Great set up Chip. Loving the vids. Would love to see a video of how you mix your RO water with your purified tap water. What you use etc. Mainly to see if I'm on the right track! 😁 (that's if you haven't done a video already and I've missed it) cheers.
Love the video Chip, thanks for sharing your info, particularly like the explanation for koi flicking now and then, all mine are healthy but flick every so often, not regular. My PH is 7.6 am and 8.0 pm so this eases my mind and I know my water parameters are excellent.
also worth checking if you have Ammonia in your source water...its a sig that theres Chloramine in tap water....use Sodium Thiosulphate to remove from your system...
Hello mate great video once again, very interesting, I’m glad you showed the vent pipes to allow gassing off on your returns from your shower. Absolutely stunning koi, I look forward to seeing your new koi once your able to get them. Your rabbit follows you like a dog lol, great stuff mate all the best Matt
That's a great set up, I'm currently re-building my pond and going for drum and bakki shower. I'm also looking at using either an external heat exchanger, or stainless coil like you have. as i'm a pipefitter it's a relatively low cost install. but I'm a little concerned about the heating pipework to the coil within your drum its self, in case a fitting leaks...
How did you get the 1” up pipes to fit into the 4” pressure pipes … did you use a T and reduce or use a boss fitting, could you please explain..? Thanks
Love your videos, very informative and entertaining when your making fun of Mike😊. Question. When using a API KH test for koi ponds, how many drops until the liquid turns yellow is good for koi’s
Hi is there any problem between males and females in this pond? They said to separate gender to have no problem. Also how do you control nitrates in your pond?
Please can you provide some more information on your bakki shower - it looks like it’s on a stand? Did you have that made? Also, it’s not showing into a pond or container from the looks, so is it just plumbed up to your returns to the pond? If so, how? Pictures of even a vide would be awesome as I’m planning a build very similar 😁👍🏻 Cheers Chris
Rasta Koi can you advise the best way to get hold of Mike Snaden - I’m interested in ordering some Bakki showers and getting some advice on my build I’m planning. Cheers Chris
Hi mate, just wondering if you could give some advice based on your experience with growing out large kohaku, I’m looking to buy a kohaku at the moment and I’ve come down to 2 fish I like the most however the budget can only get one, wanting to get the fish 70 cm+ and the 2 options are a 22cm tosai and 32cm nisai, do you think the 22cm tosai could be larger than 32 cm by nisai and therefore make it a better purchase ?
No. Never. Did in the early days of koi keeping. No long. I use my limited funds on providing the very best water, and very best food. Koi clay provides a little relief (like a purge) on the koi’s kidneys. Best sprinkled on food so they ingest it. But again, if you use quality food and provide best water. Sensible stocking levels. No need for these kinda tings
@@bdkoi1I understand mate, I got some Kasuri clay to try this year however I'm using kasuri pellet this year anyway which already contains it. Just a little trial on my part to see any benefits.

Loving your series of videos.
beautiful 4 step kohaku there and a cute asagi
Beautiful setup and well done by avoiding air bubbles I really hate having air bubbles, can't see fish
How did you get the 1” up pipes to fit into the 4” pressure pipes … did you use a T and reduce or use a boss fitting, could you please explain..? Thanks
Very nice fish sir. 👍🏻👍🏻. Well done.
Hey. Thank you. Please feel free to share everyone! Like and subscribe.
Thank you chip stunning koi. Even the spider man fish lol. Looking forward for the next video.
Thanks buddy. Please share the videos of you can on Facebook where ever.
Beautiful Japanese koi,what brand of food you feed your koi?
Hellooo. Saki Hikari
@@bdkoi1 What type of Saki Hikari it is? Growth or balanced or Color Enhancing.
@@innerpeacefindings671 all covered on previous videos. Mix, rates and types.
@@bdkoi1 Sorry it's my first time watching ur video. I watch later.
Good videos! Would you be able to do an explanation on how to balance the the skimmer and bottom drain lines into the drum?
Amazing 🤩🙉
What an amazing set up!!! Absolutely stunning fish. I know that you mentioned depth in the video but what are the other dimensions of this pond?
sorry for the weird view halfway into the video....rookie error
Lovely pond I wish my koi would be that healthy
Great video but I would black out the polycarbern cover out to give you a better view of the fish
Hi, you say the returns are 8” down from the water level, is that to the top of pipe or bottom..?
12 inches at the bottom.
Love your videos, very informative and entertaining when your making fun of Mike😊. Question. When using a API KH test for koi ponds, how many drops until the liquid turns yellow is good for koi’s
I like 2 at the most.
Rasta Koi why 2?
Hi is there any problem between males and females in this pond? They said to separate gender to have no problem. Also how do you control nitrates in your pond?
How much an hour are you returning through those 3X 4” returns…? Also how tall are those protein skimmer pipes that are on the returns? Thanks
2x an hour.
So that’s roughly 4,000 gals per hour in each return … is that correct..?
Could you give us a bit more info on those protein pipes, where you position , how many and how tall, and which ones give the best results..? Thanks
already did videos on this...you'd need to look back on the channel @@user-xv1lb3xe3n
Could you send me the link please..? Thank you.
How do u get away with not having oxygen bubbles in your pond ?
Sorry all new to this .. many 😊
If you have a bakki shower in your pump room does it make a lot of humidity especially in winter?
Not at all. Have heat radiators to prevent this.
Please can you provide some more information on your bakki shower - it looks like it’s on a stand? Did you have that made?
Also, it’s not showing into a pond or container from the looks, so is it just plumbed up to your returns to the pond? If so, how? Pictures of even a vide would be awesome as I’m planning a build very similar 😁👍🏻 Cheers Chris
Chris Viner look back at previous videos. Please like and share videos 🙂👊🏽

I will be doing a live next week. Best to log on and ask on this if you can. Kindly like and share videos. Thank you.
Hi mate great video where did you get your UV from
Vincent Goodall Chris and Kitsu Koi
Lv that Asagi
Yes. It’s one of my fav koi
One question Chip do you ever use clay in your water? Just curious mate.
No. Never. Did in the early days of koi keeping. No long. I use my limited funds on providing the very best water, and very best food. Koi clay provides a little relief (like a purge) on the koi’s kidneys. Best sprinkled on food so they ingest it. But again, if you use quality food and provide best water. Sensible stocking levels.

how deep is that tank ?
I’ve got a neck ache now 😉
