Re: secoh 80 air pump repair

hi

one is making a pumping sound when I switch it on and then fade to almost silent. The other is completely dead when I switch it on so could be terminal.

secoh 80 air pump repair

Hi This is a long shot but I thought I'll give it a try. I have two secoh 80s which were bought second hand but in really good nick. Both have overheated over the last few days due to the heat mini heatwave. I've taken the casing apart, checked the diaphrams and cant spot anything obvious. Does anyo...

Re: Bacteria house media

Hi Sexykoi

I've recently installed my bakki and have around 60-70kg of BHM in my showers. Would also be interested to hear about this new media. I see also you're selling a double bakki at a very good price, what filtration are you using now?

Re: gold label sealer

Last summer I G4 the whole pond and thought I read all the instructions and had prepared the pond properly but looks like something didnt go right as its all peeled off. This time round, I'm going to make sure I double tick all the boxes.

thanks for the tips Jules

what am worried about is the g4 may not adhere to the gold label.

Hi My dad's 1200 pond has a leak and I drained it to find that the G4 has peeled away. The pond has some old cracks on the render down the side of the pond which I tried to patch up with this plastercind stuff last year.

Re: Koi Muppets On Tour

must be a dream come true to harvest a mud pond -does Gregg know the value of those koi he's carrying from the mudpond to the truck :shock:

the white on those koi from the pics is incredible esp Matuse nisais kohakus.

as they say bob, keep those pics coming.
