Great vid, it’s such a simple thing to get right but I did exactly the same as everyone else, I believed the advertising blurb n bought a pod for a 1500 gallon pond and put 12 fish in the pond, then spent months n months battling to get the water right as the fish obviously weren’t happy without realising I was attempting the impossible, now doing a total revamp of the pond and the filter system, 1800 multi bay for starters bu they’ll be much more to it by the time I’m done and the pond will only see six fish to start with.
I think the law should change and filter manufactures have to state what koi there filter can cope with! Then watch there sales dive!!!! If you have an easy pod increase the filtration by adding a wham bam box shower after it. I have done two or three videos on them,cheap effective and NO koi TAX!
@@koibreeding well I went down that road with a diy shower with 35kilo of Kano in it and a 50ltr moving bed, I can honestly say neither did anything for my pond, probably wasn’t running enough water through the shower for it to be effective and the bed would’ve been more beneficial as a static filter in my opinion, big multibay and a 300 gallon veg filter is going in and see how it goes
Learn from mistakes it was process with me 😁

@@paulburt9183 Sounds good.
What about a drum filter and clay media which has more surface area ?
I don't understand the reference? To clay and drum and surface area. Surely it would depend on how much clay used and how fine it is?
