from someone that is learning in this hobby this is ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS I've seen, I wish I found it earlier this info is great for everyone! keep it up bro and enjoy your koi!
Great video and excellent advice regarding water changes. I'd already decided that polycarb panels are a must this winter for my outdoor pond, but you confirmed my thoughts.
Thanks Adam, top man, another great informative video. Unfortunately haven't got the funds for the drum so buying a Nexus 220 soon. Brilliant accent by the way, reminds me of my good friends in Mickleover, could listen to you chatting on all night! Thanks again
I must say I really appreciate your videos and I really like your fish they look awesome. Thank you so much for the the videos. I have goldfish myself and I love my fish very much. There may beast fried and they make me very happy. Thank you very much for teaching me about gold fish keep up the great work my friend.
Awesome set up mate and very good info I have a 6000 gallon take with viewing window like yours with an auto drum set up but I still change my water 10% a week to help balance and keep it clear , I will stop feeding them high protein too thanks for the advice
Great intuitive video as always, I'm so impressed & envious with your setup you must be minted! I learn so much more from your uploads than any books I read. Looking forward to your next keep up the great work thanks.
Try what I did: live in Florida! The warm temperatures have made my koi grow from 2.5" last April to now a whopping 9" to 11" after just one summer. Frequent high-quality food, frequent addition of water (usually from rain but by hose during dry periods) bog filtration (lots of plants).
David W. Peterson how much weight does koi gets in after every 3 months? And how long can you achieve for koi to get 12 inches of size? Does would take 12 months or just couple months to achieve this size??
really interesting. never thought id enjoy a bloomin koi facts video lol. but i found this hard to turn off...even though i know its totes boring...you kept my interest.
Hi I've got a an outdoor pond and it's 15 centigrade I've noticed that my koi have started eating better now. They love raw prawn and even the shy koi, will take bacon not the fat from my hand. I noticed that my shiro utsiri not getting bigger it's got nice black markings thou, your video explains it all.got 6 koi in a 12' long pond.got a few big in there.
Where do you buy your fish food from your shrimp and your daphnia and think like that that I'm based in the UK ok keep up the good work well done with your videos
would you be able to do a video on how you setup your trickle in your filters. or just explain the set up in brief. I've seen all the videos on filter setup but unless I've missed it I've not seen the trickle being setup. keep the vids coming as I do really look forward to them.
Hello Adam, I started to watch your videos around 6 months ago, towards the end of last summer 2017. I have to say your videos are amongst the most informative on the internet regarding Koi. Well done and congratulations!! I have a couple of questions regarding rearing (if that is the correct word) Koi. In your opinion what is more important: A) Pond depth or surface area? C) How much K1 should be placed in a biological filter (I have a diy one that has a 50 gallon volume) + 2 of the same volume for the mechanical filtration (K1 based). The final part of the filtration also comprises a bog filter/veggie filter based on alphagrog and water plants D) I have been informed that as long as my biological filtration has sufficient capacity, the water turnover rate can be as low as pond volume through the biological filter in 4 hours. What is your opinion E) Are you a Koi dealer. If so, what company Kind regards Alex
Hi Adam Just to say thank you for the time you put in on making your video!s you have given me so much info I've needed Just wanted to ask about your green koi tank how much would it cost to have one made can you let me have detail on where I can get one made please Kind regards John.
Thanks for posting this is a really helpful video . What air stone are you using please as it gives out such a brilliant flow. I am just a happy koi parent lol. Hubby is building a much bigger pond as my 2 very tame koi have got so big. Everyone seems so surprised at their size haha They were tiny babies once. Husband is moaning that I promised the little fish I bought would not grow so big haha
Hi, i did this video ua-cam.com/video/Lvz4ImT_hcQ/v-deo.html a while ago when i bought my first drum it shows that setup however i will do an update in the future to show how its working now and the changes i have made. Adam
hi again Adam. top video. found this 1 to be 1 of your best vids as your hit the nail on the head with the info I was after. so your main pond during the summer you would only do 10% water change a week??
Hi, Thanks for the comment. When the fish are spawning i have it around 25% per week but the rest of the time its 10-15% it really depends on the size of the tank and the amount of fish 15% of 41,000litre is 6000Litre per week so its quite a lot of water. My small QT tank holds 1,500litre and gets 2,000Litre per week which is 20% per day. I am on water meter so i try to only use what i need if i was not on a meter it would flow a lot faster. Adam
Thanks Adam , we do have this filtration system, is very costly, but works great. though we had some problems in the beginning the sieve kept on tearing but got it sorted. the problem is the we have a clear view window from inside the house, it is a bit challenging to clean, we try to use squeegee but around the corners, the algae grows little bit on the glass, after cleaning, there will still be some foggy looking kind of, but the center will be clean. you cant reach with hands as it is a deep pond, and the glass is at the passage center so its a bit tricky. any suggestion how to get algae out of the glass where it is not reachable? thanks in advance
Strange this one I have a very old pond 20 years at least with 3 GIN MATSUBA 16" approx. in it. It’s around 1000 gal and 3 feet deep but needs massive attention so much so that I need to build a new one. I got a keep net and moved my fry into this old pond 4 days ago. Today I noticed around 6 fry about 1/2 “ in size swimming in the pond they must of jumped out as I was putting them in the keep net I watched them for half an hour and the strange thing was the big koi just swam past them and seemed to take no notice of them I thought they would have been eaten.
You know any way to keep them small. I bought 6 koi from Wal-Mart they were all extremely sick, fins completely missing, foggy eyes, swim bladder issues. I was able to save all 6 of them with medication and 3 salt dips a week for 3 weeks. They are now very healthy and they all have grown about 3 inches. I have them in a 40 gallon tank I figured I would have AT LEAST a year until they would outgrow the tank bit they have pretty much out grown it in a month.
What is the fish feeder that you pointed out in this video. I am looking for a good feeder and all the reviews I have found are terrible. Thanks for your answer in advance.
Does it effect the koi having them in warm water all winter one year and then potentially having them unheated in uk winter weather in their second or third year ?
what would you suggest for pump and filtration system for a 1000 gallon pond please as im suffering from pond weed i have tried everything but my pond pump is getting blocked up every 2 weeks
When you use the trickle system how do you keep you Ph Kh etc in check? If your mains water is like mine it must be constantly dropping. Great work as always very informative. Regards Jez

Did you make that pond Thanks for videos :)
Glad you like the videos 😊
I had it pre built here is a video >> ua-cam.com/video/0rJ7FZ2HVpw/v-deo.html
Hello, I love what you do, but what is the average weight of 8month akoi fish 🎏🎏?
How do you make a soft spot in the water
lovely vid. do you every get annoyed that you cant clearly see your fish from the top due to the high surface agitation?
I really like your filter. When can I buy one of them?
Thanks Adam , we do have this filtration system, is very costly, but works great. though we had some problems in the beginning the sieve kept on tearing but got it sorted.
the problem is the we have a clear view window from inside the house, it is a bit challenging to clean, we try to use squeegee but around the corners, the algae grows little bit on the glass, after cleaning, there will still be some foggy looking kind of, but the center will be clean. you cant reach with hands as it is a deep pond, and the glass is at the passage center so its a bit tricky.
any suggestion how to get algae out of the glass where it is not reachable? thanks in advance
Sounds so funny as they attack the bread!
Thanks for the info, very helpful. I am just wondering what's the market price for those large koi in the main tank? Thanks
You can buy low quality koi that size for a matter of hundreds or show winners for tens of thousands!
I would guess his are somewhere in between
Hi
I live in uk weather cold all the time what temperature should I feed koi lay them grow fast?thanks
Hi pal... what do u use to warm the water...
Strange this one I have a very old pond 20 years at least with 3 GIN MATSUBA 16" approx. in it.
It’s around 1000 gal and 3 feet deep but needs massive attention so much so that I need to build a new
one. I got a keep net and moved my fry into this old pond 4 days ago. Today I noticed around 6 fry about 1/2 “ in size swimming in the pond they must of jumped out as I was putting them in the keep net I watched them for half an hour and the strange
thing was the big koi just swam past them and seemed to take no notice of them
I thought they would have been eaten.

I have them in a 40 gallon tank I figured I would have AT LEAST a year until they would outgrow the tank bit they have pretty much out grown it in a month.
Excuse me, how can i order koi peanuts from Japan (I'm from Georgia (not USA)) ?
What kind of bread brand name you use thanks !
great video, how often do you feed your fish?
Bread worms in compost for them i used to for my ponds maggotts alsorts used to test homemade ground baits with tank fish
Hi Adam...Great setup, can I ask how you keep your pond window so clean, I seem to be scrubbing mine every week or so with the algae.
They are easier to clean when indoors if a windows gets full sun you'll have to clean it daily.
Hi Adam,
Great video 👍.
I'm thinking of building a tank like yours and was just wondering how thick and what material did you use for the window ?
Here is a video of me installing the window >>> ua-cam.com/video/zbkPQcfbCx0/v-deo.html
If your trickle-ing in fresh water, how do you deal with the chlorine or other tap water additives before it goes to the pond?
What is the fish feeder that you pointed out in this video. I am looking for a good feeder and all the reviews I have found are terrible. Thanks for your answer in advance.
When i go near my pond my koi just dart in all directions. Any tips to help them become less scared?
my koi's started that kind of attitude but in about a year they become tamed and eats food in my hand
I ser thanks
Stand or sit by the koi pond more often and start by staying a bit more still. They will eventually get used to you.
Please tell me where you bought that giant jumbo pond! Thanks I must know
Excellent!!
Does it effect the koi having them in warm water all winter one year and then potentially having them unheated in uk winter weather in their second or third year ?
How much did it cost you to build those ponds?
How much do you normally sell them for?
TSNomad I’d say 30k +
I enjoy your videos a lot. Very informative. Are you a dealer? If so where are you based? Regards
Wonderful😄😄😍😍😍
what would you suggest for pump and filtration system for a 1000 gallon pond please as im suffering from pond weed i have tried everything but my pond pump is getting blocked up every 2 weeks
andrew hodgson perhaps you can hook it up to an aquaponics system which will reduce the nitrate load and discourage weed growth
What is a stocking capacity of akoi in apond of 50×100
where did you get these coi ? they look nothing like japanese koi
hi at 2.51 what is the name of that drum filter and what’s the capacity, of it, i am building 8000 gallon gravity feed will this be enough thank you
What kind of drum filter is that?
what's the website to check koi you have for sale? do you list with pictures and prices for individual koi?
Hello! You sell koi? You have plenty of them hahaha theyre lovely
Good job!
some koi are deformed....is the tank to small for they growing?
I just had baby koi and they are in a circular net that is protecting them. When do I release them into the pond?
When you use the trickle system how do you keep you Ph Kh etc in check? If your mains water is like mine it must be constantly dropping. Great work as always very informative. Regards Jez
Can you tell where you bought those koi fish please !!!
How do you troubleshoot the job Co UV sterilizer clarifier
Nice, thanks for sharing
I am so jealous of your house. My dream home.
Enjoyed that thanks
