- Finally got round to finishing the adjustments to my filter bay with the intro of J Matting to the final bay. Found an EASY WAY of cutting up the matting as well that saved loads of time. 😉👍
I show how I built my own air system blower to go under the jap matting that saves me some money instead of buying the usual air suppliers from the shops.😮😉👍 And it works a treat.

Another great update Andy thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you...😉👍
Amazing video!! Your channel seems really cool!! Just subbed too!!
Hi, Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed the video and welcome to the channel..😉👍
How very dare you look at my balls🤣😂🤣. Thank you for the mention, much appreciated 👍😊. Really interesting video and absolutely agree with what you’ve done in the final bay, Jap matting rules👍😊. Nice fish on display at your dealers, I always head for the big fish first , then I see the prices and work my way back down the smaller fish😊. Look forward to seeing what difference you think the changes have made🤞👍. Stay safe👍🈲🐟😊.
Thanks for that. I wasn't 100% sure how you'd take that comment so I left it in to find out as I've met you and thought you'd be ok with it..😉👍 interesting to see how the change gets on in the future 🤔. I'm the same when visiting the shops..😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle Absolutely no problem Andy, as you said we’ve met plus after watching all your vids for so long, think we share the same sense of humour👍. Good to have a bit of banter, life’s too short , just wish a few others would lighten up a bit and maybe there wouldn’t be this unnecessary negativity on some of the sites🤔. Anyway, keep the videos coming 👍🈲🐟😊
Over to Johns Koi Pond today he gave me 2 koi a couple of years ago.
I was so surprised how big his fish are I said what are you feeding them mine are nowhere near that size.
Cheap Wheat Cereal which he pours Tuna brine over from a can then drops them in the pond to float the fish nibble them apart you could say they are a cheap copy of Weetabix.
Hi mate good video i may have to borrow the air ring design for my shower moving bed on the fry tank. Before you patent it🤪Jobs a goodun👍
Hiya, Yeah go for it. Cant knock it till you've tried it...😉👍
Nice one Andy think that should give good benefit on a multibay.. Good on showing it doesn't have to be expensive too 👌 we need to get this out there more budgets and penny saving.
👌👍👍🉐🎌🉐🎌
Yes it is an easy way of doing it. I used a kitchen knife heated up, melts straight through it and no bits.
However you might have to explain as to why the kitchen knife looks different 🤣. Maybe it was something to do with the dishwasher 🤔 it's a mystery.....
😁😁😉👍
I got same filter so I am going to try that thanks for showing it
Great video again mate , Steve looked busy
Cheers John. Yeah seems more and more people are getting into ponding, even with the difficult financial times..😉👍
Nice video Andy some great ideas that you come up with, Enjoyed watching :)
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😊 👍
Table saw works real good to cut matting as well. Thats what I use.
Well worth the time and money on that job good upgrade .Have a good weekend mate
Thanks for that Martyn. Enjoy your weekend...cheers 😉👍
Another great video Andy. Helps with the frustration. My pond is 2 months old. Ammonia is still high. No2 coming up. Lost 1 fish to cottonwool disease and another today to dropsy. Doing water changes and adding more balls to try and keep up with it. Keep koi they say. It's relaxing, they say. Yeah, right
Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. Did you see the video I did a while back on New Pond Syndrome? I'll put the link here. It might help you with your new pond and new filters? th-cam.com/video/nKSzEfnj-NU/w-d-xo.html 😉👍 Good luck with your new pond. It does get better...
Andy loved the video just a quick question wen u was in Steve’s looking at the outside pond he had a yellow and white koi not sure wat was but just loved the fish so anyway do you know what the price of that fish is or could you find out for me cheers m8
Hiya, Glad you enjoyed the video. Peng Koi has bits own Facebook page. If you message him through that he will be able to advise you on those questions..cheers
That’s a great exchange for your last bay Andy, always a good watch on a Friday👍
Thank for that Paul.. cheers 👍 😉
Great idea switching to Jap matting.
Thank you..🤞🤞
Where do you purchase the japanese koi mats
I get mine from my supplier Peng Koi in Stoke on Trent..😉👍
Brilliant update on the jap mat filter fish are looking amazing 🙏🐟🐟🐟🙏
Hi Carol, thanks for that...😉👍
Great job on the filter upgrade, that jap matting should do a good job. Very entertaining.👍👍💯💯
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it..😉👍
Great upgrade.👍
Thank you 😊 😉👍
Great job Andy I like your air system I made something similar years ago but just using the flexi hose should work a treat👍
Epic idea mate
Thank you. Just gotta see how well it does?🤞😉👍
On your “pond visit” you pointed out that he had “Jap Matting” in most of his filter bays.
Did you notice, pretty much all of it was installed in “cartridge” form with gaps!
That is the most effective form of installation as Jap Matting is not a mechanical media and the gaps promote bacteria development and prevent blockage.
Great Video Andy , Should work a treat mate.
Thanks for that. Hope so. Cheers 👍 😉
Hi Andy love the shop visit section. Something that cought my eye was when you were looking at the large fish in the indoor tank, there was a large pale blue koi with a line of black scales down its back. I have one of these & this is the first time I have seen another. Do you know what type of koi this is? I have searched various website but never been able to identify it
Hiya, glad you enjoyed the video shop visit. I really don't know what type of Koi that was? If you message Peng Koi on his Facebook, he will be able to tell you? 😉👍
Hi Andy, I think those filters originally came with flow core bio media which would block pipes. So that's probably why you've got the outlet protector cages. But you must leave a decent clear gap between the outlet and the jap matt because it will slow the flow and could cause it to overflow if it's pushed right upto the outlet. I put some in front of the outlets on my shower to stop the media blocking them. How wrong was I. I had to whip it out quick.
Thanks for that. Glad I placed the jap matting not near the outlet then.. cheers 👍 😉
@@KoiPondLifestyle 👍👍
What oxygen readings do you get at the inlet and outlet?
Hiya, unfortunately I don't have a oxygen test meter at the moment. 🤔
I am trying to connect my multibay to my bottom drain but no coupling on the inlet can I use a heat gun to remove the small bit of pipe that is in the inlet so I can glue a new one in also can I solvent weld it in? or will I damage it. See attached video. Thanks in advance.
I don't believe heated plastic will work a second time?
I just used a Stanley knife with a new blade to cut jap matting
When I've used Jap mat in the past I used tailors scissors that also does a good cutting job. Obviously the wife went mental because I used her very expensive fabric scissors and made them blunt.
😁😁😉 Love it when you can try yo get away with using kitchen utensils for the pond...😉👍
Well done Andy, I like that, looks like I’ll be getting rid of my sponges.
Was thinking of changing my brushes for a static bed of K1 as I’m pump fed so any solids get mashed up by the pump first. What do you think 🤔
Hiya, thanks for that. Ideally you want to keep your solids in one piece so they stay in one place. If you mash them up they'll be all through your filters. 😉👍
Love the air bubbles that's great good idea
Thank you...
If your trickle-in-trickle-out is going through a declorinator and then into the final bay before being pumped to the pond, then its fine. Also, back in the day another favourite and cheap filter media was plastic hair rollers, probably only used by hobbyists who could run faster than the Mrs.
😁😁😁👍
You've seen Phil balls 😄😄
I have. 😉 You ask him..😁👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle 😁😁
It seems everyone is starting pond channels flooding the market which will last is the question.
My son is down stoke again later in the year looking for an old canal that is or was lost.
He’s not taking the companies Audi Q7 does not like it on motorways said he will use the Volvo V60 I’ve told him to look out for things for me said he is starting in a place I think it’s called Frognhall.
Hiya, Yeah loads trying the TH-cam channels at the mo. I think they think they are going to make a fortune from them.. Nope you don't... 😁😁😞👍. You son is going to Froghall which is what is known as the 'Cut End' of the Caldon Canal. The lost canal is the section that used to go to Uttoxeter known as the Uttoxeter section which has been filled in for years. JCB built its roccester factory over a large section of it. There are still the old Bridges in place, and you can hear the Alton Towers rides from there if the winds in the right direction...😮😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle Could be that then why would someone want to find an old canal he will be in nantwhich froghall alton rocester uttoxeter burton.
Come on safety cut forward not backwards
I'll take that as a schooling...cheers Alan..😁😉👍
Well done Andy your getting good at this was thinking of a similar idea, got me thinking about more jap matting in mine and getting rid of last bay ring media 🤔🤔🤔🥇🥇
Thanks for that. Yeah hoping it does the trick...😉🤞👍
KPL I’ve found with diy diffuser/aerator is if you insert a solid pipe within drilled pipe like acrylic rods and this makes it diffuse more appropriately as certain 🕳s get dead spots or others blow big 🫧s .👍🏻
Hiya, yeah there are a couple of holes that aren't blowing but there's plenty of air going in the anyway..cheers 😉👍
