Wow your ponds and koi are amazing I can imagine the camera does the fish no justice. I bet they are easy 3 times bigger in real life than what they look on the camera.
Definitely mate
Your gardens starting to look like a hydro electric power station❤
I love it! 😂😂
Hi James , why don’t you look at the pull out screens your mate had to keep the sunlight out, come in different sizes and colours for a reasonable price 🔨🐇
Hi James after see this video theirs lots of mistake on my pond😢
Hey James over here in Australia we can get plastic patio blinds for outdoor patios. We have a 14 meter deck on the back of our house that overlooks my wife pond. We have the blinds rolled down over winter as it gets cold over here and up in summer as it gets bloody hot . You could look at something like that so you can roll them up in the hot weather and if they are down you can see though them to look at your koi.
That could be a great idea thanks
Top video James
Great that you took the time to be open about the issues you’ve had
I’m still building mine but Matt from GRP Linings would tell you what mines like
it’s 3.5x2.5mtr and about 1.75 deep I have a spin drifter bottom drain 4” middle drain and a prototype 4” skimmer Matt kindly sorted out for myself.
My returns are 2” three of which come in at one end (top middle and bottom) and a 4th 3/4 along the pond below the window at 45° so it’s helping the vortex effect of the bottom drain. As for filters I have a profi drum combibio 30 set up so at full tilt I can clean pond water every 30mins or so also have a air source heater
As for waste I have purge valve on bottom drain pipe all 4” so as I can keep pipe clear, it’s linked via a y pipe to the waste from the filter which then flows into drainage system at man hole so as can be flushed if needed
I’ve been thinking of having a bakki shower on the back of the pond too but in two minds (I did have the foresight to have a 18” gap between pond and fence so I can get to everything if needed 😉👍🏻
Good vide makes sense,no we don't think befor we build something. 😂
Great video. Wondering what items have you bought or built that have ended up being pointless or not worth the money?
Yes mate there is a few things I have had over the years like that can add it to a video at some point
Hi James if you get time could you do a video off what to do with your bakki shower over the winter period as have a new pond with one on but don’t really know what to do any help would be appreciated
Yea definitely I mean I keep mine running all winter but it does chill the water down but when the winter sets in the water just gets cold anyways

Have you tried oyster shells for kh ph ? I live in Florida and get lots of heavy rain that drops my ph. I just ordered some figured I would give it a try
Yea mate definitely but over time they do need to be replaced as they don’t last that long
