Okay, this is the final part of the new pond build at our facility.
This is a 4000 gallon pond which will be mainly used for quarantining larger Koi at our shop. This now makes our separate QT facility 8000 gallons in 5 ponds. Giving us one of the best QT systems in the UK.
It will be used properly when the new shipment of Tosai arrives next month. Check the website and Facebook for further updates guys.
You can see the stages of the build in these videos below
• NEW KOI POND BUILD!! 4...
• 4000 gallon Quarantine...
• 4000 gallon QT pond Pa...
• Part 4 of the 4000 gal...
• New Koi Pond build Par...
• New pond final part!! ...
The pond is run on a 30" Micro K1 bead filter from Evolution Aqua. We will be trialing it over the next few months to see if it can do as we expect. You can buy this filter from us at qualitynishiki...
We added 10 smaller Koi today and we will see how they get on over the next few weeks.
They look great really enjoyed all the videos the last twelve months keep up the good work Tim Thanks. Chalky. Leicester 😊
Started watching your videos about a month ago and thoroughly enjoy them.Cannot wait for some decent weather so I can start enjoying my fish a bit more.
tonyrob86 thank you Tony!
I really enjoyed watching this build, filtration etc has changed since I’ve built a pond 40 years ago. It makes me feel to start keeping fish again in a custom-made pond.
🙏🏻
Tip top video again Tim keep them coming if you have time. A big thanks again.
i love the koi that looks metallic
Been really interesting and informative watching these videos. Given me lots of food for thought when building my new pond next winter cheers guys 👍
That’s the main aim Chris. A bit of food for though I hope 👍
Really enjoyed the build to the end thank you David
Looks brilliant. Cant wait to see how they turn out 👍🏼
Always a good videos will be over when it warms up a bit
See you soon 👍
Highly enjoyed this video! Thank you for answering all my questions! This pond is very similar to what I want to build! Keep up all the great videos 👍
Anytime! ThNk you
Thank you 🙏🏽
Great stuff Tim.👍
Oh my gosh they're so cute! Can you tell me the variety of one of them? I have never seen one like it before and I'm not sure if it is a a kohaku or a harawaka, but it has a white doitsu body with red and yellow markings along the sides
Love it Tim, Thanks
another great video tim the under water clip was excerlent
Cheers Gary
hi tim will you have fish for sale in march or do I wait a bit longer cheers gary
gary smith yes we will have some but probably better the end of March when all the new Tosai will be in
@@TimWaddington thanks m8
Like the black capping around the pond ..
It’s just facia board
Finally in, great video as always Tim.
Tim mate, great update.
You are getting good at this CZcams thing 👍🏻
Not sure about that. I’ll keep trying 👍
Going by the sub count and influx of business you guys are having i think you are definitely on to a winner mate.
Keeping people interested in koi keeping especially at the beginning is something that needs more attention across the board as education is key, there are a small number of people on CZcams who are capable of capturing people's attention and can deliver the help and expertise required to keep this fantastic hobby alive for all hobbyists at all levels and you my friend are certainly one of them, so thank you for putting the time and effort in.
Great ponds and fish luv it 👍👍 subscribed👍
Thanks Chris 👍
Nice one Tim enjoyed the video 👌
Thank you 👍
Great job
Thank you.
Love the videos mate, keep up the good work and keep safe 👍
Superb
Just subbed today, what lovely fish:-)
Awesome. Enjoyed watching that build. I've learnt a lot. I'm local to you in Middleton Manchester and will definitely visit you soon. I am building my first koi pond and have just bought the same bottom drain. Hows that filter system doing? I think somthing similar for my pond would be ideal?
Killer pond..but that one screams for a window. Would make a great tropical fish pond...exotic tropical plants.
You have cornered the above ground pond market..nobody else on youtube really shows more than just one - their own -of various technicality.
What's your name? I haven't caught it. Thanks.
Asagi 👍👍
Cracking looking place you’ve got there pal, wish I was closer. Is it possible to connect both a bottom drain and a skimmer line into one Nexus 220 as I’m struggling for space and budget with my pond build at about 3500 gallon?
It’s pointless really mate as you wouldn’t get the right pull from the skimmer
Quality Nishikigoi is there a reasonable way of running a through the wall type skimmer without the need for a second pump/filter setup, also pal what skimmer would you recommend for liner connection?
do you have any hair left on your head?everything you went through to get that built i would have been bald by now.. thank you for the video,, be blessed and safe
Great video and great content. Thank you for all the information and eye candy. With all the emphasis on quarantine systems, how do you disinfect your tubs and nets so that you stay clean from the quarantine to a pond, or from pond to pond?
When we have a new shipment every pond has its own net and bowl. The pond has a net and bowl just for that pond too. We do testing when they first arrive too so we can tell very fast.
Hi just wondering what size is the pond I no you say it’s 4000 but just wanted to no measurements and depth good work 👌
Unknown Beast 14 x 11 x 4.2 feet deep mate
Love the build mate. Just a quick one if I can mate? I am on with building a 1500 gallon pond and wondering what lph pump to use coming off a nexus 220? And do you have any recommendations on a pump? Thanks karl 👍
The new 10,000 Varipump from EA would be perfect mate.
Very nice work, do you only do business in UK?
No, we export all over and also supply the USA from New Jersey.
Do you have any black and white koi for sale
If you were to do this pond over again is there anything you would?
No, I wouldn’t change anything.
Yes I'd call it a tank as that's what it is.
Looks great, love the setup. Can I ask, you mention you wouldn’t run this fast in customers pond, if this was a customers pond what would you run the pump flow at? What flow rate would you run on this pond with a nexus 220 please? Mine is very similar to this running a nexus 220 and 18,000 variable pump. Pond is Outside, I am currently running at lowest setting around 6500 for winter and filter is okay for 10k would you run at 10k in summer or leave the slower flow? Pond is 4m x 3m (just over 10,000 litres)
Hi Steve, I really never run the Nexus at the full rate, which is 2200 gallons per hour. I like running mine (I have 8 lol) at around 1600/1700 per hour. I like the retention time. That’s why I add the bead system to get some great flow around the pond!
@@TimWaddington Thanks Mate, appreciate your response.
Doing really well mate. Just wondering if the shows that went in to the new pond is sfs? Let us know and I'll contact the shop👍
The Showa that went in the pond mate? Sorry didn’t know what you meant
@@TimWaddington sorry yeah Showa bloody auto correct
Ashleigh A yes for sale pal.
Good Morning how often do you clean Nexus filters? I know it is an easy process but i would like to know because in the quarantine you have many fish so i suppose it becomes very dirty often. Also in the blue oval tank what is in there? K1? or is it a quartz filter?
New Koi require fresh water and little and often food. When they first arrive we clean the Eazy section every day. When the fish are strong, every 3 days is fine.
@@TimWaddington the blue oval tank what is in there? K1? or is it a quartz filter? If you stop using UV will the water become green?
KOI Hellas it’s Micro K1 media in the filter. Yes of course the water would go green without the UV, on a pond this new anyway.
what pump are you using?
EVOVaripump 20,000 on the bead, 10,000L on skimmer
Very nice 👍 do you build ponds 4 customers in the southwest? Roll on the 3k mate I am all most at 3k subscribers in just a year
We can but we are pretty much booked up, as we can only do so many with having a busy shop too.
Quality Nishikigoi yea that’s far enough mate my parents are after something like the new pond you have just finished , and I haven’t got the time with my full time job as if I was to do it on my own would take me a wile 😂😂 and they want it yesterday lol 😂
beautiful fish! im getting myself some koi in the future when i finish my koi pond and my garden, its on my youtube channel if anyone wants to check it out! I don't want to make it out like im self-advertising or begging for views, but it genuinely would help me out if i could get some advice and some tips for my pond. Great video by the way mate!
If you're gonna make sure your face is in the shot...please don't swing the camera so much. Whooo, I'm dizzy.
