Nice update. Bring on the spring. Its always a pain changing pipework round and getting stuff to fit, be worth it when you get those drains in. Baby fish are looking great though, be nice additions to the pond in spring. shame about the lost 1
Every day is a School Day. All just one long learning curve. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Annoying as hell mind. Lol. Keep at it . Your doing a Grand Job. I'm still learning. 😎👍
@@progressivepondkeeping Your welcome. It's just registered with me, the Oral Morphine comment. I hope your doing ok,. They dont give morphine for a Subbed toe. Hope your illness is getting better. We need to get you off the morph.. It does you good, but can also being trouble with it. I know words are cheap. But, I do wish you a speedy recovery. After all, those Fish are dependent on you . 😀 👍😎🐢
@@progressivepondkeeping Well that wouldnt surprise me lol. My head is swimming with Filter Videos I apologise for any confusion on my part. Thanks for putting me in the picture. I wish success and happiness with your pond. Now I must go and sort my bloody playlist out. Lol. Cheers and take care out there. 😁👍
The fry have really grown since your last video👍 . Lots of muck in the filters shows they're doing a good job, wouldn't fancy putting my hands on the water,must have been feeding .
Leon my 800 gallon fancy pond has a liner The company that I got it from in Essex also do box liners that are made to measure I wish I’d of done this with the goldfish pond The goldfish are now out although I’m breeding Bristol Shubunkins currently in tanks I’ve got Japanese koi in the 800 gallon and spring I’m building them a koi pond They are Tosai and Nisai so they are not being kept in poor condition with no room Funny thing is the biggest Kohaku and others are sitting in the folds at times I was worried they were secluding themselves due to an infestation of bacteria or parasites I was wrong The folds must be insulating the water and they are simply looking for warmer water They definitely are not sick I’ve double checked that It’s coming late October in County Durham 🥶 I’m looking for warm spot in the house i empathise with my fish 😂 Your filters have some capacity they are holding big numbers of media Bloody good ingenuity Leon 👍👏👏
@@progressivepondkeeping Fry are funny things mate I’m raising some Bristol Shubunkins a tiny spawning but some potential there They are so fragile till you get a couple of inches on them Koi be exactly the same Cool fry tank 👍✌️
Fish look great mush should you be adding clay with temps being low I use breeders secret if temps are below 6c I don't use it has says on back off package
Haha, I really hope you film it when you "Rope some kid in" to the bottom of your barrels 🤣🤣 Great vid, unreal how much detritus even with no feeding 😯
Hello mate, it's in the video titled "catastrophic filter failure" I had to build it in a rush because my old filter burst emptying my pond so I didn't get much footage 👌👍
They appear out of nowhere. That is the magic of K1. Hats off to you with your winter pond maintenance. Tea time.
Thanks mate, yes they sure do. Roll on the warmer weather 👌👍

@@progressivepondkeeping no mate it's what keeps us all going lol
That's it mate 👌👍
Great vid as always bud 👍 they'll be great in your pond. Love the markings on your dog by the way.
Cheers mate, yes I love the brindle pattern 👌👍
Wow you do work hard keeping those filters clean. Hats off to you. Sorry to hear about Rudolph. Such a shame.
Cheers mate yes a shame to lose one. Hopefully with the modifications I'm planning I can make cleaning it a little easier 👍
The new koi are looking great, shame about Rudolf ☹. Bet you cant wait to complete your filter mods to make it easier to clean. Stay safe 👍
Cheers mate, yes big shame about rudolph. Yes mate I'll be happy when all is done hopefully it won't take me all year to get round to it 😂👍
I hate doing that job.. At least with our winters they are all shut down.
Good video
Cheers Chris I'm hoping it starts to warm up slowly now 🤞🤞
The fry have really grown since your last video👍 .

Yes mate they seem to be growing well, yes it was absolutely freezing 🥶🥶
Soon be spring mate, can’t wait to see them in the pond
Yes mate I can't wait 👌👍

The goldfish are now out although I’m breeding Bristol Shubunkins currently in tanks
I’ve got Japanese koi in the 800 gallon and spring I’m building them a koi pond
They are Tosai and Nisai so they are not being kept in poor condition with no room
Funny thing is the biggest Kohaku and others are sitting in the folds at times
I was worried they were secluding themselves due to an infestation of bacteria or parasites
I was wrong
The folds must be insulating the water and they are simply looking for warmer water
They definitely are not sick I’ve double checked that
It’s coming late October in County Durham 🥶 I’m looking for warm spot in the house i empathise with my fish
😂
Your filters have some capacity they are holding big numbers of media
Bloody good ingenuity Leon 👍👏👏
Thanks Simon. I have a small golden tench in the pond and he hides in the folds all winter 🥶

Koi be exactly the same
Cool fry tank 👍✌️
Cheers mate. Would be interesting to see a video on your fry
@@progressivepondkeeping aye I try and upload something Leon
Awesome mate let me know if you do 👍
Definitely amazing how much waste they create even in colder weather. Come warm weather, it’s a good thing we love them!
Yes mate you're right. I'm getting rid of the gravel and filling the first 2 barrel's with k1 soon hopefully it will be easier to clean 👍
Fish look great mush should you be adding clay with temps being low I use breeders secret if temps are below 6c I don't use it has says on back off package
Cheers mate, yes I use it all year , mine doesn't mention not using in cold water
I'm sure you can use most koi clay at any temperature. What brand do you use in the summer?
@@progressivepondkeeping Nedkoi breeders secret clay
Cheers mate I'll have a look 👍
I think I might go back to nt mediclay when this bag is empty
Haha, I really hope you film it when you "Rope some kid in" to the bottom of your barrels 🤣🤣 Great vid, unreal how much detritus even with no feeding 😯
😂😂 I will mate. Yes tons of it, when I change my liner I will vac it more often to keep it to a minimum
Summers coming mate soon be time to get them covers off and start the new year
I can't wait 😃😃
Great video M8 remember Rome wasn’t built in a day 😂 just be patient you will get there soon my friend
Yes mate you're right thanks 👍
