Simply Koi and More Koi

well i've built one of these air powered protein thingys and no matter how much air or how low in the water i put it i just can't get it to produce any foam!!!
does this mean the pond is void of the neccessary stuff or what?

come on then mail it to me and i'll slap it on the board.....

still don't know what a 5065 is?

a 5065 adaptor? whats one of those????
come on kim we need pictures!!

right heres a queery.
is the 90 degree downward bend really neccessary on the water return?
if so why?
if not why is it there?

Hi Kim ,

What did you find to use as a reducing cone on the top?

we don't want links we want pictures.
are they water proof or just splash proof, as plunging my £400.00 camera into the pond sends shivers down Janes spine... and could restrict me for child number six. (if you know what i mean)

well i think that deserves the gold BP badge. what a great and easy to follow design.
just a couple of questions.

1. where did you purchase the SS screen?
2. is the internal pump really neccessary?

if you take off the hole vortex/dust collection assembly and remove the top air filters you should be able to use all of the assembly. just attach a pipe from a pump on the inlet and another on the outlet and in theory away you go!! :shock: :shock: you might need a bit of sealing tape around the mai...

John, i have thought of that one and i even asked good old dyson themselves if it would work. their answer was that they made vacuum cleaners.

in answer to Mekoi, the fish going in are only fry of about 1/2 inch so the mesh has to be small. and Gazza i did say in my post its NEARLY finished> LOL right it now has a pump (aquamax 10,000) [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/vippymini/my%20koi%20sept05/2006_07022005tillie0002.jpg[/img] ...

Hi all, now on the debate of whats a TT and whats a SHOWER? my understanding was a TT was fed from the last filter bay (clean water) and returned to the same last filter bay at a rate of 200/500gph, and a shower is fed directly from the pond and returned to the pond at a rate of 1 to 2 times the pon...

right well i've had my 4hrs sleep after a busy nightshift, so its out to the garden for some more BP magic Jane got one of the traditional water-butts this morning and heres the results first a 4" end has a 1.5" tank connector fitted and then fibreglassed to the bottom side of the tank ( i...

bob, are you just going to use a waterbutt or are you going to be more adventurous in your new found skill and make yourself a fibreglass one using the waterbutt as a mould. it'll be much stronger and long lasting

sure looks like a good job well done Bob, they'll be no stoppin you now..!!

good for you Bob, well have you doing the odd pond here and there.LOLOL

you certainly picked a cracking day for glassing. just don't put too much catalyst in with the resin or youll look away and when you look back youll have a solid block of resin with a brush sticking out..-
