Snap this up Dan... :wink: http://forum.koimag.co.uk/tm.asp?m=391727 :D

Looks good Dan - look forward to seeing it on Saturday !! I was having very similar problems with our pond - the filter just wasnt up to the job. Being a lazy git, I bought an Eazy Pod off ebay, which is basically a water butt with K1 media and it cleared things up in a week. Water is crystal...

Beautiful stuff Tom ! Just makes me want to do something more interesting with my pond ! Tony

Hi Tourney Those are the forums Ed pointed me to, and they're very good :D I also use the koi-mag forum too (theres alot of 2nd hand stuff goes up for sale on there) http://forum.koimag.co.uk/

Hi Tourney Sounds like a great project :D The cable should be heavy duty 3 core cable, and it should be armoured if it is crossing any garden at all. Any electrical supplies place will sell it, and should advise you correctly (B&Q sell it too). There should also be a RCD between the...

Hi Ed I've been cleaning the pod through every other day since installing it. As you say, it pulled out so much crap in the first week it needed emptying out regularly - I think the flower beds are appreciating its work too :wink: :D Tony

Well spotted Mark :lol: Must put (retro) bottom brain into gear, before engaging keyboard :D

Cheers Steve ! The acers were all half price last week, so snapped a few up :D Once the Easypod has been running for a few weeks, I'l strip out the old pumps and filters which will clean things up alot :D Cheers Tony

Well after a couple of very successful ebay bids, and a couple of trips down to Gary at Gatwick Koi ( a very helpful chap :D ) the pond is looking an awful lot better ! I nabbed an easypod (with air pump) and a 55w TMC UV off ebay, and bought a retro bottom brain from Gatwick Koi too. Its all...

Think I'll just let the hounds out ! Hi Ed - plans are coming together. I bought an Aquamax Eco 12000 off ebay, just after a filter now. The CL3 for £55 was cheap, but just too big - wouldnt even fit down the path at the side of the house :shock: I've read through the DIY filters you...

THE most ironic thing just happened !!!!! In 2 yrs of living here, I've never seen a heron in the garden, but as we're fairly close to a river I thought a deterrant would be wise, so I'd ordered an electric pet fence to go around the pond - will keep the dogs out too :lol: There is a pergola...

So I've snapped up a new pump of ebay - an Oase Aquamax Eco 12000, with a satellite strainer too, which was a bit of a bargain :D Now I'm after the filter, and i have been offered a Cloverleaf CL3, which is massive :shock: Probably far too big for what I need, but its ridiculously cheap at...

Thanks again for the advice and link Ed. Plenty for me to think about before tackling it, hopefully next month :D Thats kin of how I feel Steve - I want to make it mine ! For the time being that might just be sorting out some good filtration, and maybe moving the waterfall across to the...

Thanks Dan - I'll have a look for them too. :D Tony

Hi Ed Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yep, 2 laguna pumps in the pond, 1 "Powerjet3500" and one "Freeflo3500", both rated at 3700lph - but theya rent working anywhere near that, as they and the filters block so quickly (as you said - not up to the job) The Bakki Showers seem to be...

Hi all I was asking Ed for some pond advice, and he suggested I start a journal so here it is... I'm looking for advice on renovating our pond - I really havent much of a clue on ponds so any help would be much appreciated :D This pond was here when we bought the house a couple of years...

Cheers Ed ! I sense a new project is about to begin :lol: Tony

Well, I think I've got a general one with Koi in it ! The pond was here when we bought the house, and was originally built for Koi in the 80's, but had been left unloved, and had a massive wysteria over the top of it which allowed it no sunlight and dropped lots of rubbish in to it. I cleaned...

Hi Ed Just found this thread, and read it through - thats a great pond set up you've got. :D Can you recommend any good pond / koi forums ? Our pond needs a bit of work, and I'm looking for inspiration on redesigning it etc. Cheers Tony
