  • This was the ultimate lockdown pond.
    The client bought the Koi before he built a pond so it was all systems go! He got in touch with us regarding the filtration etc and we got it delivered and the rest is history!
    A stunning pond in a stunning setting. A great self build too, massive credit to Rob for getting it done.
    The pond is 6500 gallons. it is run a single bottom drain running to a Nexus 320+

    Good to see the little fella feeding the koi. And nearly brave enough to put his toes in. He could be a future koi enthusiast. Keep the hobby going. A repeat of the 80's would be great.😁

      One bottom drain on 6.5k gallons.
      Needs two bottom drains, two drums, two skimmers and two bakki showers. 😆 Or this setup which clearly works very well.
