Pond lighting - Is it a science?

Can any of you multi-talented Koi Questers out there :lol: offer any advice re. lighting for the pond? I am toying with the idea of adding some light to the pond but I am not entirely convinced if would be worthwhile. Not sure about design, style or cost. Has anyone of you budding Questers built any...

Re: Koi Muppet's On Tour

Well done Lads, Some very good looking fish there. I always wondered quite how the logisitics of signing for them, picking them up and getting them home worked. I know that there's no magic involved but then again hand selected fish delivered from half way round the world is still quite an accomplis...

Re: Koi Muppets On Tour

Great photos Gazza & Bob et al. I can easily pick up a few ideas from these for my own small projects.What boils my blood looking through all those lovely landscapes is that there is no bamboo. Like the prize village idiot [whilst in a Japanese mood] I planted some and now wish I hadn't. :roll: ...

Re: Aquamax Eco failure. Suggestions?

Well there you go Estanque_ Koi. :D In no time at all a handful of posts, heresay though it may be reflecting Questers personal opinions; David's endearing words of the Far East and 'Chairmen' (I think he meant to say) from any nation might be the root cause of the Oase pump failure.

Re: Aquamax Eco failure. Suggestions?

Hi Estanque_ Koi I have no further suggestions other than those submitted and summised by Questers already. Though there a lot of excellent advisors in the group. I would however be keen to know how long Oase have had the returned pumps and why they have not responded or maybe they have? It is feasi...

Re: Koi Muppets On Tour

Had promised myself that I wouldn't take the bait and get all excited about a showl of Koi fanciers travelling to Japan. :mrgreen: However, I find the Muppets on tour photos, all your postings and updates raises a wry smile. Keeping them coming, I for one enjoy reading them as much as I hope you do ...
