Simply Koi and More Koi

Who how and where you draw your own conclusions from. Being a woman when told I am doing something wrong I do take it personally . :wink: It is nice t...

:) Well whats all this talk about block filters working well for others. :lol: Seems to work for many others so worth a try for myself. Hands up all those who in the last year said I was doing the right thing going for block filters. :roll: I don't believe there was anyone, and the more vocal ones s...

Windows in ponds are brilliant they give a totally different perspective to your koi.

The showa look interesting with alot more development still to come, very nice. What are the breeders ?

The guy's are doing a brilliant job, the only regret is that it is not the middle of the summer, they have kept working through gales, sleet and snow until it was too wet to move around. Now on hold until it all dry's up.

Kim I hope the guy gets your pond completed very soon.

It's a lovely shape for a koi pond Gazza. Yes I think most new pond builds now include a window or three, There are another 2 windows to go in yet, not sure if this has ever been done before.

All will be revealed as it progress's.

Day 10 and the pond and filters are taking shape.

I'm sure you are doing very well Jason with your build, believe me if I was doing the job myself I would still be removing the top soil.

March. Bob, the blockwork will be completed next week.

They are the dense blocks 1,000 of them all carried through the garage to the build area ready for the brickies on Monday, the concrete base is going in on Saturday. It makes my arms ache just looking at them, so glad I was not the one moving them.

Onwards and upwards. Yeah.

Latest update on pond build after a short break.

:lol: The gnome/thief I think is marking out where the block filter will go. :) The area behind the garage will be the filter bays 2 off with a walkway inbetween containing all pipework and a window in each settlement chamber also 2 bottom drains to flush to waste, topped off with decking and a summ...
