07-12-2018, 12:46 AMCheers mate. I’m pretty much done on the pond aside from the odd bit here and there. Really just waiting for spring now. Whilst the build was...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

07-12-2018, 12:36 AMCheers Fred. The parameters are still holding so I’m hopefully that the blip I had was just the water and filters sorting themselves out. I guess...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

07-12-2018, 12:24 AMI’d always say fibreglass. Yes it’s expensive but then again it’s a long term investment. My Father’s pond was fibreglass and he had it done...4 replies | 120 view(s)

04-12-2018, 01:33 PMCheers John, I'll leave it alone for now then and just keep a tab on it. Not me re the Koi in S.Wales. Although I have picked up a nice Aka...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

03-12-2018, 12:03 PMI think it’ll always push water up the skimmer if it’s on the return mate; path of least resistance and all that. You’ll need a pump to push the...499 replies | 10629 view(s)

01-12-2018, 05:53 PMBought a couple of years ago to try and save a Koi in a QT. Sadly the fish didn’t make it. Heater has been used for 1 week only and then dry...0 replies | 154 view(s)

29-11-2018, 10:40 PMI waited with my filter start until fish were in but to be fair I didn’t really see any benefit from it. It was only a few weeks after the fish were...499 replies | 10629 view(s)

28-11-2018, 11:23 PMI second Big Carp. My K1 took a good week or so to even start moving and now it turns over nicely. It just sat on the top of the water and didn’t...499 replies | 10629 view(s)

28-11-2018, 11:20 PMI can vouch for this pump. Got one running on my pond and it’s a beast at moving water and not bad on cost to run.1 replies | 226 view(s)

22-11-2018, 09:09 PMCheers Andi, that’s what I meant - must write more clearly! Torbeck valve you say. I’m intrigued, any more info on that set-up?49 replies | 1173 view(s)

21-11-2018, 12:57 AMSo I tested the water before bicarb and oddly the KH had gone up to 2. I’m going to put it down to the top-up I did after the 320 was cleaned out...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

20-11-2018, 10:00 PMThat’s good to hear, thanks. Hadn’t considered that until you said! Every cloud I guess. I’m a bit obsessive with testing and charting the data so I...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

20-11-2018, 09:28 PMBrilliant, thanks. Measuring the bicarb now. Ammonia was at zero and nitrite was under 0.25 last night so hopefully I’ve caught it in time. I’ll...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

20-11-2018, 03:32 PMAbsolutely John, a hell of a drop in such a short space of time. Nitrite was down yesterday too so it all looked wrong. My tap water is KH is...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

20-11-2018, 01:50 PMAs mentioned above, my water was looking all good but by posting what I did I was surely tempting fate... So...I tested the water as usual...232 replies | 7595 view(s)

19-11-2018, 12:49 AMCouldn’t agree more! I don’t mind cleaning out my 320 each week but if it did itself then I wouldn’t complain! Have you got it set up so it tops...49 replies | 1173 view(s)
