Gud evening bro! 'twas again, a very informative and useful video creation by your channel! Thanks for this... By the way, can i ask you? Does your koi pond buit with rooftop? Or it has been fully open to sunlight? Which one do you prefer?
Thanks broh! I have a roof over my pond. It's a 50-50 consensus as to roof or not to roof. Some say rain water is safe and won't harm the koi. Some also say rain water, once in a blue moon, brings in very acidic water, too much for the koi to adjust to the sudden pH change. And would result to some stressed koi and even dead koi. To better sleep at night, I went with having a roof over the pond. So when it rains, I am not worried for the kois.
Thanks John, UV light is active 24 hours a day. And yes it's perfectly safe to place it there inside the PVC. Let me know bro if ano yung particular safety concern mo. Safety first tayo kaya I wanna address that thoroughly.
Hello Jeda, is that the Yellow Powder in a small plastic sachet? If yes then ask from the seller for that small piece of paper that comes with it. In that paper is the instruction on how much Yellow Powder to use on specific water volumes in liters.
With this filter system how many gallons of water can it handle? I'm still in the process of building a koi pond in the back yard and will soon be building a filter system. Thanks
btw why didn't u use the drain at the bottom of the mechanical filter drum? i have one like the in my pond. i feel it's a complete failure because when i drain it i only see clear water coming out but no poop.. but when i take out everything and clean it. i see a lot of poop.. frankly i feel the drain option is completely useless.. i will clean my bio filter less after watching ur vdo.. how often do u recommend i clean my bio filter. i used to do it every 2 weeks..
Hello Arif, thanks for coming by this video. When I drain the mechanical filter it will only show dirty water for 5 to 10 seconds and after that only clean water will come out. So its not really an effective way to do the cleaning since most of the collected solid waster are hanging unto the mosquito nets. As for the bio-filters, I only touch them once a year. The disturbance in the bacteria house really affects the pond water. When I do clean the bio-filters I stop feeding 2 days before I do it. I only resume feeding again after 3 days I finished cleaning. So I emphasize here that we take care of the bacteria, they are our silent companion in keeping our koi healthy and comfortable in the pond.
@@arifbobnp yes the nets actually can work as biological media as well. Careful not to stuff them too tightly, we need them to be loose so water would still flow through them so the bacteria can have flowing water all the time. My koi mentor has only fish nets & mosquito nets in his biological chamber and he has 90cm koi in his collection.
Hello Rod, they are available at the textile section of your local department stores. You can also find these nets at most hardware stores since they use it at construction sites of tall buildings to protect people from falling debris around the construction area.
Hello Vraj, yes it would. But opted not to do it for two reasons. First this work around is really simple. Second when the valve becomes slimy & it's surface covered with decomposing fish poop, they fail to do a good seal and water eventually returns to the pond. Albeit very slow. I experience this myself on my old drum filter.
Clean the mechanical filters at least once a week. But if you have free time, you may clean the mechanical filters everyday. I know two personal koi pals that have their mechanical chambers cleaned everyday.
@@thekoipondexperience1259 I'm about to follow your diy pond filter soon! Just wondering where you bought your siphone tubes because I cant find the same ones sa online shops. Yung pang fish tanks look so brittle so Im thinking of settling with the siphones used for cars. Do they work the same??

@@thekoipondexperience1259 can the net work as biological media as well if i already have foam filter as mechnical filter before it reaches the net?

Wow informative video. Keep going po.
Thanks Mitch for coming aboard. Are you from w0Gee?
thanks, very informative. where can you buy those nets (per meter)?
Hello Rod, they are available at the textile section of your local department stores.
You can also find these nets at most hardware stores since they use it at construction sites of tall buildings to protect people from falling debris around the construction area.
nice video thanks for sharing
You're welcome ZE
Wouldn't a oneway valve made out of pvc would prevent the return flow?
Hello Vraj, yes it would. But opted not to do it for two reasons. First this work around is really simple.
Second when the valve becomes slimy & it's surface covered with decomposing fish poop, they fail to do a good seal and water eventually returns to the pond.
Albeit very slow. I experience this myself on my old drum filter.
@@thekoipondexperience1259 Thanks for the clarification
@@VrajeshR you're welcome bro, thanks for dropping this question
Thank u for sharing
My pleasure SL
Should we clean the filter once a week?
Clean the mechanical filters at least once a week. But if you have free time, you may clean the mechanical filters everyday.
I know two personal koi pals that have their mechanical chambers cleaned everyday.
New friend here , thankz 4 sharing sir
Thanks and welcome aboard Lor
Every week talaga po ba lilinisan ang mechanical filter?
In my case yes po. My mga hardcore koi keeper friends ako, daily ang cleaning ng mechanical filters. Water po talaga inaalagaan natin.
@@thekoipondexperience1259 I'm about to follow your diy pond filter soon! Just wondering where you bought your siphone tubes because I cant find the same ones sa online shops. Yung pang fish tanks look so brittle so Im thinking of settling with the siphones used for cars. Do they work the same??
Do you think if there's muck on the biological filter side (I have lava rocks) I should give it a rinse in pond water?
nice! good job!
Thanks broh!
Why did you not clean the old nets?and replace new nets?
