Nice to meet you today Justin, we seemed to have a lot in common.

Every time I lifted a cover off of a filter, there was a frog (or 2) or a newt. All went into the frog pond!

Yeah that is a cracking pond. If I ever move and had the space that is the sort of pond I would build.
As for the Koi in it some real beautys. The size of some of them is unreal. The Shiro has got a head the size of a Bulldogs, and I have to say the Kigoi is probably the biggest Koi I have ever seen. Maaaasssiiivvveee!!

That would have to be a different thread!

I havent photographed or measured any of the main pond Koi for about 18-months, dont think I've even got any up-to-date pictures of the pond either. Too busy ............

Blimey Bob if You are going to start measuring some of Your monster Koi I will have to pop over again.
I will bring My 15 meter setting out tape measure. You might not have a tape long enough for that Kigoi :lol:

LOL Justin

To measure them I do in fact need a hand, somewhat difficult on my own, probably why I havent done it for a while. Some time soon though ........

Feel free to come over on Sat 31st if you are free, a few Questers will be helping me with that settlement demolision/conversion. If we get finished early and have any strength left, you can measure them!
