    Awesome common sense design with digging the slope downwards towards the basin to assist in water catchment

    • @KoiAddiction

      It would seem like common sense but typically we run into basins installed 4” above grade. I think most people are afraid of that “shovel thing”!

    Do you a cover to cover with for the Winter, if so what kind do you use?

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depending on how hurt your winters are and how big your reservoirs will determine if you have to winterize the feature and cover it. I would just cover it in anything that would protect it from excessive damage from ice sun etc.

    Can the the big reservoir 45 survive the freezing Weather of Canada?

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes- I’m pretty sure but you would have to winterize. I know Aquascapes has a devision in Canada and I would recommend touching base with them. I know we have installed their products up in Canada but I’m not sure about winter requirements of the basin. Chuck Catton is my contact at AquaScape inc in Canada. Definitely safer to reach out to them since I’m only 90% sure I would not want to steer you wrong.

    hello, if I were to install multiple urns side by side, I would need to install 3 separate kits (urn, basin, pump), correct? Do you know if aquascape sells a kit for each 3 sizes (small medium large)? I only saw kits for small and medium on their site. thanks

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You would need to install a large basin using liner and small aqua blocks underneath the urns. If you watch our video on large custom fountain installation you will see that happen.

    I just got a huge urn from someone but it has a crack in it. Is there a way to seal it but would still be safe for wildlife? And did you say you filled the urn partway with stone? Thanks.

    • @anitahadley2871
      @anitahadley2871 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      By the way, it’s a ceramic urn.

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Never had to repair ceramic but I’m sure it can be done. www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/How-to-fix-broken-pottery-china-ceramic-lesson-1.htm I love Google! Also, the stone we use inside is for safety / stability on light weight fiber stone or fiberglass fountains. Not sure if you need that or if it’s a good idea for ceramic. Would depend on how big and heavy duty the piece you have is. May not be necessary in your application?

    • @anitahadley2871
      @anitahadley2871 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Modern Design Aquascaping Inc. thanks for the reply. It’s definitely heavy enough on it own! Husband just picked up some Flex Seal spray and will give it a try. The cracks are long but not wide, just enough to seep out. Just need to figure out a way to stabilize the pipe in the center because the urn is about 4 ft tall. If I can get it to seal then I’ll shop for a basin and give it a go. Worth a try since it was free. Thanks again!

    Hi John, hope you're doing well. Would you use an aquabasin 45 with a large stacked slate urn? There is no kit for the large, I'm assuming there's a reason for that.

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes sir I think that’s a bad match. If you watch my basic fountain on an advanced install we use a skirt that is 8‘ x 8‘ around the basin, that feature’s splash is just a bit outside of that skirt. I think the large one would need at least 10 feet diameter of a splash zone to catch its water. I would recommend doing that on small aqua blocks and building a custom basin👍🏻
