Simply Koi and More Koi

Please keep posting info about the day out chaps. I am at work on the Friday but do normally get to knock off quite early although heading down from Sheffield to Burton may mean I will get there just too late.

You have an fantastic pond there Terry. Can't begin to think how many hours you have put into it.

John - are you sure they aren't stacking? They normally fit inside each other on the shop shelf but when you turn them through 180 degrees they stack.

Looks like a good way to connect pipes and not allow waste to collect on a flat bottom. WHat are they? Rainwater hoppers?

Hi Gazza I am worried that if I put in much more K1 it won't turn over properly in the cleaning cycle but I do keep adding a bit to increase the thickness and am monitoring this. I suppose I could just chuck a load in and remove it if it doesn't clean. Regarding the pump, I am running an Aquamax 100...

Hi Gazza. Well I modded the static K1 'tray' to lift it up 50mm which in turn increased the thickness of K1 below. This is working very well to remove solids but I was still dissapointed with the fines I could see that were being pulled through. Seeing that the brushes were more or less clean I have...

Another fantastic job Bob. Don't know how you fit it all in.

Only just seen this and really want to join in but have nothing that small and my QT is now semi - dismantled! Decisive action needed!

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. Unfortunately I have not seen some of them until now as I have been able to get on the net as broadband for the entire street has been down for almost a month. Carl - I split it in half as I was uneasy about not being able to get to the waste outlet and hose ...

Yes Dave, I draw it up on CAD and then the laser just cuts it out of plate.

Enquiries welcome but I can't just bring it home and it has to go through the company books so the price in stainless may be offputting! That said, if it does exactly what you want...

Kim - Not been been running it for a week yet but it seems to work in that my brushes are now clean. I have had a couple of cleaning trials and this seems to work well too. Only negative I have is that after turning it all over with air and refilling some particles do get washed on into the ret of t...

It is great having a laser cutter at work as I can sort out almost any shape. Problem is stainless prices have gone through the roof.

Dave

I was going to get exactly the problem you described so I have increased the surface area by adding an open channel to the transfer port.

Only been running a few days now but I don't get the drop in water in the next bay.

I have been giving this a lot of thought for some time. The original plan was to simply split the vortex down the middle but I had to rethink this once my filters were up and running with a larger Aquamax 10000 pump. In my fluid K1 bay the K1 is bunching up over the transport port due to the amount ...
