    In this episode we prepare the pond to be fibreglassed by insulating it with Kingspan. All the blocks are now built up to height and the returns have all been installed. We have also installed the 4 inch gravity fed skimmer.
    Welcome to the channel, where we share the step-by-step process of creating a breathtaking koi pond using breeze blocks, fiberglass, and a concrete filter house. In this video, we'll guide you through some of the construction process, providing valuable insights and tips along the way.
    First, we'll explain the importance of proper planning and design considerations for your koi pond. We'll discuss the ideal location, size, and shape, ensuring optimal conditions for your beloved koi fish.
    Next, we'll dive into the construction phase. We'll demonstrate how to lay a solid foundation using breeze blocks, ensuring stability and durability for your pond. Our expert techniques will help you achieve a professional finish, even if you're new to DIY projects.
    Once the structure is in place, we'll show you how to apply a layer of fiberglass to create a watertight seal. This crucial step ensures that your koi pond retains water effectively, preventing any leaks or seepage.
    Additionally, we'll guide you through the process of building a concrete filter house. This essential component helps maintain water quality by housing the filtration system, ensuring a healthy environment for your koi fish to thrive.
    Join us on this exciting journey as we transform a simple space into a stunning koi pond masterpiece. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner, this video is packed with valuable information to help you create a beautiful and functional koi pond that will be the envy of your neighborhood.

    I have a Cetus, it's on the bottom drain before a nexus, it removes so much muck before the water reaches the nexus, best advice is to get it plumb level to an mm as the water can run down the side to waste too much
