    8:30 a.m Air Temp 10c ... Pond Temp 7.4c

    Raining but mild, all the fish up searching for food so treated them to just a few pellets which they wolfed down. Seems an age since I gave them anything to eat so it was a nice change.

    Air temp about 10 in the filter shed and water temp was about 6 in the Eazy Pod.

    Thought I'd try them with some food even though it's well below 14 degrees they took a little while to get realise food had gone in but soon started eating. Not a proper feeding frenzy but it didn't hang around long. Only put in 5 grams of the Orchard fisheries? 4mm premium koi pellets.

    Pond temp yesterday afternoon 11.1C without heater for last week now, covers still go on nightly

    continued flake feed goes down well with occasional wheatgerm added for the bigger fish

    going to be sparing over next few weeks to allow them to use some of their mass as temps remain constant

    heater still in place in case of a new freeze, but fingers crossed.

    Air temp in shed still about 10 degrees and Eazy Pod temp 6.3 degrees a few minutes ago.

    Going to set the heater and controller up this morning to see if it will help?

    Doh! 6.6 not 6.3 degrees in the Eazy Pod

    May not sound like much but I'd rather a bath was .3 degrees warmer than cooler

    I fed mine yesterday for the first time in a while, a small amount of wheatgerm around mid day then just before dark they was asking for more so gave them about 8 koi sticks. I say 'they' but the Asagi had 5 of the 8 koi sticks the rest didn't get much of a look in!Great to see them feeding again though

    8a.m air temp 7.5c ... Pond Temp .. Pond Temp 7.7c

    Another very small feed cos I couldn't say no to the wide open mouths that came to greet me lol. Chucked a few shelled peas in yesterday afternoon also which they gobbled up which I thought may be good for their digestion.

    Bit of a heater controller SNAFU

    All works fine except the range of the controller is 16 degrees to 40 degrees FFS It's currently showing about 9 degrees or 7 degrees depending which temperature readout I go for. Just put the timer to run 30 mins on and off so it doesn't run the heater 24 hours a day

    Temp in my quarantine set up is 18 this morning. I'm keeping the feeding very sparse whilst the filter gets going properly and I've been putting in 7-8 pellets each morning. This morning did the usual 8 pellets and the Kohaku snaffled seven of them before the others got a look in. Think he's going to be a big fish

    Going to try them with some food again around lunchtime and check the temp again.

    Looks like I need to find one of the two Elitech controllers

    Probably AJ, take it as a bonus whilst the filter bio starts to recover maybe? How did the Chag go on, any update?
