    PP is pretty easy to get and cheep - you may use it if you add new plastic media to speed up maturation as well.
    6000g in ground koi pond
    +3000g lily/Anoxic pond attached
    29 koi (40 to 65cm)
    Bottom drain, Mid water & Skimmer to Drum
    JBR boichamber->Blue eco 500 pump ->below surface return.
    Blue Eco 240 -> Large MB -> Waterfall -> Planted Anoxic pond (25 baskets)

    Can't remember the correct dosage off hand but it's pretty potent stuff you won't need that much - I just put a tea spoon ful in a big bucket of water for treating new K1.

    No probs Carlo,may be best to cut them back as they wont do much till next year,its a good idea to just plant in pea gravel as i dont like soil in the pond,and put a few heavyish rocks round them as koi will shred them to bits.

    mine are in gravel as well. but in big gravel they have done brilliant that way this year. i agree with john. no soil. they get all the neut-rants out the water of the pond. in my case upper pond

    will try the pea gravel the old ones I have are in mud but alaways find filler a bit gritty I suppose that’s the koi digging in them so will change them too .will trim them all back got four to repot.
