Guest gloker Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 That is gonna take a great big ******* of a filter to keep that beggar clean! There is a you tube clip of a homemade filter made from wheelie bins that is inspired! Well worth a look. I would love a koi pond like this.

wyatt Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 about 2 days to fill and no to the water supplier cheers for the kind remarks ever one Father in law keeps Koi but not on that scale. I'll show him the pics, he'll start drooling! Fair bit of work involved there, I'd be proud of myself. Looks good! How will you keep the Heron/Cat/Predators off?

Dougy Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) NIce looking pond i like the idea with the window. My mums got a fairly large Koi pond and not long changed the filter to a Nexus, apparantly allot les hasle to keep clean as far as the filters are concerned, and it seems to be clearer than before Are you heating it PS before you fill it try and borrow a water meter you will then have a better idea of the gross capacity inc filters, better for times you need to treat the fish Edited November 8, 2010 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
