    It's KoiMasters Advantage day. Using twice a month at the minute at 1.5 x recommended dose.

    Mix it up and pour it in the center of the pod gets a proper blast through mid level return.

    It's filter dependent really. I use it at 1.5 times recommended dosage. Takes about 36 hours to clear in my set up. That was before the addition of eazy pod with micro k1.

    I originally started using it as I had issues with sumi not being solid. This stuff improves sumi and lustre in skin as well as grabbing the fines out of the water.

    Really does what it says on the tin. It is not a clay either so you can't really overdose. Clay can irritate gills if not used properly.

    This is the water in the pond a few hours later. It's hard to see on pictures but the intake side of both filters is pulling in the fines. However you can see in the centre it's Crystal clear.

    I think it creates a barrier within the filters to polish the water. Works well for me.

    Below is the details on it. It works wonders on Sumi as well. Serious unsung hero in my eyes.
    Chris mentions it in his video https://vimeo.com/23544675

    "Koi Masters Advantage


    Putting the quality into your koi water

    Koi Masters Advantage is a blend of natural minerals and water conditioning ingredients that when added to the koi pond will dramatically improve your water quality to promote health and vitality in your koi collection.

    Koi Masters Advantage rematerialises and replaces trace elements in pond water creating perfect conditions for your koi to thrive. Koi Masters Advantage acts like a sponge and flocculates impurities, moving them to the filtration chambers for biological and mechanical disposal.

    The removal of these toxins from the koi pool will improve your koi's health. You will see improvements in water clarity, koi colour, skin lustre and sumi develops and thickens. Koi Masters Advantage also contains a bio stimulant to boost your filtration performance. It is formulated to stabilise pH and boost kH whilst in suspension creating perfect koi water.

    Advantage is not a clay therefore does not cause irritation to koi gill filaments.

    Koi Masters Advantage Dosage:

    We recommend that you use Koi Masters Advantage powder every week at 100 gms per 1000 gallons (3785 litres).

    You can mix Koi Masters Advantage with pond water and then distribute it throughout the pond or add through your pumped system return lines.

    When added at the recommended rate water clarity should return to normal after twenty four to thirty six hours. The product can also be added with koi food to aid cleansing of the koi’s digestive tracts.

    Mix with your regular food to form a paste and feed as a monthly medicinal dose.

    The dosage above is a recommended dosage rate, but as a natural product blend we believe, that within reason the product cannot be overdosed."

    Its hard to show you the improvement in photographs but this is the water this morning. The shiro and kohaku are 5 feet down on pond bed. You can even see the pond floor. Pics don't really do it justice.

    I like them koi pictures on the back wall Dave. Did you do them your self.
    Also that koi masters powder looks good as well. Do you think the powder will have the same effect with a drum. By staying in the pond water long enough.
    If so I may invest in some of that.
    My waters pretty clear. It would nt be for that reason . Fish health and colouring is what i am thinking.
    I looked at Chris koi masters video. I was impressed the way he built his ponds.
    Simple but effective.
    He has some great fish in the pond.

    Also sorted out some pipework I wasn't happy with last night. Clocked a pump 90 degrees and got rid of a horseshoe bend. No air increased flow.

    Loads better,

    Almost time to make a start on garage grow on!
