretty sure those things are just like these filter type substrate and use to make water clear. check out their site.

Yes I believe everyone here knows the brand Eheim... I own 02 X 2028 Canister filters & I'm looking to purchase a 2078 Pro3e soon...Originally Posted by go9ma123

Well this product is from Japan & has great reviews... Places like Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, etc are using their products...
Well for keeping CRS the best PH for them is slightly acidic around 6.5, so hobbyists will use all sort of products to lower the PH... A good example is ADA Soil which lowers PH (This is proven)
I'm not saying that Eheim is a bad product... In fact alot of people are known to swear by Eheim Canister Filters as they are one of the most reliable & long lasting canisters around...
But not all brands carry the best for any individual hobbyist...
You may not have heard this brand before as from the looks of it you are from the States... But believe me, this is a good product...
I know some of the senior members in this forum who are using this brand & these guys are breeders... If this was a bad product these guys won't be using this...
But anyway I just want to say that I'm not saying that Powerhouse is the best brand around & I'm in no way disagreeing with you as I have high regards for Eheim as a brand. I'm just sharing info with everyone...
I will be collecting my stuff from Powerhouse & a couple more Japanese brands next week...
where can i obtain this product from? also...from the webpage i see 2 types of ceremic rings, what are the differences for both?
I know it's good product. I know few guys using some of power house. I am just saying, these filter substrate things most likely doing the same thing. Not to say they are bad
I think it is by GEX.They are available at C328. The ceramic rings also come in large jars with purple caps.
I think NA carries this as indicated by Eddy...
saw it at NA before. check it outWell different subtrates do different stuff... But I think most members here regard Biohome Filter Media & ADA Subtrates as one of the better ones available in Singapore...I know it's good product. I know few guys using some of power house. I am just saying, these filter substrate things most likely doing the same thing. Not to say they are bad
GEX is a different brand & it is a subtrate not a filter media from what I know...
Gex brand carries a few different products. it has the best plant substrate available in singapore as well as various forms of hardware, including filter media (i know i saw Gex brand filter charcoal as well as some other form of filter media in NA when i went yesterday) and things like thermometers. but yes, from the webpage it seems peter2883 should be right in saying that Power House is not under Gex
does anyone know how low this powerhouse filter media can bring the ph to? it would be useful not just for shrimp, but also for south american cichlid keeping as low ph without brown water is desired for such fish too =)
I know I wanted to get monoball from this guy I know. But, I was buying too much stuff and didn't buy at that time. I have heard from this guy who used monoball. He said it lowers just little ph but, not too much. Most likely makes pH neutral. Not sure about the those ring types.
PH has rings, monoballs, and pallets. They come in various sizes and you can select acidic or alkaline properties.
So be careful.
As for sizes, it depends on how big is your filter volume and how much surface area you want and what your pocket can afford. If you have a very big volume then you may want a Large size ring instead of a small size ring to fill it up with.
I bought a 3L monoball and it cost HKD580 and it is neutral.
I also bought some pallet type (1L for around HKD200+) and this has acidic properties.
Once I was trying to bring my RCS and snail tank PH up from 6.1 to > 6.5 and I added a 1L pallet that is alkaline and it did work fine.
So it is a choise. Does MH and Daly works less efficiently ??? .... I am not sure but the price is significantly lower.
Just my 2 cts worth.

Sorry guys for the wrong information. The ceramic rings at C328 are from a brand called Mr Aqua not Powerhouse . They are using similar colors and fonts for the packing. Another brand called Aquastar also uses the similar designs for their filter media packages.
