Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi Lee...When it goes, it can go overnight....& stays clear for ages....Then it starts like a few bits on the gill plates & on the head....A few patches on the body....Then gone......Mike

Hi...It has been sugested in the past that this is just a little over production of mucus. It only seems to appear on my three dark carp, all three seem to be affected at the same time everytime, & then it goes away again with no treatment....Absolutly does not seem to bother them, but I would j...

Hi...In my past life i have nailed a trout or two with a priest....But these are my pets & I could not do that now...Last time I had to, I just overdosed with sedative & left the fish alone, while in tears feeling pretty cr@p...I could no sooner club my dog.......I know....sad git ...Mike

Hi Gazza & thanks again for digging out the details...If nothing else it does give me food for thought & a couple of ideas....Thanks again.......Mike

Hi Gazza & thanks for posting this up....Can I just ask, do you drop the water to just below your partition & then turn on the air??......Mike

Many thanks Mark for a straight & honest answer ......Mike

I tried them on some slices of orange yesterday, that seems to have sparked off a bit of a feeding frenzy ...Strange really cos last time I tried it they never touched it. ....Mike

Thanks mate...Always willing to learn ....Mike

Hi Gazza & thanks for the detail ...Any chance of a bit of a diagram??.......Mike

Hi Russ, I'm sorry to read you are having problems at the moment, kind of puts my dilema into perspective....What sort of damaged has been caused?? Hi Gazza, as you can see I don't have that much garage left, with 2/3 of the pond inside it & with the 1000ltr K1 vat in the corner, what ever I do ...

Hi Gazza.....I'm open to ideas, What do you sugest I build, something that works like a nexus? either way I do need to get rid of the tank, so whatever I make will have to be with a new tank or the ibc tank......Mike

Hi Gazza.....Yes the bio side is fine, but I feel the bigger the settlement area of any filter the better....Practically all fines are settled out on the right hand side of the box, after the jap matting where the water is hardly moving....My standpipe to the drain is on the left hand side, so at th...

Hi....Don't get me wrong, I can get them going a bit nuts by chucking in a few bits at a time & leaving it a while before repeating it. & they know that when the air is reduced & the skimmer returns are turned down on the pumps (central heating pumps) that food on its way.....I'm not unh...

Hi Gazza....I wont to replace & tidy up this mess :shock: The diagram is an old one & there is another 8' X 4' sheet of jap matting cramed in there & no filter wool in it... I have no water issues to sort out, water params are always spot on & clarity is perfect.. I change the media ...

Hi Gazza & thanks for replying....The fish are heated to 20degC at the moment & I suppose thats going to work a bit against me, because I'd love to just get on with it....I've had the ibc tank that I wont to use sat on the yard for ages.. I suppose I could run a temp pipe from one of a coupl...
