Hi Terry

Please do not think I am being picky ( its the plumber in me ), you want to change the brass ball valve to plastic.

Metals in the water and all that.

Great pond, any more photos

Hi Bob

Where did you get your small vortex from ?

Hi Stuart Hi Bob Whilst the heat exchanger will perform better in the vertical, at the speed which the pond water is pumped through the unit, the benefit is marginal. Much better to reduced the amount of bends etc. Regarding air, as most heating system are sealed, once installation air has been remo...

Hi Dan

Looking good mate

Nice job on the roof as well, great.

Keep it going.

Thanks for the costs, but as you have swaged most of it ( good man ) we won't get a true idea of what a brick QT comes to against say a free standing fibreglass unit.

As its Gazza's idea GAZZA :D ( we have to make sure he wants to of course ) If not TAGGY :D Can't be me I am far to blunt. :? Just imagine the situation, little Johnny spends all his pocket money on a baby chagoi, aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. :D :D :D :D Chagoi grows into three eyed monster with 27 1/2 shimmies...

OK Guys & Girls. So how are we going to do this. Ideas !! Limit the number of fish to say 2 or 3, that way some folks with the smaller growing on / Qt tanks can play. :D Limit the size to say, show size One 25cm maximum. :D Agree a maximum time, say till spring, around last week in March. Whilst...

Sounds good to me.

Kim I will have a chat over the weekend regarding food etc.

Danny boy, nice fish

Gazza, Sanke is not my cup of tea, but the showa wow.

Is it male of female, breeder size etc etc etc.

& do you want to sell it

The Sakai sanke, was brought this time last year from the Tatigoi pond at the Barn, the verdicts out on this one, he's...

Thought I would keep the thread alive, as I am enjoying seeing everybody else's mutts.

3 more of mine.

As always your opinions are welcome, and valued

Andy

Hi Dan Looking good. Whilst building your QT, would you be kind enough to cost the materials. As this would be helpful when comparing the cost of a brick and fibreglass against the pre-made free standing unit No need for the knock knock at 3 am then :D ( dam your only an hour away from me I was look...

Hi Folks Heres 4 of mine :D Doitsu Tancho Showa, this baby went to the National, silly me thought there was a doistsu section NOTTTT :oops: , so he went up against all the other tanchos. Second :D :D :D , not to bad eahh, eahh 8) Two baby Dianichi Showas, good skin, only time will tell regarding the...

Hi Dan

Looking good.

Fill that vortex with static K1 and job done.

Regards

Hi Kim Whilst they are both growing on tanks at the moment, can easily change the one with the 4 bay, to a quarantine. Make sense to keep a few fish in there, to get the filter up and running, ( using it at the moment to house the fish that I will be moving on, well the smallish ones anyway ) Once t...
