Having been keeping fish for getting on for 40 years your beneficial bacteria can go a while without constant flow, it’s actually worse if the media is submerged rather than being out of the water, so you may have lost some over 24 hours it wouldn’t cause a crash in the cycle. That said, no harm in adding to the pond, I’ve been using Bacto plus in my pond recently, still early days as to whether it’s made a dramatic difference but it certainly won’t hurt. I don’t think Lees £5 will go far when you get to Japan but it’s a nice gesture regardless 😁
He is just being a genuine friend you helped him get some work in so as a thoughtfull guy he decided to make your dreams come true and help you get over to japan I respect that top bloke!
@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 it shows how thoughtfull he is as a friend he took the time to really understand what would make you happy and did his best to make that happen for you and the faces you shall be pulling in japan when you see those beasts in person will be will make it even the more better
Can’t think of anyone that deserves to go to Japan other than you. It’s all well deserved!Matt is an absolute legend! So so happy he managed to fibreglass my pond last week despite the horrific weather that was put against us!
was nice to meet you and the missus at swk last sunday buddy old bloke showed you doitsu shiro lol happy times for you mate . and great thing for somebody to do for you who could send me to japan lol
Woke up Sunday morning pond pump packed up, no water pumping to my filters, waders on , had spare pump in the shed changed over , thank god for having spares in stock
Hi James looked for you at koi show but I couldn't make it till Sunday I am going to Japan next may hope you have a fantastic trip you will be blown away kiddo and you deserve it so keep smiling and be safe
Hi James Just a quick one I've built a pond this year its just about finished I've got some fish in a big container I got gifted, I'm just wondering is it too late to start the pond now or do you think it will be OK? Many thanks Ricky.
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 getting it started its built and ready to go just wasnt sure if it was too late in the year with it starting to get colder ive got half a dozen goldfish in a big container i got gifted and i dont want to leave them in there over winter, will the filter still build up the bacteria with the fish slowing down if you know what i mean.
I want some southwest koi! They ship over the big pond!! Haha boy do I wish! Because those are some banger fish! Love your vids brother! Next spring I building a bigger pond… the insert they in now they will put grow when I bring them in for the winter! Looks like I might have too go too the old vids with your dream pond build ..wife said no way..well I said it’s James’s fault haha …thank your motha for the koi ponds!
Hi mate i bought some of that lacto bacteria on you saying how good it is and have a brilliant time in Japan what i have seen on lee Hadfield channel you will really enjoy it
Hi James great video. Don't you think it would be better to put both pumps through the burtons control panel cause when it goes into fail safe it shuts the two pumps down after so many cycles, I think what has happened to your heater pump it keeps pulling the water through it's blocked your screen and run your bio side dry.
NOW THEN BOI, has next doors Cat been dancing on your drum lid again 🤔🤣🕺well made up for you mate trip of a lifetime going to Japan, soon be here mate 👍👏🙏🔨🐰🐇🔨
Happy days night need a few more notes then don’t think I will get much with that lol 😂 but it’s the hammer 🔨 and was more of a great gift for me to put towards a koi so I was made up
You'd be surprised how cheap the fish can be over there but yes you will need some more notes but I'm sure you will be bringing back some fish for the main pond 😊
Nice to meet you James, you will have a great time in Japan looking forward to seeing your videos from Japan, I put a post on your buddy's site Matt, for his hands and arthritis, organic castor oil heat around half a teaspoon and massage it into hands and joints before bed, if he ant seen it can you pass on the info cheers,
You will love Japan mate but maybe not Tokyo but then again you may because it's a mad place full with so many people,and my word of advice to you get your yen in the UK before you go because you get a better exchange rate than in Japan,but i got confused with the money in Japan because 500 yen is only about £2:60 👍
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123it's on the cards for next year hopefully! Had one of the £80 hi utsuri and a few of the little guys from Dave a couple of weeks ago, such a nice a nice guy and my girls love going too, he always finds a stall for them to see the fish. I wouldn't shop elsewhere now

Mate I’ve a 1000 gallon pond and if I wanted to add this LACTO BACTERIA to it would I have to add the full recommended dosage??

Hi James

Many thanks Ricky.
What do you mean start the pond ? Building it or getting it started to put koi in it ?
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 getting it started its built and ready to go just wasnt sure if it was too late in the year with it starting to get colder ive got half a dozen goldfish in a big container i got gifted and i dont want to leave them in there over winter, will the filter still build up the bacteria with the fish slowing down if you know what i mean.
Ah bless her.I understood what your on about, keeping so many tanks,I’m sure it won’t happen again james.
