Simply Koi and More Koi

nice one Bob!! but don't you ever go to work ?

i take it from your last trial with fibreglass that youll be doing it BP style and diong it yourself..

come on you have to give a size and an age of the koi!!!

ok folks heres my grownshow for this winter.
it comes from Duncans 2006 spawning and is aprox on and a half inches long.
the picture may be a bit big but hey youve got to make it look big aint you...LOL

well questers i think we should keep the koi to 4 inches and under for the grow-on over winter..
the one i've chosen is a whopping one and a half inches long. wen i get round to it i'll get a photo of it...

keep on building LOL
i think by the time youve rendered/insulated and then fibreglassed youll end up with 657 UK gallons

lets get them guesses in then questers......

if your going to build it about 4 feet high then the idea of laying the blocks flat is a bit of an overkill. Maurice down at koi-uk has used 4 inch blocks and never had any problems. (go have a look at his build) http://www.koi-uk.co.uk/koi_farm_page3.htm his new ponds are made from 6 inch blocks. h...

hi, are you building all four sides to the QT or are you going to use the existing walls?

whats at the bottom of that drain pipe? drain or soakaway

i can see order number one coming your way...

don't worry about the cost of the stuff with one of them tools at your disposal your going to have plenty of "private" jobs to do
more pennies in your koi fund !!!!

Gazza, i'm sure you could spare a piece of the plastic grid. LOL this would surely cure the problems of flow.

theres always the koi show later this month. youll be able to buy all you need in one place and even drag a quester round with you....

Hey Gazza, i think your the man with all the perforated sheet at the moment !!!
half a sheet should do LOLOL

Dave, if you remove the brush ring from the vortex you could fit a home made eazy as i did.

Dave, i see your thread was :oops: hijacked :oops: by carl and gazza but i'm sure they will get round to your problem LOL :D have you got any pics of the filter, or can you identify it from the makers website? they are all built differently and the modifications are also a little different for each.

which of the aquamax pumps are you using ?? on the main filter.
and you havn't said one of the important things.
How many koi are in the 3000 gallons
