    yes one of the working party... photos can make things look tidier than they Actually are. Next stage is to have a look at getting it landscaped and what to do about the tonnes of clay I dumped in the borders! And what to do re herons, mink, cats and seagulls...

    So a little update, so much still to finish and I’ve gone proper cant be arsed lazy.... but some progress with a decked seating area, fernery, start of the Japenesee style garden, but filter Bay Area still needs loads of work, along with the ASHP as the next project. very relaxing just sitting on the decking and just watching the koi, who other than a white-spot outbreak are loving it.

    I’ve also decided on a mud pond at the bottom left of the garden. I suddenly thought I have 3 things, space-clay-endless water! No need for a liner as I have constant water from somewhere, at least a wheelie bin full a day even in summer, so mud pond it is! in winter the whole bottom of the garden generally floods so it can all be channeled easy. Simple as a hole with the spoil lobbed into the farmers field, it’s going to be done in a day.

    few pics of progress!

    So bit of a milestone, pond was filled on the 5th of August and filter started from scratch. After 10 weeks of battling with NPS and particulary Nitrite for the last month, today for the second day running readings as follows:

    Water temp. 18-20 degrees
    Nitrite. Zero
    Ammonia. Zero
    PH. 8
    KH. 8
    Nitrate. 0.5

    Feeding still minimal but the fish are growing at an alarming rate .

    To mature the K1, takes an age generally but at colder temps I would probably of been waiting till spring. Without heat I think I’d of been doomed with my (slightly) overstocked pond
