That’s a nice pond you got there my friend I’m so glad to see someone else has a 3” bottom drain thought I was the only one I have a 4” Cockney Koi bottom drain but with 3” re diced pipe work You got a good set up mate 👍
HI Andy, Lovely pond mate, like you I live next to a reservoir & nature reserve, as well as the river Thames, and my pond comes under threat from Heron, Cormarant, and, yes, Otter, though my pond is now 18 years old I recently built an "open" enclosure, and more recently a "closed" enclosure, not just for preditors, but as I started heating it, this is a great hobby, but it does have its ups and downs, anyway I have enjoyed your vid, and will catch up on your other content, so I have just subbed you, very best wishes, Tony @farmoorkoi 😀
You certainly don’t need any tips from me, you’re a natural😊👍. Really great introduction to your new pond (which looks great by the way). Good to see you in front of the camera. Looking forward to seeing how you progress in the spring😊👍
@@andyrowbottom Yes I've just seen that you are in Church Stretton so one of the nearest Koi keepers to me I know. Cracking pond and I see you have a Tamasaba 🤩
This pond is awesome! I love how you can enjoy your fish from inside the pump room. How many gallons is it? I love the story of how you got back into the hobby, dude! I’m glad you’re giving TH-cam a try. There is a pretty cool koi community here. Just subscribed to your channel. I’ll be checking out your other videos.
@ is it really only 1800gal? It looks much bigger on camera. Excellent pond man. I’m looking forward to watching future videos. Hope you have fun on that Japan trip
Great first video Andy 👍
Nice pond and another channel to watch, so just subscribed.
Looking forward to your future videos.

Hi Andy, looks like you have an auto top up set up on the nexus could you please give some more detail on how that’s done please, cheers Tony
@@TonyKoi-t4w Hi Tony is just a toilet valve from Screwfix mounted on a plastic bracket this one is good as it has fine adjustment for the level
@ thank you, do you have any pics of how you have set it up please
@@TonyKoi-t4w type into Screwfix - Fluid master side-entry fill valve 1/2" and then make a plastic bracket to mount it
@@TonyKoi-t4w I'll do you a video tonight if I get the time 👍
