@@richardfrost1026 hi Richard, yes feel free to pick my brains. If you have telegram my username is KoiBoyuk. The stones in my system aren’t needed as such but they do help with filtration with how they are implemented. In the upcoming pond rebuild videos I will be going over this system in depth

@@NorthernKoi24 that’s the one I have 🙂

@@KoiBoyUKah nice one matey! Whats your thoughts on it then?

@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 thanks bud, I can’t remember the Japanese name but it’s a type of cancer, it’s had it for a fair few years now. Seems to still be happy though

@@stuartyork9615 thanks! I’ll have a look at your build when I have the chance!

No offence taken at all! in terms of looks, the tunnel is only staying on over winter and me and my girlfriend aren't really fussed about how the garden looks over winter. Also, having the polytunnel allows me to spend more time chilling by the pond as it shelters me from the wind and rain. Yes the fish would survive fine but so would we without central heating in our homes! We would however be more unhappy and run a lot higher risk of illness, and in extreme cases, perhaps even death! Thanks for watching :)

Not a very nice comment the guy is trying to keep his fish safe and well we have covers our water down to 5 degrees you spend time and money growing them why wouldn’t you try and keep them safe

@@susanschonauer8487 that will be interesting to see! Keep me updated!

@@colindyson8788 thats a good idea! I will keep an eye out to see if I can get any sheets for cheap!

Hi Ty, I bought a seperate thermostat with plug sockets in so i can overide the thermostat down to whatever temperature i choose. I am still feeding the 360 but I am feeding them the 'sensitiv' variety which has higher concentration of health promoting oils and lower protein content which are both ideal for over winter :)

@ that makes sense! I have a plug in thermostat made for a space heater I was using before. Maybe I’ll give that a try! Thanks, dude!

Hi mate, It is just an external thermostat so you can set it to whatever temperature you like to turn on and off at. Ill do a talk-through in one of my future videos!

@ thank you mate much appreciated 😁🙏

Thanks, ill take a look! Now that you mention it, im not too sure 😅 Its currently under a polytunnel throughout winter but I will have to check the manual, thanks for mentioning it!

@@atsuminaoki9910 thanks I’m in love with how dark it is!

@@KoiBoyUK Perhaps it is a good match for the hardness of the water there. It is rare to get this level of finish in Japan.

@ a few people have suggested this, even in the uk I have rarely seen a dark Goshiki, so maybe just luck, or maybe it’s my local water company 🤷‍♂️

Hi, there are plenty of heaters that are very similar in terms of spec and price but this is the one i bought - amzn.to/3AD4U1u This is the sperate thermostat that i connect it too so i can set the temperature to lower than 18c and also see the data on my phone - www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CHRHLRYX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Thanks! There are a lot of different rule of thumbs out there, some say to stop feeding once its below 10c, some say 5c but they are only that, rule of thumbs. A lot of people will let the fish tell them if they are hungry with special emphasise of staying well clear of overfeeding. This is personally my favourite approach.

@@stephenlaming3288 Thanks Steve!

Hi bud its 500W and its in the bio section. Yea since uploading there has been some condensation appear on the 2nd layer but it isn't as much as the single layered part (for now...)

@ well that’s good at least. I’m really curious to see how that heater works out for you. Do you have telegram?

@ yes I have just made a username, @KoiBoyUk

@@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish you won’t be disappointed! Have a great time in Japan

@ thank you mate I will share my experience there in Japan 🇯🇵😁

@@tristanbaldauf3770 I’m from the UK 😊

@@deanmiles8421 to help keep the pond a few c warmer over winter. They’ve been fine every winter so far without a cover but if there’s a cheap way to help the fish avoid the really cold temperatures, I’m all for it 😊

@KoiBoyUK fish are fine, they are cold blooded. My pond freezes over without issue and I've had my fish for 30 years, never a sick fish in all that time. It's natural for fish to shut down and the only way they can do that is for the water temp to drop.

@@deanmiles8421 I agree that I’m sure they will be fine, and I will be letting the temp drop low like they would naturally as I feel it’s important. But this will just keep the very bitter colds away. Plus it means I can enjoy the pond a bit more 😊

Thanks, its working well so far. wow thats good to hear that an aquarium heater worked that well!

@@ipswichkoi it should hopefully be available online early December! If you want it sooner email me at koyboyuk@hotmail.com and I can give you details of the supplier

@@nippinkoi8924 I’ve had a chat with a few people who claim that 500w works if you’re just trying to keep the water anywhere from 6 to 9°, but we shall see. But you’re right, I will probably end up having to get something more powerful. 😅

@@Jasonanddawnoutdoors.8595 thanks it needs some maintenance for sure 😅
