Hiya mate glad to see your back I’d say it’s not over the top if it’s all working with out any probs it’s perfect and so much easier than the old pond for sure defffo the way forward happy days
Hi Mate and welcome back. Still looks like you finished it yesterday and it still looks stunning. Looking forward to some more classic one liners Shag!
Wow James, I can’t believe it’s been a year since you started that magnificent pond m8. I bet it’s great for you to look back at all those long slog days of jack hammers, spades and wheel barrows from the front of your house. It really is a tribute to you m8. 👍⭐️👌
Yes mate love what you have done ive only watched the full pond build don't no what you had before I'm just starting up my self with koi love what you are doing keep it up 👍👍
Hi James, thanks for the useful tips, really helpful. Can you let me know what koi sock net you have please as it seems to hold the water inside, which I like?Thanks Steve
Love your videos mate , keep em coming! something I have always been worried about is... How would your pond stop it from draining completely?... for example in your case... you have 3 pumps each with a about 30'000 capacity turnaround/hour... you pond is roughly 10k litres... so if one of your pipe fitting failed and a pipe broke or sprung a severe leek your pond would empty itself within roughly 20 minutes as you have bottom drains that would suck your pond dry... have you thought of ANYTHING that could prevent such a catastrophe? like a electrical float cut off switch for all your pumps... It might be worth while putting one in you drum filter submerged much lower at a safe level and would trigger your electrical pump cut off for your pumps in thre event of a leek issue.
Love the videos fella, after watching the the one where u went through how must your setup cost, I was gunna message u wondering how much u had spent on ya carp gear lol. Knowing u must be into it 😅 then u mentioned u loved it at the end.
Cracking video, great system the water is clear gin, the fish are stunning and the pond looks brand new still buddy, well deserved you worked hard building that I remember. 👍
Great update James 👍 it's looking and running like a glove the colour or your water is amazing mine always has a green/brown tint to it yours looks as clear as gin 👍
Awesome to see you back fella - great setup and really good vid especially for people new to the hobby, all the hard work means your just in maintenance mode enjoying the fishticles - I think you just need a cheeky tancho kujaku to finish things off
Great insight - thanks for that. We bought my boy a goldfish when he was born - it just died - he's now 9 now so I think it did pretty well. Got him a few more basic goldfish - I chose one of them because it looks like a Tancho Koi. I live in Gloucester - the NT labs test kit takes 22 drops to change the KH to the right colour!! Keep up the jibberty-jabber 😎😎
Hi James, great to see you back making videos. I’m new to koi keeping after inheriting some in a house purchase a year ago. I just wanted to say thank you for the content, it’s kept me sane in the middle of the night trying to settle my newborn daughter. Hoping you’re doing another grow on comp next year because I’m definitely up for it! Thank your mother for the rabbits!
Well try to get that but pumps and head hight on pumps ect allways slows down but yea was going to put to 30k pumps on each shower but never did in the end
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 how much now through drum, do you reckon? And have you got a separate flow not going to shower. I only ask James because I am looking at same drum for 5000 gals pond - going to to put 25 k to shower and rest as flow from drum with no filtration. Look forward to response Mr Whisperer 👍 😀
Thanks for this year! I leurnd a thing or 2 from you’re video’s! Build my own pond also this year by my self. Would like to show you, it’s almost the same kind of pond but budget build. We have simular dimensions, I think you would like it! Greetings from Holland! 🇳🇱
Hello fellow carp angler lol , newish Subscriber , watched a fair few of your vids now and gotta say absolute banger of a pond fair play mate a credit to your graft on it 👌 hopeing to start my 1st pond build soon so trying to gather as much info as poss as I'm a total noobie to the hobbie but learning quick 👍
Just wondering how come it taken you 6mth to build was that because off other commitments as I am building one first-time build and don’t want it to take six months but I have help plus time plus cash ?
i was digging my pond out at the same time you was im still knackered a year later looool, propper fucked me over. 3 6 yard skips over 3 weekends straight, i was ruined loool
The arm chair commentators haven’t even dug a hole in their garden! Yes to spending your own money in what ever fashion you like, and yes to doing things that make you happy.
Because I got no money left but to keep Quality Koi you need quality set up like mine the koi will come but I love my koi so why ask a stupid question like this lol 😂
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 Of course, I sound stupid. How else would you under me? Okay, Mr Google and i guess you know everything😄😄. I wish for you good fortune and a prosperous future. Love your set up 👍👍
You guys spend so much money on those stuff , In Asia we use nature earth pond, concrete pond, simple pond let nature take care of the fish less expenses big sales
You not keen on the name champers then 🙈 how about sparkles 🤦🏻♀️ Keith and matt have a new saying in your honour... thank your mother for the stellars 🤣
Glad Im not the only one who refers to my pond window as the TV....its certainly more entertaining !!
You have done well James with this new pond. Everything pristine as always.
Thank you have a great weekend at the koi show 🎉
Hiya mate glad to see your back I’d say it’s not over the top if it’s all working with out any probs it’s perfect and so much easier than the old pond for sure defffo the way forward happy days

Welcome back, pond looking good, it was worth all the hard work.
How has it been a year already 😢 Ponds still looking fantastic. Your cleanliness is unreal buddy. Good to see you back on the Screen 👍🏼

Graet to see you back good update on your dream koi pond

If the pond water drops lower then the drum it will cut of the pumps and will never drop lower then that mate
Happy days mate, all looks amazing an so glad your back..👍
High James great to see you back I did unsubscribe thought you had left resubscribed now pond looks fantastic /Eddie
Stunning mate!
Gonna flip it to the telly what I've seen so far thank your mother for the rabbits spot on

Great look at what you do to keep them happy top video

Great update James 👍 it's looking and running like a glove the colour or your water is amazing mine always has a green/brown tint to it yours looks as clear as gin 👍
Roof over the pond helps so much
Looks more like a jet engine than a filter. Much more complex than mine. Great looking fish!
Love your pond.. thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
great video great to see you back
Hi from Spain. Amazing koi pond mate. I would like to know what kind of glass you used in it. Thanks
Awesome to see you back fella - great setup and really good vid especially for people new to the hobby, all the hard work means your just in maintenance mode enjoying the fishticles - I think you just need a cheeky tancho kujaku to finish things off
Would love one tbh just got to find one
Brilliant video and great advice. Don’t listen to the haters. 😊❤
Great first year and update.
What are your plans for the winter this year? Dropping the temperature? Covering the pond up?
Yea drop down to 10 if I can hold that I will be happy to much money to heat any more then that for me
Great insight - thanks for that. We bought my boy a goldfish when he was born - it just died - he's now 9 now so I think it did pretty well.

Good to see you back. Did you say you are pulling 30,000 lites through drum at the moment with the option of 60k later on? Thanks
Well try to get that but pumps and head hight on pumps ect allways slows down but yea was going to put to 30k pumps on each shower but never did in the end

Hello fellow carp angler lol , newish Subscriber , watched a fair few of your vids now and gotta say absolute banger of a pond fair play mate a credit to your graft on it 👌 hopeing to start my 1st pond build soon so trying to gather as much info as poss as I'm a total noobie to the hobbie but learning quick 👍
I’ve seen other builders put aeration in the corners of the drums to keep the crap from settling. Just an idea.
No way!!! Doesn’t seem that long ago. Hope it has brought you immense pleasure James. It was a treat watching you building it. 🙏
top pond and top bloke thanks for the video
Can't believe it's been a year. Really good to see you doing an update james it's looking the absolute hammer mate. 🔨 🎣
Why did you use activated carbon? Doesn’t it kills good bacteria too ?
Just wondering how come it taken you 6mth to build was that because off other commitments as I am building one first-time build and don’t want it to take six months but I have help plus time plus cash ?
Where can I get a good filter to remove chlorine from my water and what’s the proper name so I can go search it on Amazon
?????
Big bule d chlorinator
Woooww 😮Nice! ☕️
Thank you! Cheers!
🍻
Well done you done a fantastic job keep it up I love watching your videos
How much power does your system use?
Loads lol 😂
Nice job mate
What do you keep your KH reading at james
1 and 1/2 mate 24/7

Happy days
Telling you if you put a small air stone in that corner you will never have to do any cleaning of the drum
Might try it out
Great update, can’t believe it’s been a year already. Water looks on point and the fish look great. 😎👍🏻
Thanks mate
The chag should be called sparkles
Like that
goldfinger for the fish with no name
i was digging my pond out at the same time you was
im still knackered a year later looool, propper fucked me over. 3 6 yard skips over 3 weekends straight, i was ruined loool

Do algae build up on your wall

Very little
Propper job mate 👍👍
This is military-grade setup, super robust !
Defo should have said “the reason they all have names is obvious…… cause i speak to them. They don’t call me the whisper for no reason 😂
😂😂😂 got to love the banter init
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 💯 belting 🤣👍
Bob is my uncle and Fran is my aunt for real not joking 😂
The amount of $ u put into this koi setup, why keeping low-quality koi?
Because I got no money left but to keep Quality Koi you need quality set up like mine the koi will come but I love my koi so why ask a stupid question like this lol 😂
