We love Matilda she is gorgeous🐾 we also have a Mediterranean and his name is Franklin 🐾Great seeing the build come together🐾🙏♥️
Thank you. She is a cutie 😀 that's old videos Martin, 3 years old 😀
Awsome Chag
@theressomethingkoiaboutme4563 thank you. I really appreciate it.
Nice fish🔥👍
@@Hoodbob-kz2yh thank you. I appreciate it.
💯👌
@paulsmith9869 thank you Paul
We all know how much you love a chag and what a stunner it is 🤩
@samchanning22 thank you Sam. He has grown really nicely and is a super clean fish. Didn't think he would turn out like that. Thanks for commenting.
Do you run the moving bed during the winter months?
@koditus hi, yes, none of the filtration changes for the 4 seasons. Although the bacteria is fairly dormant during the winter, the bacteria doesn't die. The only thing that changes is that I switch off the two UV from December (when I enclosed the pond at the front) till around end of february/March.
Great to watch your videos looking fantastic
@charlespettis6191 glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the comment.
Loving this content🐾 slowly getting through your videos🐾keep them coming👍
@@CaravanCavapooEscapes hey Martin. Very different to yours 😀thanks for watching.
What type of plant is growing on your shower?! That looks so cool
@JennieLowery hi, it has two non scitific names. Either 'Baby's tears' bit most commonly known as 'Mind your own Business' (I know, strange name)
Looking stunning
Thank you Craig, much appreciated
Very good video.. but I'm wandering what is your monthly energy ( electricity) consume / costs ?
@lymitutit3046 hi, this video is quite old and prices of energy have shot up since. But monitoring the wattage and considering that the pond set up has changed recently (no shower, no tempest, no protein skimmer), currently on the pond I spend £38 a month. That is for two pumps, 1 air pump and one air pump used only to boil the eazypod, two UV (1x25 watts and 1x18watts) which I switch off in winter.
Pond and Koi are looking fantastic Lau! 😊
@Simon.Bryant thank you Simon, much appreciated.
Happy to see that you are still in the hobby Missing your videos 😁🎏🎏🎏
@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish hi, that's very kind of you. Just been really busy with everything and didnt have much to film anymore. Fish are doing great except that I lost the big Mukashi to a tumor... I have thinned out but definitely in the hobby for a long time. Thank you.
Looking great, really missed watching your videos
@JonMitchell-xv7pv bless you. Thank you. Not much to video now. The pond is running and nothing new happening. I did t want to end up doing silly videos for nothing if that makes sense.
THERE SHE IS 😁😁😁😁 Been a long time Lau, hope your all well and everything Pond and fish still looking great 👍🏽
@grahamwright4378 you make me laugh Graham. Don't get too excited, just a little short to keep the account running 😂
Hope u been well.xx
@copelandkoi All good this end. Hope you are both well too. X
Good to see you Back on TH-cam Lau,
@paulsmith9869 hi Paul. I thought it was time to do a short 😀 but won't be doing any proper videos anymore... really busy with lots of stuff. hope you are well.
@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection all good thank you, maybe see you next year at Bkks ?, x

Hi I dosed Lernex for the first time after flukes diagnose and koi have started flashing vigorously, after 4 days from the dose still flashing is it normal?
@niccoc1603 hi, firstly, can I ask, did you use Lernex or Lernex Pro? Flashing after a treatment is a normal reaction and the parasites are getting attacked therefore moving and irritating the fish even more. Did the fish have Gill flukes or skin flukes? You definitely have used the correct dosage for your pond?
Hi thank you, I used Lernex , diagnose was for gill flukes, dosage as recommended (320g for 8000l). I am just surprised they are so actively flashing four days into the treatment, definitely more than before the treatment.
@niccoc1603 Gill flukes are the worst of the two flukes as they lay eggs. So you will need two doses. First one to 'eradicate' the adults, second one to kill the newly hatched flukes. It's difficult to know exactly what is going on in your pond. And I am not familiar with the use of Lernex. But after 4 days, it should be calming down. So unsure what to say on that one..
Hey my girl Lau❤.. hope all is well..looking forward to seeing more content ❤
@ColossalKoi hey. How are you doing? All good this end thank you. Not much time anymore for youtube. Barely watching tv... 😀 busy with work, the animals and camping a lot and photography. But the pond is doing well.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection awesome my girl Lau… I was just missing u and thinking of.. u….it’s good to hear all is well.. take care and may God continue to bless u..
@ColossalKoi same goes to you my friend.
I have dad a garden pond for 30 years and never had a problem with tap water until this year.so yes I've bean chasseing the dragon to to no avail I'm now going to build a revers osmosis system
@chrisjames8977 in certain cases, RO is the way to go.
🤔🤔🤔 Less fish, less fish food going into the system , add hardy plants 🪴 to the system and slot of them. That will (should balance out ) your nitrate issues. Maybe add a large basket ( BCB )of Special Kitty , kitty litter ( well rinsed ) to the system. The clay somehow helps the health of the fish while absorbing contaminants.

Fantastico...
Thank you
what are the doses for breeders secret?
Hi, it depends what you are trying to achieve and what kind of water you have or filtration you have. But there are 2 methods, either daily with 2g per 1000 litres of water, or weekly (use it in the evening) with 12g per 1000 litres. No need to turn UV off. You can use it with salt but not treatments. Hope this helps.
very good job the only mistake made was the multi bay is not pressurized as such needed to be higher. pipe work is a pain. very nice job. another option reseal the grey box put a bulkhead higher up. it all gets complicated some times. love your videos
Hi very old video but thank you for watching. Pond and system have changed now. Appreciate you watching.
Why do you split your inlet from the bottom drain, one going to easy pod, the other to the multi-bay?. If you had one line from the drain to the easy pod then from the easy pod to your multi bay and then your outlets back to the pond from the multi bay that would be more logical. Also the cleaning of you filters in the multi-bay would be easier as the water has already passed through the easy pod before entering the multi-bay. I would raise that multi-bay to gravity feed it back into the pond.
Thank you for your message. Two independent filters in order to have a better flow rate. You can only pull max of 6000 litre per hours via an eazypod. With this system, I can pull 9000 litres an hour.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection How many litres is your pond?
Hi again. This is a 3 year old video and pretty much stopped doing videos 6 months ago. I am not a newbie in the world of Koi 😀 I would suggest you look at may be the last few videos and you will see what was achieved with this system, although some parts of the filtration is not always shown or explained in the videos. The eazypod cannot be a lone mechanical filter due to the feeding regime. Also it's quite common in pump fed system to have two mechanical filtration. The benefit for me at the time was to run it on one pump only and the pump outside the pond.
can I ask how you have managed to get your pump to work over your sleepers I had same pump and because its not self priming it some times would refuse to work. as the pump pipe was above water level.
Hi, you just need to fill in the part from above the sleepers (nearest to the pump) with water. Reconnect your pipe and turn the pump on. After that, if it always work. Even if you disconnect your pipes to clean your retro bottom drain, that pipe near the pump will always be full of water so you will never have to prime again.
hi what size is the skimmer
Hi, pipe is 75mm. That's the medium size skimmer. They have 3 sizes pipe: 50, 75 and 110 mm.
bro paused like, why are you recording me
🤣🤣
Pretty, pretty, pretty.
Thank you. 😊
I think thats a aragoke kumonryu not hajiro
Aragoke kumonryu?? Technically impossible as kumonryu are fully doitsu so I think it's more of a made-up name when people mix a bit of everything. Large scaled hajiro for sure, quite common especially from Kanno farm. This one is fully scaled to the belly line.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection i mean aragoke just means armored scales aragoke koi are doitsu koi that are fully covered in oversized doitsu scales
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection th-cam.com/video/sxlIf5IHwD8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ch0ke3uAb2I4BKcg if you watch this video rick from Koi Wholesale would explain to you that its just a doitsu kumonryu
@dare-bear9842 ok 🙂 not sure Kanno koi farm would appreciate being told that his large scaled hajiro, bred feom a male hajiro would appreciate 😀 This one is definitely a hajiro due to the shape and fave shape.
whats the rubber boot size your using would it fit a 1.5 inch pressure pipe ?
Hi, it's a 2 inch on the collar to be able to go over the UV inlet and outlet but to be fair, it looks more like a 1.5 inch inside.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection thanks for reply what it is my uv keeps leaking using washer and hosetail I'm wondering if i use solid pipe then use a rubber boot over both would b it solve the issue no matter what i do the uv leaks if you tighten the hosetail too much it leaks but if its too loose it leaks no great for a expensive product.
@canonlensesandcameras4425 ah I see. Yeah not ideal. Are the horsetail the original from EA? If they are not the original EA, that would explain why as the EA screwing system are slightly different. I didn't use them as I wanted to stay on the inch pressure pipe.
She is beautiful.
Ah thank you 😊. She is my big girl 😀 gosh she looks small on that video. She has grown since.
I keep asking Tim Waddington for one but he buys them in and hides them lol.
@suzypennycook3047 tell him to source you one. But they become really massive
Hey my girl Lau❤.. how did that Golden Corn turn out.. awesome video
Hey my man. He grew very quickly but like a lot of white corn, he got some black patches which is the throw back from the asagi so I gave him away to someone who couldn't afford large fish.
❤❤❤❤❤
Im so glad to have found your video. I just had a chat with Mark from Cuttlebrook Koi Farm and I really want to do this. Thank you 👍
Hi Douglas, hope you had a great chat with Mark. He is an amazing and kind guy. So you have a pond and you want to cover and enclose for the winter?
I have polycarbonate covers over the bond but even though I live in the SE, we get a cold winter wind off the North Sea and of course, I want to see my koi in wanted too 👍
@douglasbannister9517 same here, I am in the South East. Brilliant so if you have a roof already. You can just fix the polycarbs onto the posts. Eazy. Let me know how you get on.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInectionI will keep you posted Lau 👍
Woow.. koi are looking Awsome my girl Lau… happy new year to you and the family.
Thank you my man. Yes quite happy with their development and condition. Of course, if they were in a much larger pond, heated with more food, they would be much bigger but I'll take care of that next year hopefully. Hope all.is well with you.
Wow the sushi looks amazing 😍
Yeah tasty sushi
As per all looking bang on Mon Petit Poi ❤
They re all doing good. Was holding at 12 degrees but in 3 days I am down to 8.5 Ouch.
They are looking amazing Lau. Happy new year to you and yours. Big love ❤
Happy new year to you too. And thank you, really pleased especially how the sanke has developed considering how he was when I picked him up last year.
Looking 👀 fantastic Lau ⛩🐟⛩
Hi Cesca, they look good. They are entering the winter in good condition. Pretty pleased.
