Such a nice little pond. So sad that the owners aren't willing to give you the fish to re-home them with someone who cares. Kudos for taking the time to look after them. Hopefully the bubble wrap will help. Cheers.
Hi mate. Could you put any supports across in the other direction? I don't mean to be critical because it's amazing you are helping the fish out. Just... that I can't afford Polycarbonate. So I am forced to use bubble wrap too. What I find is that rainwater gathers and it sags down into the pond. EDIT - I just heard you say about the pin holes. Doh! The moral of the story here kids, is.... Watch ALL of the video before you rush in with your comments. Also mate, you should go take a look following the hurricane we had over the last 2 days. I think the wind has a goal... Try to get every loose leaf, twig, stone in the entire neighbourhood into my pond. I'm not joking. There are oak leaves in my pond today. The nearest oak tree is about half a mile from here and a big hill is between us and the oak tree. Probably find some acorns in there too. I still can't fathom out how the stones got in the pond. Surely wind couldn't lift a stone, or people would be having broken windows all over the place.
Great stuff, covering them certainly does keep the heat in, covered mine 3 weeks ago and it's still 14c 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Can you do an update on your fry please 😁
Great stuff, I'm glad that you are still looking after this pond. Such a shame for it to get left to rot and I hope that they let you take the fish mate, you deserve them for the hard work that you've put in.
What did you do with the return mate? I think I would be tempted to lift the pump so it's not right on the bottom. I think I would put a swept bend on the return to just under the water surface and then either a T after that or another swept bend at an angle. That way it won't disturb the water on the bottom too much. If I was King of England, I would make cold weather illegal.
Thank you. I love this pond. It's where I met you. Of course not in person. Some fish can stay alive all winter as long as the water doesn't freeze solid. Are these like that? Fish are so calming. 😉👍👍😊😃
Is this house still not sorted ? If this was my relative’s house I would simply say take the fish. You’ve nursed them through sickness, fed them & maintained their filter for AGES. I assume the house is still empty. I applaud you for how much you care when others don’t.
As always top job Adam always top content on your channel mate you have got a very special connection with koi would like to maybe buy from you can't seem to find any links 👍 if you could point me in the direction that would be great top job top channel just the sort of content we need through the winter months best regards 👍
Hi Adam, I’m in Canada and we can easily get 2-3 feet of snow. My question is, what is your recommendation in this situation? I have to turn my pump off as well because I’ve had parts in the filter break in past when it gets between -20 and -30 Celsius. I feel like the bubble wrap would just fall into pond with the weight of the snow, so might not be the best idea. The snow on top of the ice should insulate the water from the wind haha. Thank you for the video as always👍
I think bubble wrap would probably cause more issues than solve them in your case. Hopefully your pond is deep enough for the fish to go down out of the way of the ice and turning the pump off is probably the best ides but in UK turning pumps off is not a good thing to do.
I'd personally put some polycarbonate or solid plastic sheets over your pond if you can. That will keep the wind and the snow out and hopefully keep the pond a few degrees warmer.
I live in Southern Ontario Canada and I know of a few people who put a makeshift greenhouse (some call it a ploy tunnel) made of 3/4" pvc conduit for the frame and greenhouse poly sheeting for the cover. The 'greenhouse' helps maintain the pond temperature and being rounded on top the majority of snow slides off. I would still recommend using a deicer as well however.
It's a cheap one off ebay it's good for an idea of the temp but it can be a little temperamental sometimes and just say random numbers so i wouldn't really recommend it.
I bet the family are taking so long because they're trying to get around paying inheritance tax and or capital gains tax ( explicit language ) if I where you I'd tip your mate's off about some free fish you know of 🤣
It’s nice you are looking after those fish
Wow the house still ain’t sorted!!
Those fish are so lucky to have you looking after them 👍
Top job Adam👍
It is no longer "The Neglected Pond". It's now forevermore known as "The Pond Taken Care Of". Good on you. Well done.

Not all hero’s wear capes - they do carry bubble wrap though 😉 Top guy, top work 👍🏼
Brilliant job sure the fish will be happier through winter
Thank you for still caring about these guys. Always enjoy these videos - real feel good, hope for humanity content 😊
You are a super star thank you for looking after these koi and sharing x
Fair play Adam looking after someone else's pond mate full respect 👊👊
Brilliant work mate
Morning Adam, your top guy looking after that pond with your own koi to upkeep :)
Great to see you back. Thanks for your advice about Spindrifters, class E pipe and Pipestock. The walls are now going up. Well done Adam!
Good stuff 🙂
Nice job Adam and fair play for putting the welfare of the fish first 👍🏼

I thought by now Adam the home would be in new hands and given you them if not needed by the new owners you are a star 😉
Think I'm gonna try this.
Any more updates coming?

Yeah it's still empty I'm pretty sure it'll never be sorted lol
Well done mate, hat off to you 👍
Lovely Job Adam.
Hiya adam, nice job there but if you get some heavy rain fall, i worry that it might sink the bubble wrap into the pond and drown the fish.
It will when it rains ill puncture some holes in the bubble wrap so it drains into the pond after that it'll be fine 🙂
As always top job Adam always top content on your channel mate you have got a very special connection with koi would like to maybe buy from you can't seem to find any links 👍 if you could point me in the direction that would be great top job top channel just the sort of content we need through the winter months best regards 👍
Nice one Adam, good to hear from you also. Hope you had a great weekend. How are the fry doing?
Great video!
The blanketweed is driving me crazy. Can you make a video with suggestions and solutions?
Get some blanket answer to kill it and then salt to keep it away
Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks ✌️

First lol...realy glad you saved that pond and fish
You must keep the laptop or phone in your hand Amanda blackshields 😂😂😂😂👍
Good job 👍
good job , should help a little
Won't rainwater just pool on that sheeting and drag the bricks in? (Ah u just mentioned pin holes)
About time you make a video ;)
Hi Adam I've got an above pond it's one of them hozelock ones, it's my first winter with the fish in, what would recommend I do ? Cheers
Nice
What about a bubbler for aeration and what happens with carbon dioxide?
💜🦄💜🐨💜📹🤑🍹HI FAM🙏YUMMY, GOOD-NESS,DELICIOUS✌🙏🦄💯🔥
Hi Adam great job. What is the name of the temp gun you had please
Thanks Paul
It's a cheap one off ebay it's good for an idea of the temp but it can be a little temperamental sometimes and just say random numbers so i wouldn't really recommend it.
Hi were did you get the bubble wrap that big please
eBay of course 🙂
@@AdamJulyan what size did you use
Hi where did you get the pond liner from and how many litres thanks
I bet the family are taking so long because they're trying to get around paying inheritance tax and or capital gains tax ( explicit language ) if I where you I'd tip your mate's off about some free fish you know of 🤣
Just take them home Adam
M8
Why don’t you just take the fish off them and that
No need really at least in that pond I'm not paying for the electric 🙂
