Hi Dave I may of put that wrongly I should of put some lakes are overstocked and poorly managed, yes again you are right about Koi ponds being on average overstocked which is why we as Koi keepers over filter and do the very best we can for our Koi, some lakes are fantasticly managed but I still fee...

Hi Dave Years ago I used to go fishing, and I went to managed lakes and Rivers, and what you are saying does have merit as rivers manage themselves, but Lakes I find are great over stocked the amount of bait being thrown in was vast, fish being caught with all manor of problems, on top of that every...

Hi Thanks for the comments, totally agree that we have some very good treatments and most of mine are Duncan's but not being sure how long we will be able to get hold of what we are used to using and know work, it seem's like a good idea to have a look around and see what else is out there. My thoug...

Hi All Here is question that has been baffling me for some time so wondered if anyone could shed any light on my thought's. Here is a link to a Carp treatment that anglers use to treat damaged carp before releasing them http://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/store/korda-carp-care-kit-option Now in all proba...

Would it not be possible to use the this filter between the first and second filter so the static K1 has removed all the rubbish, it then passes through this filter which if it was mine I would run with nothing in it and just use the uvc then through the moving K1, the only problem I could see is th...

Hi Gazza Ok I have got it now :D I can have a shower system with BHM ideally coming through a Profi drum (must do lottery more) but it will not be a Bakki :D :wink: After seeing the state of the Bakki shower on that grow on pond it has put me right off of having anything metal near my pond, because ...

Hi Gazza and Sid Gazza you will never be a snob to me :wink: My thoughts are having had a bakki shower a few years ago it was placed in apossition where I would of been unable to do anything to it even I had wanted to, but being still on a learning curve in this "Hobby" of ours I am now in...

Hi Gazza
I will do it was just something I had thought about and wondered because of what they had been through whether it would be a good idea. Always know the best place to come for the right advice

Hi All I know a lot of you run Bakki showers and I have a question, I have just been watching a video and there was a close up of Bakki shower and I noticed a lot of rust. So my question is :- Is there not a risk a metals being put into the water? I thought that Bakki showers were made from good qua...

Hi Sid Thank you again for your reply I can always rely on you for giving a good understanding as to why or why not lol . My cleaning is done on a daily basis which means everything is in the vortex for a maximum of 24 hours give or take, so what you are saying as long as the vortex is flushed often...

Hi Sid Gazza and Geoff Thank you so much for your replies, and Sid as usual a full and in depth answer giving so much information. My friend has just bought an small Ozone generator and it comes with silicon air line and 2 air stones and in the information it said it can be used in a Koi Pond killin...

Hi everyone Well here we are again warmer weather is slowly returning so our thoughts turn again to how we can improve things for our Koi and their ponds. As you may know or not, while my Koi were being looked after during the house move they suffered from being poisoned resulting me losing most of ...
