Koi Pond Vlog #001 - Introduction to my Pond
มุมมอง 1.9Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome to my first Vlog and Introducing my Koi pond build
HI Andy, Lovely pond mate, like you I live next to a reservoir & nature reserve, as well as the river Thames, and my pond comes under threat from Heron, Cormarant, and, yes, Otter, though my pond is now 18 years old I recently built an "open" enclosure, and more recently a "closed" enclosure, not just for preditors, but as I started heating it, this is a great hobby, but it does have its ups and downs, anyway I have enjoyed your vid, and will catch up on your other content, so I have just subbed you, very best wishes, Tony @farmoorkoi 😀
@@FARMOORKOI Thank you very much mate
7:14 this Kumonryu reminds me of the mama toman snakehead fish. 🤩
Some absolutely stunning koi there🧁💯👌👍👍👍
Very cool Andy! Hope you’re having a great time! Have you tried an egg salad sandwich from the family mart yet?
Enjoy your trip Andy wish I was there lol
@@Brand-Family-Koi-Adventures it's a pretty special place
Koi’s in Japan are on another level enjoy Japan 🇯🇵 trip mate 😎👌🎏🎏
@@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish Thank you mate
Another great video 👍 I also have a Nexus 220+, and I have put a beer sieve in the middle of the EZ, so that it catches fines. Have to clean it out every few days, but it certainly helps clear the pond.
Great first video Andy 👍 Nice pond and another channel to watch, so just subscribed. Looking forward to your future videos.
That’s a nice pond you got there my friend I’m so glad to see someone else has a 3” bottom drain thought I was the only one I have a 4” Cockney Koi bottom drain but with 3” re diced pipe work You got a good set up mate 👍
@@asterixborden-koi6881 cheers mate I think 3" is perfect for a Nexus given the flow rates
Hi Andy, pond looks brilliant and a great size… 👏🏼 👏🏼 👍🏼 Just sub’d, Rich from Shrewsbury sent me over…. 🐟 ⛩️
@@AndysKoiPuddle cheers thank you mate plenty more to come 😁
I've just subscribed Andy, the first one is always the hardest!!!!!
@@shrewsburykoi9127 cheers mate your probably only just down the road from myself being from shrewsbury
@@andyrowbottom Yes I've just seen that you are in Church Stretton so one of the nearest Koi keepers to me I know. Cracking pond and I see you have a Tamasaba 🤩
@shrewsburykoi9127 u have to pop round at some point 👍 Gotta love a Tamasaba !!!
@ yes will do when it warms up a bit 🥶
@@shrewsburykoi9127 hopefully things will be on the change soon
I have the same auto top up in my drum 👍
Gravity fed drums that clean using pond water are nigh on impossible to set up a trickle in, as you never know how much they will clean, so a simple cistern valve is ideal.
Just found your videos keep putting them up 😁😁 me old boots 🥾🥾 Yorkies koi
Hope to see you at the Koi show's me old boots 🥾🥾😁
Nice simple and clever mate getting some ideas for my pond 😎👌🎏🎏
Hi nice video's do you have any air going into the pond either air stones or air curtain
@@kevinellis4755 nope only air I have is the Fujimac 100 in the outer of the nexus I just to run an airbar but found it made the pond turn over in a funny direction
Nice setup You got a new subscriber Keep the video coming 😎👌🎏🎏🎏
Just binge watched all of your vlogs, cracking job 👌
@@thekoichannel264 Cheers Frank Thank you very much .. one day I'll be able to some as good as yours .. hopefully got alot coming up in the future including the AJKS and Japan trip very soon 😁
Just subscribed to you pal nice pond look forward to seeing more content
👍
Welcome Andy, looking good mate. 😊
@@StokeKoiAdventures thank you mate 👍
To this day I still have no idea how a nexus or easy pod works. They aren’t common in the US. You’re talking about the extra media is helping me understand how they work. Thanks for that!
@@The_Koi_Pit there pretty simple in there design.. they have there limitations but they do work brilliantly when used correctly
@ I’ve always understood the basic concept. Thank you for the more in depth walkthrough
This pond is awesome! I love how you can enjoy your fish from inside the pump room. How many gallons is it? I love the story of how you got back into the hobby, dude! I’m glad you’re giving TH-cam a try. There is a pretty cool koi community here. Just subscribed to your channel. I’ll be checking out your other videos.
@@The_Koi_Pit Cheers mate 👍 the pond is 1800 Gallon .. I've got some big things coming up including a Japan trip
@ is it really only 1800gal? It looks much bigger on camera. Excellent pond man. I’m looking forward to watching future videos. Hope you have fun on that Japan trip
Brilliant video thanks Andy 👍
Hi Andy, looks like you have an auto top up set up on the nexus could you please give some more detail on how that’s done please, cheers Tony
@@TonyKoi-t4w Hi Tony is just a toilet valve from Screwfix mounted on a plastic bracket this one is good as it has fine adjustment for the level
@ thank you, do you have any pics of how you have set it up please
@@TonyKoi-t4w type into Screwfix - Fluid master side-entry fill valve 1/2" and then make a plastic bracket to mount it
@@TonyKoi-t4w I'll do you a video tonight if I get the time 👍
You really do have a great set-up, I’m looking forward to seeing it develop as you move through the new season😊👍
@@TelfordKoiPond Cheers mate hopefully some big changes this year
Could we see some footage of the old pond too
@@wendyrowbottom2727 don't worry got a video in the making just for that 😀
You certainly don’t need any tips from me, you’re a natural😊👍. Really great introduction to your new pond (which looks great by the way). Good to see you in front of the camera. Looking forward to seeing how you progress in the spring😊👍
@@TelfordKoiPond Cheers mate got a few more videos in the making and also a Japan trip the end of January 😁
Welcome to TH-cam Andy great first video mate good luck 👍
