Simply Koi and More Koi

I've done a bit of night diving in my time and even in fresh water at night it looks like coconut juice with all the fines. Not that I've tried drinking it but the verscocity of it and all that. The lighting in my mind, is subtle and just aimed at lighting the side of the pond walls, as opposed to C...

Martin - We must of posted at the same time this morning and mine deleted, no probs a re-write is in order you’re advice is more worthwhile. :D Thanks for advice on the "Main Filter Suite" without doubt an apt name. Mine has no name as such; it’s just 'the big 8 foot hole' at present. Whe...

Thanks Gazza Note the condensation issue, good advice from hands on experience. I will now adapt my plan and add in an auto-condensation extractor.

Please can Nexus owners advice what clearance they need above the Nexus for cleaning and general maintenance :?: My pond build is to ground level/water level, with 2 x Nexus adjacent to pond in a cellar area. I will be building a concrete floor above the position of both these Nexus and would like s...

Dave, Yes its loads of hassle if the lights are waterside i.e. in the water. Andy's idea is to make holes through the pond wall, pre glassing which will then remain hollowed out dry holes. After the glassing, seal off pieces of glass so they are minature windows, same as the windows people put in an...

Apologies for not responding sooner, if I mention Vista + hard drive + crash I think I'll cut a frustrating boring story sideways. I am now reverting to XP. Andy, your idea/thinking is on the money and a lot more succinctly put than mine. I understand exactly what you mean and more to the point that...

Hi Bob,

Good to see you posting. One assumes you planned the pipework specifically and meticously in the event such a castophe might have struck?

Am suffering huge IT problems with Vista! So will sign off before the next crash. Hope the fish pulled through OK?

Louie, A quick one liner made in jest though the outcome is a satisfactory result. I would expect them to recover the faulty filter and inturn exchange with there wholesale supplier, unless they make themselves. You mention your water has become crystal clear in little over a week having stopped usi...

Nice one Louie,

Those Gents are all heart, well done you. So, are you repairing the spare one?

Hi - Suggest a newish product by Unibond 'Repair Metal'. Two tubes and when mixed you have a short period of time to apply. Its very good and sticks literally everything back together thus the metal claim. Intro also points out its good for rads under pressure etc. Circa £4.

Best of luck.

Way to go Lee,

Nice piccies Mukka, are you glassing? When do you think you will finish this off?

Jules, Thanks for lighting link, no doubt see you soon. "Fire for effect"..... Look through cover not around it....Take aim and shoot :shock: All these military terms in our days. That reminds me, has anything special arrived for Christmas yet? :D Do we have a mini Jules or Juliet :?: Best...

Thanks Vippymini Your not kidding! Blimey UFO city.

Cheers

Thanks Matt, Lighting certainly seems to be a personal choice and some people may have misunderstood the rule of subtlety. The UFO concept sounds surreal and not my cup of tea. As you say each to their own. Beam me up Scottie :shock: I've sent you a PM re. lighting as I’m pondering with the idea of ...

Thanks Jules, will call to discuss. BTW where do you plug the light into the bead system?
