    We are doing our very first koi pond in our backyard. We are looking for videos how to plumb it and waterfalls. It’s dug already

    Can't believe how fast you are with the hacksaw 😂 How come you don't use the cleaning fluid before you solvent weld Jamie? I thought it was necessary mate?

    Looking good mate! Just a thought, have you considered sticking an air stone disc on top of the bottom drain lid? I did for the bottom drain on my grow on tank and it definitely helps the waste migrate to the drain if I give it a blast of air. 👍🏻

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is on my main pond but i dont want one on this pond as the bottom drain will only be about a foot away from the window but the floor will be screeded to the drain anyway 😊👍🏻

    Hi Jamie looking good mate, with the bricks could you just place the last one on the side of the 7th so your only losing half a brick that way you will just tie the bricks in when cementing. 😊

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks bud that would mean I'd need a half a brick on the other side and being a complete amateur when it comes to brick work I'd rather not start cutting them if I can help it 🤣

  • @MrSmithy63
    @MrSmithy63 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice update , just thinking , it would mean cutting bricks as you go up but could you go 7 and 3/4 brick or 7 and 1/2 brick instead of losingg a full brick ?

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks bud yeh I did think of that but when it comes to bricks I am a complete amateur so I'd rather no mess around with cutting bricks if I can help it 🤣

    Hi Jamie, the gate valve replacement bit of much interest as I have one that leaks and has been solvent welded to the waste outlet of easy pod. So I buy a full replacement I can remove the faulty (leaving the piece that’s stuck in place) but fix the new valve back in place? Hope that makes sense

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes bud 👍 each piece can be replaced separately so you can just replace the bit you need to 👍

      @keepingitkoi  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh yes it was 22 bags of ballast and 6 cement in the end as already had one in the shed and that was very hard work 🤣
