Your Pond is certainly keeping you busy. Impressed with Graham's football skills..😉👍

[@DerbyKoi]

It's no fun unless something goes wrong and Bizley taught him everything he knows 🐶🤣

[@mykoiobsession]

The joy of owning a koi pond. It's not just the fish we have to worry about but all of the other supporting bits and pieces too. Hope you get everything sorted soon. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DerbyKoi]

Cheers Ken it's certainly not the cheapest hobby to have. Stay safe Andy 👍

[@Peter-su3dz]

The fun we have with are ponds. I do think the problems that were about last year have started all over again. We are getting parasite problems that vary earlier each year . Let's hope that they get sorted out earlier to . See the three of you on 19th April. Remember, job's a goodun guide 👍

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks Peter 🤞I've sorted them, and it does seem like they are getting earlier every year. Stay safe and see you soon, Andy 👍

[@julielove8943]

Oh blimey you don't seem winning at the moment the joys of ponding ❤

[@DerbyKoi]

I'm sure something will go right eventually 😂

[@westbromkoi]

Fingers crossed the treatments have done the trick Andy 🤞🏼. Dont think it would be powerful enough but i have a 5000lph pump you could have 👍🏼

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks mate it wouldn't be powered enough, but I really appreciate the offer 👍

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

It’s never easy having a Koi Pond there’s always something to do or go wrong 😮

[@DerbyKoi]

Absolutely mate but it would be boring if we had nothing to do 😂 Stay safe Andy 👍

[@paulsmith9869]

👌

[@markthomas9144]

I made a vegetable filter had a lot of bad bacteria problems after was a nightmare had loads of plants it too thinking again need some way of bottom flushing it to keep it clean hope yours works better than mine

[@DerbyKoi]

My research tells me they can be a great way to add filtration and help with water quality. But they do require more maintenance, and regular vacuuming. High flow rates help and having the water filtered before going into the veg filter. I hope I can make it work 🤞

[@Steve_1970]

👌👌👍👍

[@readmore7180]

Fyi I have a 6000 lph pump pumping 50ft with a height of 5ft it does just fine :)

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks for that. I think running through the upflow and 2 long returns I might need slightly more 🤔

[@DefenderTravels]

I know your pain. Just had a Pondxpert 30000 bearing fall apart and it’s not 3 years old. These ponds are made to keep us poor 😂

[@DerbyKoi]

I always seem to pick the expensive hobbys😂

[@dazpowell8371]

Iv got to treat for flukes the joys lol

[@DerbyKoi]

Absolutely mate, there's never a dull moment when keeping koi. 👍

[@mucky1957.]

Interesting. I was told that having got the PP ready I should only add 25%, then wait 15 minutes, add another 25% etc until all in. You added all of it in one go. Did you leave the skimmer on while the PP was doing its job ? I leave it off for the first 2 hours and then put it on. Think you need to find a 4 leaf clover asap. Hope everything gets fixed soon.

[@DerbyKoi]

Hi mate I would put it in gradually in the warmer months when the water temps are up because it can remove oxygen from the water but as my temp was at 12 and I increased the oxygen I put it all in one but I did stay by the pond and monitor them just in case and I ran the skimmer for about 10 minutes to get the treatment into the pipes then turned it off for an hour. And knowing my luck I would find one and a leaf would drop off when I picked it. 😂

[@markstarling3016]

Andy interested to know your pond temp as ive been told PP and most other treatments should not be effective under 12c. And I have similar issue but pond is only 10c .

[@DerbyKoi]

Hi Mark, my pond was at 12.5c when treating, but the pp I use can be used down to 10c and the fluke treatment at 12c, so it should work fine. Stay safe Andy 👍

[@copeyskoichattingbubbles4775]

Hi andy i have sent a message to glyn about a pump if he can help you out.

[@DerbyKoi]

Cheers, Graham. I have spoken to him, and I appreciate it 👍

[@carollycett1329]

There's always something todo with pond keeping hope the treatment killed the tric I just hope the flukes this year stay away

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks carol hopefully they're all gone now, and fingers crossed for no more this year.
