Simply Koi and More Koi

Did mine with a barrow (plus the wife of course)

I am with you on the benching of the base Scottie - once there is a bed of fluff on the pond base it needs a good angle to roll anything into the bottom drain. What I like about the aerated drain is that it keeps the solids in suspension longer and more of it then seems to get down the drain rather ...

I don't have any direct experience but it would worry me a bit.

I cut a 2" pipe hole in my filter with just a hacksaw blade (the plastic cutting type) and no saw / holder.

Is anyone who is going to ****** on the 22nd close to / in contact with Jules?

Close to Sheffield but I don't think I will finish work in time.
