Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi Silverghost, i dont wish to sound rude But as nice as the guy is who is building your pond i think he maybe a little out of touch with the times as far as Koi ponds go. A bottom drain is really a must in a Koi pond thousands of Koi keepers over the world cant be wrong :) I have spoken to many peo...

Ping pong balls! I saw an article in one of my Koi mags where a guy put hundreds of ping pong balls on the surface of his pond which he says works well for insulation and ventilation. And i guess there would be no worries about fish jumping out and getting stranded as the balls would seperate.

All they use to make a box welded liner is a hot bonding tape to vulcanise the rubber together i believe

Hi Dave, I think most people have a gap between 1 and 2 inches on the drain cover the bigger the gap the more water it will pull through. I have been thinking on the lines of a Nexus just as a Biological filter due to the countless hours ive spent talking to people on the subject of Nexus's and who ...

Nice collection of home breds there, something i hope to do in a year or two, take the hobby up to the next level and give home breeding a go, if i produced just a couple with that quality i would be happy. First obtain some quality breeding stock Well done.

Hi Gerry, no i wasnt thinking of having a go at building it i came across it and thought i would post it incase anyone else wanted to have a go if they hadnt seen it. I have thought about trying to build my own filter but not one of those although it proberbly works fine on a small pond

Now i found this on another site so could be in trouble posting it? If the moderators feel it is naughty to post and decide to remove it i understand. I take no credit it designing this it is down to the guy in the post. http://forum.koimag.co.uk/tm.asp?m=142589&mpage=1&key=" onclick=&q...

Hi Carl. Best of luck with your build let me know how you get on. Kind regards....Martin. You too. Another thought i had was putting static K1 in the vortex like this [img]http://www.koicymru.co.uk/img/ponduk03t.jpg[/img] (stolen picture :twisted: :wink: ) as well as in the main filter. But at the ...

Check this out Item number 220309777727 if anyone is interested? Im not quite sure what to make of it though as it states the Nexus standard? With Answer 325, it showes a pic of either the 200 or 300 model, so i emailed the seller and he replied with "the nexus is the standard with the 325 answ...

Hi Jules, The trouble with there being a thousand ways to filter a pond it can get confusing. Everybody has their own way of doing things offering different & conflicting advice. The set up I mentioned earlier is something I saw on the EA stand at the national show & it is also shown in the...

The only thing I have possibly done different to others with this installation is that I ran 4" pipe from the nexus right to the inlet of the Optimax ! using the 4" fitting that comes with the pump. Hi Mike, Im a new kid on the block and was scrolling through the site and posts and came a...
