An excellent pond and really good thinking on how Rob adapted the pond from a bad starting point . The water is gin clear this guy certainly knows what he is doing
Nice pond 👍🏼👍🏼 Pump fed myself with a 320+ and I did mine in the lockdown too Can’t wait to go gravity fed It’s the hardware in the pond which is the main concern being pump fed
That is a level of pond clarity I would like to get too with a pump fed system. I have 2000 gallons running on 2 x easy pods 1 x bead and a tempest. Pump fed is easy to maintain no wet suit to sort bottom drain but it does have its draw backs . Great pond
Iv watched the last two videos and the ponds were fantastic,I used to have a pond at the back of my mobile home about a quarter or a lot smaller with basic filter system kept about twelve koi and one river carp he got quite big would feed out of my hand sadly I had to sell them when I moved.

Hey brother. That's absolutely a perfect pond beautiful setup and the water quality looks superb. For the gentleman who owns the pond good luck with you're pond and many many years of enjoyment. Take care and god bless you both!
looking at that , What height would nexus need to be above water level of the pond for the return. I could never see anything in the destruction manual that gave a definitive answer. I have a raised pond but thought the nexus would have to sit far too high.
I'm pump fed through a retro bottom drain n my nexus sits in the garage on blocks around 3.5 feet high (don't quote me cant remember the exact measurement) 👍🐟
@@richd-koi My pond is 2.5 ft above ground and 2.5 below. People have mentioned I could retro fit a bottom drain but its a mixed bag of its the best thing i did to the worst thing i did LOL. Thankyou for the reply.
@@fish4london75 if u don't have a proper bottom drain retro bottome drains are the next best thing. I never have to hoover my floor. My pond is similar to yours half raised half submerged. If u go for a retro drain make sure u have a float switch fitted to the pump 👍🐟
@@richd-koi Thanks for the reply , been using a homebrew filter box that is very similar to a kockney koi job for 10 years. only cost me £100 in bits at the time (no koi tax yay). but i have 50kg alfa grog, jap mat and 3 filter pads plus floss. Sometimes when you have to clean the pads its time consuming and have to do it regular to keep up.
Mine is 2000 gallon and pump fed with oase 10,000 premium through 55uv and nexus 220+, my water is perfect, only the hardware as stated in a previous comment that I don’t like but wouldn’t change it now, just leaving it alone
I’m not surprised the water is spotless with all that filtration…I think there would something wrong if it wasn’t spotless…love the set up albeit a little OTT in my opinion
The hobby doesn’t only create koi keepers it creates water keepers and they love to understand that as well as the Koi. Sometimes the filters can be just as much a hobby as the Koi
Stunning… That’s some bit of kit… water quality was just amazing..

@@fish4london75 nexus's are easy to clean n in a way weirdly enjoyable. Heard good reports of screenmatics n the pinnacle drum filters 👍🐟

I am hoping to retro fit bottom drains my regret was not bottom draining my pond , that is 1 clean pond
Could you use the Kplus media on other beads, like my econobead 100?
I’m not sure pal
Do you have a vid on the tempests showing it work?
There’s a few on the channel 👍🏻
@@TimWaddington im going to ha e to add one to my pond.
If it works it works. Might benefit from a portable bottom drain aswel. Another interesting vid 👍🐟
