Simply Koi and More Koi

I don't know is you've seen on my 'build' thread (It's in quotes as no building has taken place for a long, long time...) but I'm planning a change of plan for my pond. I was planning the bottom drain and surface skimmer to both gravity feed into a seive, then pump straight from there via a pipe pum...

Cheers guys - wish I could claim credit but a mate did that for me! He's a brickie and a damn good one! (anyone in the Nottingham area needs one then PM me!) He did all the block and brickwork in an afternoon though that was at a bit of hectic rate - would normally take a bit longer than that! What ...

My pond build is slowly progressing (due to bad weather, work commitments etc.) and this is where I've got up to. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/edseeley/Pond%20build/02072011475.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/edseeley/Pond%20build/02072011473.jpg I'm updating as I could do wit...

Aren't they kumonryu? Nice scaleless skin! They'd certainly pick up the jumbo award lol!

Happy birthday mate!

Looks very smart Gaz! Like how it fixes to the side rather than just resting on something - might be a much better option for the pond in my greenhouse.

Which one have you got Gazza?

Wow Duncan - what a change! Well done and shame the weather's just changing! Glad the SDS solution worked out ok!

Sorry Duncan i wasn't ignoring you but typed a long response on my phone and then lost it and haven't had time to come back online since. I ended up using another waterlife medication on recommendation from another Tanganyikan keeper. The Protozin seems to have done the job for now.

Cheers guys. i think MG and F will be the treatment of choice as there's a cichlid treatment called Clout available in the states that is a combination of Dimetradiazole, MG and Trichlorphon (which apparently banned over here) so I guess MG and F will be ok with the Dimetradiazole already in the tan...

Hi guys, Hoping you can help me with a slightly different issue! I've got a tank of Tanganyikan cichlids and recently got some new fish. I already had some F1 Neolamprologus helianthus (fairly tough lyretailed cichlids similar to a more common species called brics) and some tank bred shell dwellers,...

Can't believe you're still having problems with her Dunc. Anything any of us can do to help?

Sad to hear Bob and hope we'll still see you around at some events.

Simon what's the difference between your input water and your pond reading? If you're putting sure RO water in (which should have a TDS near to 0) and your pond water still has a TDS of 140 then you've got a fair amount of dissolved substances coming from somewhere. Before you switched to RO what wa...

Could i have some too please Duncan?
