Poor little fella, maybe try a salt baths out of the main pond, if your not replacing the liner soon I'd be tempted to patch it asap, I wouldn't be able to sleep. I've been lucky with the blanket weed so far, got the usual algae but not the string stuff. Bizley heard your pooch bark and ran to the tv 🤭🦴
Hi, your pond vacuum, where does all the water go that gets sucked out? Filter or on the ground? I JUST made my pond, im trying to cycle it and i dont have a clue how the pond vacuums work. Ty
Hello mate it just runs to waste soaks into the garden but you can put a mesh bag on the outlet to catch the big bits and let the water go back to the pond
@@progressivepondkeeping hi 👋 🥰 ty for such a quick reply!! Do you have a link for the one you're using? I dont need one yet but im doing as much research as possible in every aspect!
Loved the underwater filming Budd. Looked fantastic!! Vacuum still working a treat too. Always nice to see!! Fingers crossed on the poorly fish hope he pulls through for you 👍🦆🐟
Poor fish hope it makes it. Great advice with the cloverleaf for blanket weed, we just put a different treatment in so if it doesn't work we will definitely use that. 👍
Great update mate. Hope the lil koi makes it but it doesnt look likely. Im having trouble with blanketweed atm too awful stuff it is. Enjoy the lovely weather mukka 🐟👍
@@progressivepondkeeping sorry to hear that mate. Its never nice to lose them. I've just lost 8 fish and a few more looking bad. Take care and happy ponding. JMAC
Yay a longer video, that's me happy 😊 love the Cleopatra bath expression, made me giggle. Hope the little fish will be ok but it looks too far gone and the other fish might start picking on him. Love your plans for pond revamp!
Thanks mate I made it a bit longer just for you 😉 in all honesty it's not looking good for him but I still have hope. It's looking like I'm going to have to get a move on with the bottom drain and new liner as that split in my existing liner is really worrying me 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping I needed a little advice I'm working on K1 media barrel filter like the one you have at the start on filtration system I thought I'd set up it all fine when I connect it to pump the water fills to top of barrel over flowing What did you do the internal piping in your first K1 media barrel I have definitely done something I would sent you a photo but not sure how to do on TH-cam
You can always message budget pond keeping on Facebook. I have it coming in the bottom through a tank connector then out through a 2 inch pipe with holes drilled into it so water goes through but k1 doesn't. What size pump are you using also what size barrel and pipe
Great video Leon 👍 Sorry to hear about the fish with fin rot, it looks bad. I gave up using Cloverleaf for the blanket weed and switched to "Clear Waters Nishikoi Blanketweed Treatment". After the initial treatment, you can add a little every week and it keeps it a bay. When are you planning on doing your bottom drain etc., next year? Stay safe 👍
Cheers mate yes he doesn't look well at all. I haven't tried that treatment on might take a look . Hopefully doing it before winter just got to save my Penny's
Hi, I think it's probably the other fish nibbling his tail. I would separate him because they're probably still doing it. At that age they're fighting to survive. Also a pond I used to look after had the same liner they're not strong enough to be vacuumed. I hope I've helped. It's nice to see a pond that's not had thousands chucked at it and still got nice clear water.
Thanks mate I moved that fish to an aquarium for a rest but unfortunately it passed away. Yes mate I'm not a fan of these liners I'm hoping to get a rubber liner at some point soon. Yes mate you've helped me I'm learning every day and a lot comes from subscribers comments 👍
Hope the fish is ok mate, my Showa has the same, only one in the pond with issues, water is spot on, I'm treating every few days with salt baths but might be a PP dip next as I'm sure it's bacterial 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping definitely agree, I put mine in quarantine and tried actiflavin but didn't improve, it's heartbreaking when you try everything but struggle to help them, fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞
What size block did you use for your pond walls and what dimensions of the pond for the pressure of water pushing out on the walls. I was thinking 100mm thick block at 3 tier holding 3m by 2m
Hope koi improves looks like other koi bullying him I have 50 litres alfgrog in my last Bay av never taken it out just drain filter to clean every wk in summer good luck with sick koi👍
Hi pal.. Pond is looking good and I didnt think the blanket weed was bad.. I have never used a chemical to treat it.. Not sure you can even get it here. Sorry about the fin rot.. I like treating with pp but most don't like it or are afraid of it.. I think you have it under control.. I did my spring clean vid.. But looks like I need to more.. I see you use a retro bottom drain.. Do you like it.. Still wrestling with the idea of adding a bottom drain when I replace liner in a year or two
Hello mate I like to do it before it takes hold I've had it really bad a few times and it's a nightmare on pumps etc. I do like the retro drain it's helped me out big time but I would definitely go true bottom drain if I had the choice I must of missed your upload I'll take a look👌👍
@@progressivepondkeeping Thanks and no worries.. I am going to have to check out more on the retro.. I dont wanna tear up my walkway to install one.. Digging it would be a nightmare
I'd say the retro would be the way to go then if it's a massive job, the retro drain with work very well especially if you have a slight slope towards it
@@progressivepondkeeping ok.. .. Hmmm my deepest is at the end where I just added a new waterfalls and connected another pond.. It will be in my next vid
You could try aqua source resolve it doesn't mess your pond up like the blanket answer but you would need a few treatment's I've also heard go things about Colombo algisin 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping lol , I would give him a little salt bath couple of times a week , think it’s 3oz per gallon of pond water , for 10mins , with air stone in it , you can only try mate , it may be too far gone but worth a try , keep an eye on if it’s feeding ok . With the clover leaf you can’t overdose on it what I read , to get rid of all that blanket weed I would give the whole pond a heavy dose use the lot on it and leave for a week , depending on how much crap comes away and blocks your filter .
Cheers mate I'll try that with the salt. Yes I think I could of added a bit more tbh. I've got around 800grams left if needed I may get it in this week
Sun mate like you say i was forgetting what it looked like i have a black fish you never see much of but when you have a weed treatment in you can see the bugger will have to fish that one out for a photo shoot some time as it don't feed from the top much as well.
I know mate had to rub my eyes when I saw the blue sky lol. I would be interested to see that fish mate I'd love to know why it's colour brightens up with blanket treatment 🤔
Hope that fish pulls though. Don't look good. Never seen that before either. The rest of them all look well. Never really had any blanket week in mine before, not sure why that is 🤷♂️
Yes mate doesn't look good tbh. Maybe it's your water quality keeping it Free of blanket weed I have relatively high nitrates 10-20ppm most of the time also my tap water normally has nitrates straight from the tap
As u know i have two showers top box filled with sponge the lower two pumice havent cleaned them in three years, fin trouble only happened to the smaller fish i put it down to be bitten of
I know right 🤣Like I say it's only through to the middle layer of the liner (it's a woven liner) as for how long it lasts now is another matter hopefully it doesn't burst through to soon 🤞🤞
Hi mate He might just be a week fish what temp are you sitting at as it might be the others nipping at his tail don't forget that carp are omnivores so will eat practically anything if they can get it in their mouths
I'm at 23 today but normally like to keep it at 21 to 22.yes I thought the same I've seen it with aquarium fish before hopefully it's not getting bullied
@@progressivepondkeeping fingers crossed mate I hate having to euthanase fish but sadly things like this happen about 8 years ago I had to euthanase 1 pond and 2 grow on tanks due to KHV about 3-4k work of fish it was devastating
That's what I thought too. Fin rot would take a while to get down that far and it would have been noticed before getting to that stage. Hope he makes it.
Did I hear bottom drain 😍and new liner, you gonna go for boxwield or normal liner? fingers cross for the lil fishy hopefully it makes it, bro the way you say idiot crack me up lol, take it easy 👍🏻
Yes mate hopefully getting it done this year at some point if I can get it all flush without it caveing in I'll go for the box weld. Fingers crossed he pulls through 🤞🤞
@@progressivepondkeeping I got normal liner too which was I mistake but didn’t know bout box wield liner at the time , I think fibre glass is the one tbh but box wield would be second best option, don’t know if I would give fibre glass ago myself as it’s a big area to cover mine and I ain’t paying ridiculous money to get it done so I would op for box wield, are you gonna have 2 bottom drains? Btw how many gallons are you ?👍🏻
Yeah fiber glass would be best bet but yeah box liner would be my first choice yeah ideally 2 bottom drains to a sieve then pumped to my existing filters Ive got around 3000 gallons about 15,000 liters or there about
