    So simple, sometimes two heads are better than one.

    Exactly mate. The only reason I got into this ponding was because of COVID 19.......I absolutely love it

    Your pond looks really nice and informal,would keep doing loads of water changes so you dont get a spike.

    Bet it's hot there today.

    Someone else mentioned about the colour of the media changing in the bio filters, looking at mine yesterday you can definitely see a color change (yellowy brown) with like a film on the inside. Hopefully this is the start of the bio filter maturing

    Were in the rainy season so hot and humid

    3 weeks in and everything looking good.
    This morning my water check was this
    Ammonia zero
    Nitrites 0.3
    Nitrates 12.5
    PH 8.3
    TDS 145
    Most of all the fish are looking very happy. I now have a total of 30 Koi with 3 more arriving from Bangkok on Sunday morning (they send them on a bus here )

    I'm hand feeding about 6 times a day but this morning I will be picking up an auto feeder and plan for that to take care of the feeding while I am out playing golf, I will top up the other feeds when I get home and before I leave for golf. I have added jets that have a Ventura effect and they love them, lots of current and oxygen for them to play in.I have also added a 3 story shower that has been working well. I was going to get a RDF but decided to give that a miss and modify my skimmer instead with 50 micron mesh in it (mesh on the way from amazon).

    All in all fish happy, crystal clear water and a great place to hang out in the evening with a nice cold beer.

    I'm going to start making a protein skimmer. I've been following a guy in the UK who made one. I will use a 12 inch pipe 1.5 metres long and a small submersable pump taking filtered water and filter that through the protein skimmer.

    Pictures to follow
