I think its safe to say that most appreciate gardens. Like me some love gardens, Koi, bonsai, orchids, and reef keeping! Many have an orchid right? Or pond? Garden? Fish tank? Bonsai?
The immense pleasure these hobbies can bring to the mind and soul is powerful.
I have a personal passion for Koi, growing orchids, reef and love escaping to the garden to chill out overlooking the pond with a morning coffee or cold beer in Summer!
I hope to share our passions and hopefully pass on any knowledge I have.

So I've finally got around to trying Canterbury spar to buffer kh and pH. Simple, just fill sacks of it and add to your filter, will it do anything? Also a look and see how the aqua aeration air bar is performing 🎭

Gutted what a rubbish summer
Aup, Keith interesting video again 🤔 I took a scale out a few weeks ago, terrifying, but the fish is looking good 👍 🐟
@@Garykoi625 hey, that's great,👍 it gets easier
Good honest advice mate . Ive found a touch of green on my black koi oldest one I have and here's you talking about it. All getting pulled on Saturday because of temperatures. That summer was a shit show with a cherry on top
Hey, sorry to hear that, I know it's difficult to hear but consistent 24c water and salt at 0.5 works wonders and quick. Can you do something to have it recover before it gets cold?
@@KoiKicks it's still one of my biggest eaters . I'll get it sorted fingers crossed it's not big but it's trooper. It's been through 3 ponds lol over the past 4 years . Ano heat is a massive factor for healther koi big time . Steady temp
I’m putting in 5-600g a day ,pond at 22c down to 20.5 c at night not heated fully enclosed, my show aka matsuba put on 5cm in 2weeks and moved up a class at national
That's cracking!
Thumbs up 👍
Hey Susan 👋
Hi Keith , I'm in Stoke, North facing shady garden, my pond temp now down to 12c, my max this year was two days at 18, but still managed some growth and still feeding three times a day even at 12c . It's been a horrible year for unheated pond's here much better for those lucky enough to be in the south.
Wow, 12c 😲 have you checked your thermometer 🌡 😆. Can you possibly enclose whilst keeping it decorative? If it wasn't for the indoor ponds I'd be lost. I'd deffo build a garden room around my pond or on the wall of it and fit ashp.
This coming weekend it's meant to be over 20 degrees so hopefully not quite the end of the summer just yet 😊
I hope so, still some sun left for sure, it popped out earlier on our dog walk. Autumn here we come.
Looking good Keith bruva but I gotta disagree with you as I've but 11cm on my saki super mango unheated in 5 months 🧁👍👍👍
@@LeTwistedOne hey m8, yeah they do grow but nothing like if at 24c. I wouldn't expect anything other with a super mango, if that was at 24c you'd be getting 1cm per month min, so 11cm of 5 months isn't great tbh. Could have achieved double what is has min, in comparison. But if you're happy that's all that matters.
Hi Keith, It's still in my pond it's still 24c and I am unheated it's been like that for weeks now mate so it must be warmer it the south east mate. And my fish are feeding like pigs mate. Steve
@@stephenlaming3288 hey Steve, where you located m8? Good if you get 24c, is it stable though? My indoor hasn't fluctuated more than 1c since May. The difference between the indoor and outdoor is unbelievable. Would love to build another pond outdoors but have it built within a garden room etc
@@KoiKicks Hi Keith, I live in South East I am based in Charlton in London mate it's been that hot here we have been having to shower a couple of times a day mate the weather people are staying it going to be 24c tomorrow mate I have got a grow on tank in my conservatory I have had the heater off since April and that is sitting at 25c mate. Steve
we may yet get warmer weather in September...koi looking good inside and out.
Holding on to the hope of an Indian summer 😆 thanks
Hi Keith, A great video mate very informative mate also I was just wondering what you are going with that p7000 fish feeder mate. Steve
Hi Steve, thanks and the feeder is on the main pond!
Lacto Bacteria next ..
Great video bud
Great update Keith! Hope you have a great holiday next week.
Great update Keith… 👍🏼 I’ve got the 60 grade one after 24 hours still didn’t really need to clean it… 😂 Think my pond is too clean / sterile…. 🤔 🤷🏼♂️ 😂🤣 Feeding is increasing now. 👍🏼
Cracking update Keith buddy 🧁👍👍👍
Nice Update Fella
Another very interesting and thought provoking video. I may not always comment on your videos but I watch them all. Keep up the good work 😊👍
Thanks Phil, that's much appreciated 👍 🙏. And likewise I do my best and enjoy watching other channels including yours. Cheers
Interesting video, mate 🤔 I am thinking of getting a eazypod in the future.😊🐟
Hey, I'd rethink that unless its for a skimmer line or pond volume of no more than 3k litres. That said it makes a good brush box 😆
Bub I bought both of those products and my water is crystal and I fitted one of them easypod mesh filters with the 40 mesh and mate you will be surprised how much it collects
Ide say between 3& 5 cm
Ok Keith all looking good in there My pond is doing great had no new pond syndrome & water tests all coming out spot on koi eating me out of pocket 😂
Frightening when the food starts to disappear 😆 🤣
Hows your kh buffer working out with the stone you added 2 week ago
@@anthonyjones1801 Hi, definitely adding less bicarbonate but inconclusive I'd say at this stage.
Kenty, have you got your measurements correct? 20cm (8”) in 20 days so your Tancho is now 44cm????, I’m guessing you mean 20mm?
Haha, good listening skills 😆 yeah that was a mistake, meant to say 2cm so I should average 3-4 cm per month. Thanks 😊
Thanks for testing the 20 mesh out Keith. I will probably add it to the line up as it looks like it's still collecting muck even at that size aperture. I've successfully tested the overflow on mine when fully blocked, but it's pump fed. I don't think that it will work on Gravity, as the water level won't go higher than the level of the pond, but let me know if you do see different. Thanks again, Ian
@@SculptedLayers Hey Ian, yes I agree, the water level doesn't go high enough to set off the Eazypod overflowing, it didn't before with micro k1. Cleaning every 24 hours currently. Love it, cheers, Keith
i'm really impressed with mine. i clean it 3 times a day and only find it rises over the top if i leave it in over night. i thought my water was clear before with my sieve filter taking most fines out but these filters make the clarity look like its been treated with clay in my opinion. really impressed with them
5cm
Great update mate and very informative 👍 Thanks for all the good information
Thank you 😊
11:08 Feeding behaviour is still in its infancy, isn't it? In here, it's everyone's main concern, and they're posting footage in competition with each other!

I believe people having problems with nitrite and stuff have probably used parasite treatments that knocks you beneficial bacteria for six. Also the changes in temperature we've been having might affect people with bakki showers whereas a K1 moving bed will keep a more constant temperature and not fluctuate which is better for the growth of beneficial bacteria 👍👍
Definitely a bad mixture this year of parasites and low temperatures. Plastic media is also super slow at maturing. Best to have some other form of media too like ceramic or Kintama Gold etc. Cheers
@@KoiKicks submerged ceramic media maybe but in a shower it's susceptible to temperature fluctuations luckily we haven't had to treat our fish this year (touch wood) and our K1, micro K1 and Hel-X13 is all golden brown
So wonderful Keith, to come back home from a week’s holiday and all your koi are doing good!!! Thank goodness 🙏🏻😊
Good update, Keith mate.The fish are looking well 👌 There's a good golf course at filey like it there😃🐟
Dog’s arse saga
How did your KH doing
@@seangilbert1016 to early to say but I feel more stable, so less bicarbonate going in.
Lovely home coming 👍🐟
Hi Keith, A other great update on your pond mate also hope you had a great holiday mate. Steve
I did, thanks Steve 😊
Great all was ok while you were on holiday, Sod’s Law usually when we leave the koi something happens! Koi looking great
Haha, that seems normally true, the risk is high as there's normally something going a stray 😄 😅. Biggest fear is pump failure 😢 . Thanks
Hi Keith, A other great update on the pond and fish and the thing you are trying to keep your kh at a good level mate have a good rest mate while you are on holiday and hope you are keeping well mate. Steve
My house is covered in the stuff. If it works I’m scraping it off and banging it in filter bags 😅
Haha 😄 great comment 👍
Yeah keep us updated. I'm near sunny morecambe n have even lower kh. 1/4 of a cup of bicarb on filter cleaning day keeps me around 2 to 3kh.
Great update sorry you lost the koi, every days a school day
Sorry you lost a fish mate 😢 They say every day is a learning day 😮 Well I'm sick of only learning bad things.😢🐟
You can never become complacent in the fish keeping hobby. Them fish like to keep you on your toes!
I state complacent but level of care I give is far greater than the majority so maybe harsh on myself. But I agree, when you least expect something comes something 😆.
Great video Keith. It only takes one goldfish to end with a pond full of Tamasaba😂
Haha, seriously could get into Tamasaba, they're crackers 🤣
Hi Keith, A other great update on the main pond and bog filter the fish are looking great mate specially the gold fish mate. Steve
Thanks for the Sub Keith very much appreciated and good to catch up at the BKKS 👍👍🚀🚀
