Simply Koi and More Koi

This is one I made last year, I didnt bother with the reducers, just got 2 boss T pieces and a 4" rubber bung from B&Q, bit of 4" pipe and 1.5" push fit I already had and bobs your uncle! £10 later: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/norvernrob/mini-PICT0014.jpg[/img] ...

What the hell is your neighbour doing booking a structural engineer to check something on YOUR property? Tell him to stick it, it doesn't sound like he's going to be a good neighbour anyway. Incidentally my pond is just over 2000G, base is 4" concrete, walls are 4" blocks on edge and it ha...

That makes mine look like something from the flintstones! Cracking job there Baz

Hi all Just an observation on the coloured/clear water theories. It's well known in angling that fish in coloured water are paler than fish that live in clear water. For instance carp in a crystal clear lake tend to be very dark, in coloured water they are significantly paler, the same applies to Te...

I haven't got the room for anything else anyway at the moment Gazza, I have to think about how much bigger the fish in the QT will be in a couple more months :shock: And the main pond isn't heated. I'll definitely be in for a few of these visits, this ones just a bit too soon after xmas, especially ...

This one's a bit too far for me, plus I hate going somewhere when I can't afford to buy

Jason, I used to have the walls of my shed dripping when the QT was running. Now I have made a little tent of transparent plastic that I drape over the top. This is hooked up to a tiny 5 watt extractor fan which blows the air outside. Now none of the vapour gets into the room as the tent is under n...

Showa for me, though all 3 are fantastic. If a bit more sumi comes through and the head whitens on the sanke (which i'm assuming it will) it will look awesome.

No.2 for me too. You won the lottery or something Del, buying the house next door to build a 16000G pond in the garden then buying up all these great fish!

Cracking pond and fish mate, keep the pictures coming

Glad to hear everyone had a good time and some good fish were bought I got home from work at 9am after working all night and was just too tired to drive down. I went shopping this afternoon so at least thats finished now

I'm now not sure if i'm working thursday night or not

I doubt anyone else is around Sheffield, but if there is I can take 1 passenger in the front + 2 dwarves in the back seats

I may tag along guys if thats ok. Friday is my day off next week. I don't think i'll be buying even though i'm working overtime every night this week, new mortgage will take care of that :roll: I'm in Sheffield though so would probably meet you there. Rob (no my name isn't James, it was just the fir...

Hi I pump water straight from my QT over 2 showers, I have a layer of the filter wool stuff on top of the media in the top box, this definitely works as the K1, Bio balls and Jap mat in the boxes below stays very clean and there's no fines in my water. The filter wool does need changing every week o...

Looks good Bob, you are certainly handy at making your own bits and bobs! 1 Question though, what is this going to do that a few plastic stacking boxes wont? Or is it that you can't get boxes in these dimensions?
