You can tell mate - worth it though! I’m keen to see the heating blog too - I’ve got an ASHP, but considering getting a boiler to work alongside it longer term.
Yeah keen to see how you’ve got that set up. I have a 500gallon QT in my fish room, so was thinking I could run one that heats both the pond and the QT 👌🏻 Would save me a fortune on electric bill when I need to ramp the QT up.
Hi frank welcome first what a professionally filmed video. Stunning pond & even more stunning koi you must be so proud of what you have achieved so far can’t wait for the second video love the new shower & the design especially the up pipe protein skimmer.
Hi frank I live in manchester my water is very soft out of tap KH 0 & GH 1 PH 7.5 constant I’m putting bycar in & calcium chloride to keep them both up around 4 but get confused here so many different people on TH-cam videos say have them high an some low as poss can you help thanks for your time. Tom
What a fish the chagoi ,you make things really complicated look easy mate I would defiantly put you in the expert category loved you pond and your fish.
That yonsai chagoi at 5:30 look similar with mine chagoi which came out from Marusei, similar appearance between them up to 90%, wow! I'm get shocked I saw her, so incredible! And this quality of vlog contents very detailed and I like it, koi hobbyist from Malaysia 🇲🇾! ❤️
Wow 🤩 great full detail vlog, mate, I just come cross your channel and definitely gana sub your channel, love your pond n koi’s 👍👍can’t wait to the next one happy days
Solid video and great editing. I’m definitely interested to see how your shower works out. I’m planning a remodel and looking for a bakki shower to be part of my new design. Nice cradle too. Great stuff!
Hi Frank, how’s the up pipe performing…. I’m just fitting a similar bakki shower as you, any tips how far from the shower one should put the T pipe..? Great video by the way ..👍 Cheers
Nice setup love the Koi , one thing missing, Plants in your filtration , so many long living plants available to help you . I never looked back , and expanding , finding spectacular looking plants, vines dipping their feet in your shower filter or the pond . Big cheers from oz
That shower looked sweet. And that skimmer looked to be working well for now anyway, coz depending on how hard you run the RO you won't get any foam soon. I made my protein skimmer redundant when I got the TDS down to 80. Your pond is looking the nuts even in winter Frank. 👌
This is exactly what happened, it chugged hard for the first week and then slowly reduced to next to nothing. Iv now got the top pipe slightly shorter to suit less foam 👍
Loving the videos and seeing your hard work with you own pond. Would be good to see you RO system and what water mix you are running too if you get sometime 😉 love seeing what others are doing with their ponds and filters. My pond had been running almost a year now but always looking at making the filter better. Roll on the next one. 🙈🙉🙊
love the videos. Keep it up, one question... you have the same thermostat as me but mine keeps flashing "hi" and then the temperature that it is set to. How do i stop this so that i just see the temperature alone, thanks!
Yar English reminds me of Adam Julyan. He did an interesting video on Fish knowledge regarding sedation of fish. Where the Gills are essentially the throat for us. So one can use the gills to check if a fish is asleep or not, depending on if they 'gag' or not.
Hi Frank, I am Sean fro Malaysia.. I am actually building a pond very similar to yours 6m x 2m x 1.4m deep. Saw in this video you mentioned if you had a chance you'd do the pond with 2 bottom drains to cope for 40/50k l/h for the shower. Can i know what is your suggestion for me? 1. Single bottom drain running pond @ 20k l/h, with a few jets to help "sweep" the pond, and and shower running at 40k l/h, or 2. Run 2 bottom drain, Pond to RDF to Bio to Shower back to pond @ 40/50k l/h? and if its 2 bottom drain, how should i place the 2 bottom drains, skimmer and return for a good flow? What'd be your suggestion?
Great vid and love that Chagoi. I think I need to be considering one as my next addition. I'm not heated so just have to be patient with the growth though. I can appreciate the time you must have put in to create that video.. Is it edited on an Apple software? Cheers, ANDY...
@@thekoichannel264 Can you recommend somewhere to get a Chagoi? I don't have 1000's to spend unfortunately so looking for realistic prices so will have to grow my own..Cheers in advance... ANDY..😉
@@KoiPondLifestyle yes actually, I was at Queni Koi last week filming there latest shipment and some came in then. Jumbo tosai that will be good value. They have just started quarantine but I’m sure if you call and ask they will keep you a nice female to one side. I’m making the video tonight so I’ll put them in it 👌
Quality video like your skills with the koi handling deffo tell your are a carp fisherman would be great to possibly catch up and no more on the shower mate love the idea like the banter as well right up my street 👍💪

Hello frank your fish and pond are stunning I must.say 😁 I have a 17 ft by 16 ft and very deep 😅 with a huge window ( cost a small fortune 😂) I watched your video from Carl and Alex and got me hooked on since I had a huge favour to ask your achiever ( I know that’s so not how u spell it 😭 ) but if you could please help out a fellow koi lover it would be amazing I like unusual fish and the achiever ( wrong spelling I know ) changes colour through the seasons and I’d love that as I have a orange head ghostie and very unusual sushui and few other koi 🙈 ( I lost my big collection due to my dog 🤦♂️ including my 5 and 4.5ft mating pair albino sturgeons 😭 including my grandad oldddd koi 😞 so I’ve had to restart and it’s been 4 years and they gone from baby’s and now double figure 😅 if you could help for the name of the achiever ( the proper spelling please) as I’d love to get one 🙈 all I can think about it’s crazy how they get on your mind ( I apologise frank im autistic so I’m awful at writing messages 😅)
Brilliant Frank 👏🏻 you’ve set a new level with these videos mate, no ones close to what you’re producing 👍🏻
Cheers dude, put some hours in but its worth it

Yer you can do that, you just just have separate zones. KitsuKoi have got a few ponds and a radiator running off one boiler I think.

Great pond and some gorgeous fish set in lovely garden, I'd never get anything done, because I would be chilling by the pond all day.
Loved it!! This was such a treat to watch.

How your koi have that crazy deep red color.

Could you advise where you got the black floating net from at the end of the vid?
Grat vlog mate id really like to know more about you pond, design and installation; great pond looking forward to seeing more
Amazing sympatic Video:)
Hi Frank
What kind of wood did u use , and is it natural that color or painted ?
Stunning 👍🏻
Thanks for the upoad, very insightful
Very good video how big is your Pond and very nice Chagoi as well
Thank you, it’s 15,500L / 3300 Gallons
@@thekoichannel264 My Pond is 2,500 and I have as well 1,100 Frank
Excellent video, what were the two chemicals you used on fish, thanks
The first one that I put into the bowl was sedate to put the fish to sleep. Then used Tammodine on the damage 👍
Where did you get your feed bins from buddy ? What size are they ?
👍👍👍
Looking forward to your next vlog. Interested in your new shower set up 👍
Shower build video will be going live at tonight at 7pm 👌
@@thekoichannel264 thanks Frank

I was going to talk posh of these videos but decided to talk proper 😂👍
hi mate whats the link for that bio chamber? rewatching the videos as might copy your system on my pond!
Hi am Ricardo from Southampton in Hampshire, the shower you have ordered did it had a protein skimmer bilud in it?
Hi, what medication did you use for the wound? thanks
Sorry I missed your question. Cleaned with wound clean and then treaded with Tammodine 👍
Hey Frank, I really love the design of your pont. Which material did you use for the pont border? Best wishes from Germany.
Hi, where did you buy the inspection bowl from and what size is the one you have? I am looking into getting one.
Was from Absolute Koi, product is :BOW107 Koi Measuring Bowls Pro 106cm x 52cm x 40cm
Ok thanks I have a look now 👍
Hi Frank, I am Sean fro Malaysia..
I am actually building a pond very similar to yours 6m x 2m x 1.4m deep. Saw in this video you mentioned if you had a chance you'd do the pond with 2 bottom drains to cope for 40/50k l/h for the shower. Can i know what is your suggestion for me?

How do you protect from predators.
Couldn't see what you sprayed on last thanks
That was Kusuri anti back spray, a slightly thinner spray Version of the Tammodine.
Also wound was cleaned first with kusuri Roccal 👍
Wow best ever video sir. Can I steel your pond idea.
Go for it, don’t do what I did, do it right the first time 👍
@@thekoichannel264 are you in the Leicester area ?
Where did you order the ammonia readers
Ordered them from Queni Koi 👍
How long can koi stay out of the water like that?
😍😍😍👌
So how do we tell a koi is a real Chagoi and not just a plain koi? I guess buy from a good source would help
Yes but from a koi specialist and not a garden center 👍
Hi frank, are all your koi female? Or a mix?
Great vid and love that Chagoi. I think I need to be considering one as my next addition. I'm not heated so just have to be patient with the growth though. I can appreciate the time you must have put in to create that video.. Is it edited on an Apple software? Cheers, ANDY...

Do you keep pleco in this pond?
I did but they have now been removed 👍
@@thekoichannel264 May I know why? Did they do damage to the water quality and the kois?
Think I’ll stop making videos now. This is very good 🙂
Cheers Joshua, keep at it. Iv only made a few but I spend hours watching other videos to get ideas.
Why do you take the shower from the drum and not the bio side?
I pull from both the drum and the bio 50:50, this gives the water more contact time in the bio chamber 👍
😆👍
