Marek's Koi Pond
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2017
I built this pond around 1996/7, the pond has always been the same dimensions apart from depth, which I increased from 3' to 5', in around 2005, at this time took the opportunity to add bottom drain and box welded liner as previous liner caused problems with folds in corners, these video's are my diary from around 2017, at which time I also added combi drum filtration.

hope you dont mind I added this video to my website
No worries 👍
Some lovely koi there Marek thanks for sharing the footage. Hope your pond is doing OK mate after those rodents. 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed video, rodents haven't come back as of yet, but I'm more vigilant now 👍
Nice one mate good little meet up to blow the winter cobwebs away 👍 Oh and the car in front was a scirocco 😂😂
Haha, love it Leon 👍 👌
Love Aoki, superb! ❤
Thank you Vic 👍
Some stunning fish there. I wish we had access to dealers with koi of that quality here in Canada. All the best for a Happy New Year and great 2025 pond season.
Happy new year Ken, yeah, spoilt for choice here mate 👍
Hi Marek, happy new year. I haven’t been there for years
Hi Steve, lovely place to spend a couple of hours 👍
@@marekskoipond9083 Hi Marek, will no doubt at some stage but currently dealing with my own pond crisis, have lost 10 fish in quick succession including a few big ones I've had for years. Not a 100% sure why but the water is all good, i don't have a microscope yet so haven't scraped working on the assumption it's Costia, Have removed all the plants from the top pond/veg filter and thrown in 6% salt and crossed my fingers
@@edlesboroughkoipondstevech3546 aaaah mate, feel for you, hope it all comes good, lost my 80cm chag last week, no idea why, maybe old age, stress due to cold 🙄
Nice video Marek and I hope you had a nice Christmas and the family, mate.
Thank you Graham, yes mate all good, hope it was same for you 👍
Nice video Marek and a nice meet up ,and I am pretty sure it's Saturday today 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha, ir was the lamb roast that threw me 😂🤣😂
Did you enjoy your Saturday in the Kia sportage 😂 Sorry I couldn't make it, I hope you all had a good time. See you on the next one 👍🏼
Davebob it's because we were having lamb roast when i got back, confused my days lol, you were missed mate 👍
That little jar makes an astronomical amount should last you ages👍🏾 merry Christmas 🎅
👍 👌 👍 😛!!!
One of the best winter set ups
Thank you Chris 👍
Only 24 sleeps to go👍🏾
👍 👌 👍 😛!!!
Finch Filtration also sell the New Detox
That's good to know Andy, speak to you in new yesr, need more carbon and 4 membranes 👍
Looking like winter has hit you there mate I did my covers the weekend as well as temps down hear in Devon are getting low over night we have been seeing 12 to 14 over night but hitting 2 to 4 now. thanks for filming have a good week
Hi Martyn, yep temps have really dropped this week, last 2 covers to go on soon i guess 👍
Your koi are absolutely beautiful. A credit to you xx
Hi Ruth, thank you so much, I've got a Kohaku i named Orca, because it's gou symmetrical Shiroji patches on either side of it's shoulders, reminds me of an Orca 😊
Your pond and fish are looking great and the autumn colours in your garden look stunning too 👍
Thank you Derek, yes, super colours, but they're si brief, roll on spring 👍
Marek, my friend, I agree the squirrel is hiding is nuts 😳 Fish look well 👍 Nice update, mate 👏 🐟
Thank you Gary ,yeah squirrel's are all over bird feeders ,so no 1 suspect 👍
Nice update Marek 👍
Thanks guy's, roll on spring 👍
The koi are looking stunning as always. It will be sad to see the covers going on but it is that time of year. Already getting overnight temperatures slightly below zero here. Let's hope it's a mild and short winter for all and an early start to pond season 2025. 👍🏻
I'm with you there Ken ,need a short winter , hate it even more as I get older 👍
Never heard of that product? Interesting
@stubbsaquatics6080 Hi Chris ,just released to UK market 👍
Nice one my friend Your koi are hungry and active. I think your pond will be fine without heat. Its nice you have the covers . Don't blame you for not totally covering until you have to .. I am keeping mine going until the last minute too Too bad about animals getting into everything...🐿️
@stubbsaquatics6080 yes mate , they'll be fine without heat ,not gonna chance heating till I'm confident rats have gone 👍
Great update Marek 👌🏻 I did ask on other platforms about this product as I’ve been using Paula Reynolds PDF and no 1 knew what this New product was called apart from what UNKP show cased which he stated PDT 30-50 or something 🤔. Can you buy this from internet or on a site .???
Hi Simon , just been released I believe , Perfect , Absolute ,Shosha showing as in stock , hope that helps mate 👍
Please hit like thumb 👍 and subscribe to channel, thank you 👌
At least the fish are back in the pond and the paddling pool is put away until spring. Let us know when you need the pool setting up before you get the pond fibreglassed and I am sure we can come and lend a hand setting up and moving fish across 👍🏾
Thank you so much, roll on spring, can't belive the size of this patio now everything has been put away, its massive!!! 🤣
Hi Marek, another season finished! Roll on spring
@edlesboroughkoipondstevech3546 Absolutely Steve 👍
Good to see them back home.😀😀😀
Thank you George, massive relief 👍
Happy New fish day Marek ❤
That's it no more!!!!!! 🤣
There’s always room for one more Marek 🤣🤣👍
Haha, i said that before the last four Derek 🤣
Nice relaxing video for a Sunday morning, marek😊I Like the new fish something different in the pond 🤩Yes nice one my friend 👍 🐟
Thank you Gary 👍

Thank you Steve, settled in well and is on the food 👍
Nice koi Marek 👍
Thank you Dave 👍
Nice one Marek 👍
Thank you guy's 👍
Another stunning addition to a very very impressive collection of koi. 👍🏻
Thank you Ken 👍

It seems to be never-ending when we have koi mate 😢 But the fish do look well🙂. Nice 😃🐟
Thank you Gary ,all safe and sound in main pond till spring , and your right, never ending the stress when it goes wrong 👍
Great job Marek bet your happy koi back home again good luck 👍
Cheers Dave, all good now apart from 3,500 tap water ☹️, made the decision, insulation and fibreglass in spring, can't go through thrs again. 👍
Happy days Marek at last you can sit back in the swingseat and enjoy the fish again ❤👍🏾👍🏾
Yes mate, all that stress has disappeared, till Spring 👍
Please hit like thumb and subscribe to channel, thank you 👍
Glad you solved the leak issue and good to see your fish back in their home well done 👏 🫡👍
Thank you Craig, hopefully all sorted now 👍
Great to hear that your koi are back into the main pond. I'm sure they're almost as happy as you are. 🤣 Hope the new bottom drain fitting works out for you.👍🏻
Thank you Ken, yes mate I'm a lit more relaxed now 👍
Hope that sorts it for you mate. 👍 was it expensive? Shame you couldn't have just heat welded a 1" PVC socket to the bottom of the sump when you had it drained. then used a normal bottom drain cover...
Hi Dave, crazy price plus had to give engineer a drink to turn the base down, getting fibreglassed in spring so shall get spigot glassed in place, that will give me a choice of covers then 👍
@@marekskoipond9083 Yeah, this time of year is not good for stripping down a pond. I had enough issues just re-doing my filters recently. good luck in the spring mate 👍
@DavesKoiPond Cheers Dave 👍
I've never seen a bottom drain piece of kit like that. Hopefully it fits and more importantly it works for you.🤞🏻Just wondering, is the height adjustable at all to ensure you have the right gap between the pond floor and the bottom drain cover for the drain to work properly?🤔
Hi Ken, i broke the moulded spigot off the bottom of sump, so this should get me out of trouble until spigot is fibreglassed back in place, i did have to get the ring turned down by engineer, height not adjustable, i have 2cm clearance 👍
Please hit the like thumb and subscribe to channel, thank you 👍
Sorry to here your issue with holes in your liner but glad it’s all fixed now hope you are well🐟🐟🐟🐟
Hi Carol, that caused a real panic for a while, but hopefully all sorted 👍
Another possibility is that the rats dug along the liner and over time the water pressure forced the liner into the gap they made and eventually it split because it stretched too far.
Possibly, who knows, but definitely rats have been at that liner, my fault i guess i knew i had rats, should have acted on it 🤔
Keep going fella I enjoy your content mate
@terryharbert3837 Thank you Terry for your kind words 👍
Awsome collection ❤bro
Thank you, taken a lot of years to train my eye, they're not the best, but fit my budget 👍
Fingers crossed that there will be no more leaks and you can get the fish back into the pond where they belong. 🤞🏻Hopefully you've taken care of the rat problem once and for all. 🐀🪤 Looking forward to the next update.
Thanks Ken, koi will soon be back in the pond, I'm still monitoring rat problem 👍
Marek you could also use mortar in tubes from likes of Screwfix instead of foam. Glad to see you literally got to the bottom of the problem. Leaking pond is always a nightmare.
Good shout, i didn't even think of that, thank you 👌 👍.
Bubble reap ends for tarpaulins 👍👍
Good shout, i shall do that 👍
Mate had it happen to me 6 years ago right in corner rats dug up under it hole size of my finger over night lost 8 koi 😢
Aaaah mate what a nightmare, bloody rats, knew i had them, just didn't think they would have done that 👍
Just caught up with this mate, sorry to hear of your troubles, everyones nightmare having a pond leaking.😮 Glad you have got it sorted now though, looking forward to seeing them happily back home again.🙂
Utter nightmare Dave, caused a right old panic 👍
@@marekskoipond9083 Yeah know what thats like mate, when my drum motor, shower pump, and booster pump all went on the same day a couple of weeks ago 😮
@DavesKoiPond always at wrong times as well , I done my back in lifting that lump of a Showa out the car and into the garden ,wife had just come out of hospital two days before with total knee replacement , my head was spinning 🤣
