Simply Koi and More Koi

Looking forward to learning and reading more on this. Well done

Thanks Dan,
looks like another Badu then! I have already spoken to Koi Waterlife centre about the fact that my existing pump is only 4 years old and they have asgreed to look at it for me. Fingers crossed I wont need to buy a new one!!!
