- Welcome back to Koi Pond Lifestyle.😉👍
This week we look at a close up view of my bottom...drain. As the black stuff breaks away from the sides of my pond I film what it actually looks like as it makes its way along the bottom drain and reaches the Vortex.
How do I clear up the aftermath of the FOK and KMA cocktail I used last week. I look at how much water I can save by not just draining the filter bays and washing then through.
And and quick look at how my SHOWA is getting on after the salt baths over the past 3 weeks.

Cracking idea with the garlic oil idea Andy 👌🏼
Thank you..😉👍
Nice one Andy and nice idea with the garlic its something i was thinking for the autumn food 🤔
Yeah seems so simple to make in whatever amounts you need or top up if you runout of a bulk buy and don't want to bulk buy for a short period? 🤔👍
great results on the KPL Extractor Andi, really moves that black stuff your plagued with...
Love seeing the new Garlic Bucket and Logo buddy....
Hiya, thanks for that. Yeah love the food bucket with the logo on it.. cheers 😉 👍
Another cracking update Andy buddy 💯👌🧁👍👍👍
Thanks Vince...😉👍
good update andy but i would of thought in summer doing a bigger water change and smaller onces in winter, and loving the gallic food
Nice Andy i use KMA and like it 👍👍🚀🚀
How long does it take to clear in your pond mate?🤔
Another great and informative video Andy nice work mate👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video..😉👍
Great idea with the garlic although I can't do that as I have a drum and oil cloggs a drum very quickly and you'd have to degrease the screens every day 😂
What if you literally put a splash to coat the food to make it smell better..🤔😉👍
@KoiPondLifestyle I do make a garlic food but I squash the garlic into water as any form of oil really plays havack with the drum screen when I used that marine halibut pellets for a bit I couldn't work out why my screens were getting clogged up every day then Mak at JKI pointed out it's the oil in the food so I cleaned them again and stopped feeding it and the drum worked perfectly again so I'll stick with squishing it in to water, simmer it for 5-10 minutes and then you have a really garlic water based one the down side is it needs using up as it only lasts a week or so but the plus side alot healthier for the koi and the drum 😊👍
Just bought some medi clay look forward to seeing the results
Nice one Andy….. 👍🏼
Thank you...😉👍
Hi Andy another great video. I use garlic powder mixed with water in a spray bottle weight out 500g food spray with the garlic water leave to dry over night koi go mad for it I also add the garlic powder into my pond after every water change 30g mixed in bucket of pond water add it in to pond.
Thanks for that. Sounds like you have got that sussed..😉👍
great idea that mate
Thank you..😉👍
I put a pinch of garlic granules in hot water leave 2 days then add brine from cheap 45p tuna chunks drop 5 cups of wheatgerm pellets in and shake drain off fluid to use again.
It’s a Sunday treat.
You going to any shows thus year?
@@KoiPondLifestyle No I dont go any place stuck in the house 24/7 must be 3 years now odd time go to local friends house.
Shame, as I think you'd enjoy the shows. Just got back from Coventry. Better show this year bit you'll see it on the vid next week..
Another hit for the pond keeper this winter again the possibility of no heat in the pond again.
Green levy of £170 to be added to household bills from this month.
I've never heated mine over winter so no change thee for my pond
@@KoiPondLifestyle everyone has to pay it if you have a electric meter you will pay it.
HOUSEHOLDS are set to pay a £170 green energy levy again from next month. Rishi Sunak faces a furious backlash as it emerged that the extra whack will go onto bills again as the government's energy support falls away.
But now the price cap is set to fall, the levies will return to bills - costing around £170 every three months.
The extra cash goes towards renewable green programmes, and helping lower paid Brits get energy help.
But last night Tories called on ministers to continue to waive the fees to help hard-pressed families.
Ex-Business Secretary Jacob Rees Mogg said: "Any new or re-imposed charge ought to be announced to parliament first and not slipped through slyly."
I want to get some fok 👍🏽
Go for it. I posted some links to get it from in the description..😉👍
Great idea using a camera to see inside the filter.
Did you have a light attached as well?
I’m gonna stick my GoPro in the moving bed now I’ve seen this!
Hiya, glad you enjoyed the video. I used a large torch from outside to get more light in there. Go Pro in a moving bed would be interesting.. Go for it...😉👍
Try hydra blanketweed doesn't cloud water and gets at fines , no black crap on sides ,1klg £16.99
Not tried that. Looks like I'll have to look into that then. 🤔😉👍 Where did you get it from?
Sorting out the shed today getting rid of old water test liquid I like NTL although you dont get as much as API I did have a HANNA small test machine but found it just to long winded to use also got rid of the Deror electrolyser I do still buy Selifert for Nitrate I found this better than API or NTL for Nitrate but just takes to long to use for other tests for speed its API which also is a good price as you can buy top up packs. Looks like a very bad weekend High 65 mph winds heavy rain and night temperature drops.
yep. Batern down the hatches this weekend...
👌
😉👍
fok it..I'm buying some. Where do you get your KMA ? Enjoyed the video again. Keep em coming
Hiya, I got my KMA from ebay. 😉👍
Hi Andy. Do you have a trickle in and out system on your pond?
I do. It's located on the last bay of the filter system so any chlorine that makes it through the dechlorinator doesn't affect the filters. I don't run it 24/7 but use it for top ups after filter cleans..😉👍
Ok cheers mate and thanks for the reply 👍
@@matthewwoodvine No worries..😉
Great vid, enjoyed it, best wishes, Tony😀
Thanks for that. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😉👍
1st past the post 🎉🎉
Nice....cheers 😉👍
