Simply Koi and More Koi

Well you started Mark!!!!!

Hi Andy,

Great to hear you finally have some fish in the pond. Is everything running OK then? All the filter water levels and turnover working as you designed it to?

Fibreglassing is fun isnt it - lol

Sounds like a good plan Jon

Not totally sure Andy, may depend on foam type. So do a trial on something else before you do and try that first.

You can obviously glass onto kingspan, so you could easily foam fill, cut it flat, then cover with some aluminium sticky foil and glass over that!

Blooming useless he is, been saying to him for weeks about getting some pictures up on here. Reminded him again today, but I'm not hopeful! LOL

I've been assisting Des with building a fish house around his pond. Firstly a large pergola, then covered all round in 25mm poly carb. Water is currently around 15 degress, it's real nice in there and has allowed Des to make many more changes/alterations to the electrics and decking in the warmth. O...

Looking fantastic Andy, filled at last eh

Is it all working out as you designed it to be?

Andy,

I'm controlling the temperature at 8-degrees, so a little cold!

Looking great Andy, wont be long now and you'll have fish in there!
