Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi people decided its time to make some room in my work shop as its overflowing with bits and pieces that I probably will not be needing. if any one would like more info. or photos let me know. large stuff will need collecting from Hedge End nr. Southampton SO30 J7 & J8 M27 I can get a postage p...

Hi Stu, sorry you lost this one but a great autopsy mate and brilliant photos most interesting and I look forward to hear how right Duncan feels you got it.

Terry

very interesting picture Dunc, never seen the breeding tubercles so pronounced .

My look on this would be : say it was sold under a completely different name would you still have bought it at £100 a box for a unknown and untested (by any one on here at least) media, at the end of the day if its not BHM that's why its cheaper. Don't no how you stand with the return postage cost. ...

Nice looking stone or is it manufactured , do use a close up next time you get your camera out I'd be interested to know what it is .
looking good though.

Hi Russ That's interesting so your going 4 blocks high laid upright with an outer skin of brick, anything in between ? If it fibreglassed that will increase the strength , just asking as my neighbour just asked the best way to build above ground and I thought to be safe 9" hollows or lay blocks...

Hi Scott

Just found this tread missed it before, an interesting project looks great, I love the gate and sliding shutter set of by the perfect circle , and the scales are real nice, might try something like that for my new fish house .

As Cris said good old duck tap. but the main job of a cover IMO is to cut out that nasty ice cold wind that just sucks the temp. out of you water. Unless you are heating then I can see you don't want to be heating rain water if we get a wet winter, but then again if it is a wet one perhaps it won't ...

look forward to some photo's Stu.

I was supposed to meet up with Dave last week end but family visit meant we had to cancel , but I'll pass on your regards when we do catch up.

Hi Gerry

guess I'm all alone on this one mate hope your doing well, and the good lady , with a bit of luck I'll see you at CB in the autumn .

OK, OK so none of you are going with this one, worse than dragons den you lot, the beer option sounds good though cause I know you don't like to drink alone..

Hi Gaz Not to bad mate thanks hope your are good , I do not have a problem with DO bud ,it was just a question really to see what people thought, I was thinking I might hide a couple of these in my veg bed or water fall just to give a misting effect when we have garden parties and open days, but the...

increasing DO as in Dissolved organics? or what?? Dissolved Oxygen Misting as I have read is a way of adding water to pond and gassing off the chlorine??? Or am I way off the mark again??? gassing off chlorine yes it will do this and absorb oxygen, this is gas exchange, but whether it could be a bi...

If I was worried about the amount of oxygen in my pond I think I'd be more inclined to drop in a 9" disc and throw 60-70 lph of air through it on top of the 60lph supplied by the aerated bd. As a temporary measure in extremely hot conditions it would certainly do the trick, and when the hot sp...
