Simply Koi and More Koi

sounds like a plan

To be honest I wouldnt run a bead and shower on the same system. I think You would get much better results with just the shower, with the full flow of Your pump over it. I run the same shower as you have purchased with 2000 gallons an hour going over it. My growing pond is 1700 gallons I have a bott...

what pump will you be using ? as through a bead then over a shower is a big ask.
Or are they two separate lines of filtration
Justin

Echo Gazza, You can get away with other media but that works better in a trickle tower situation. There is only one media to have in a shower BHM. Two box`s on a small system in a homemade shower, will work a treat as long as You have the correct flow going over it. It will be the best £280 You ever...

Ok is this pond above ground or completely sunken, as the answer will give You different options. I would say digging the pond out is a reasonably easy task. Then a bottom drain can be fitted Pipe work can just be tunneled under neath existing wall. By digging down on the outside of the pond with a ...

got bored after about three lines. Save Your pennies and buy a Bakki Shower, in My experience they are about the best filtration around, and work in perfect harmony with a Nexus or pod.
Justin

Two pods will not cope with that size pond, on there own. Pods are great mechanical filtration, but as sole mechanical and biological I would have to hang a question mark over them. AS Brian says running along side a Nexus 200 on the size of pond You have, you will have a great little setup. For You...

HI Taggy if it were Me I would have it in the shed. I am sure in or out it would work great, but for Me I love to go down My shed, switch the light on and stand in the warm and dry and feed My Koi on these long cold dark nights. The other plus side of this , You have somewhere to hide from the wife,...

Doutsu Matsuba?

Am sure in the current financial climate you can find builders who will do it for less and there are always corners that can be cut and stuff you can do yourself that will affect the final figure. Martin[/quote] Are builders no longer aloud to earn a living :evil: If a jobs worth doing its worth pay...

What did You have in mind? I have sent You a pm
Justin

Dont worry mate its in safe hands
Justin

Thanks for the kind words Gazza, Next time! You on the move? You know if I do it for You it will have a window, No argueing :D Will, fill free to give Me a shout even if its to run a few ideas through. Just as a guide I normally do all the block , brickwork and render on a 8,000 gallon pond for exam...

No probs High dens concrete blocks, 100mm x 215mm x 440mm.
Justin

Yes You can lay the vertical but You will still be using blocks that are 440mm long, If You are trying to get round a really tight turn when You lay the course over the top they will over hang and hatch and grin makeing the render a little more of a task. When I built Glen & Annettes pond, on so...
