Hi Mark, Wow! what a setup, and the koi were amazing. I've never see a bakki shower that size before. I have bought a lot of pond bits from them over the years and found them really good. Thanks for showing us mate, take care, Terry.
Thanks man, it was a pleasure I'm going to try & visit more places this year if I'm passing by, and if they don't mind a Northern Lad, doing a bit of filming then hopefully I'll be able to do some more 👍
My pleasure Man 👍 the projects will have to wait a bit longer as I'm currently on my spring holiday in Lanzarote. But don't tell the koi 🤫as they will get jealous still cold at home up the 🏔😂
Hi Pete Mate, yes it was something else very impressive. A great achievement to Darren the owner and to have a business like that attached to your house ❤ life goals for most mate 👍
Great update and visit Mark. Looks a great place mate. Like others I have definitely ordered things from there online, but never actually been. Have you ever been to Blackburn House Koi in Cumbria mate ?
Hi mate glad you enjoyed it 👍 No iv never been there yet. If I'm ever passing I may be able to pop in one time. Have you been yourself ? Is it just open to the public or appointment only?
@@irishgeordieskoi Hi Mark, I know you can be up and down to Aberdeen with work, and wasn’t sure if you would pass by it. I have been once years ago, it was very good and open to general public as far as I’m aware. Was going to ask you if it was still good 😂 and worth the travel too etc. It’s probably my nearest dealer, but is still a good 3 hour drive for me. Cheers anyway…..👋🏼
@Andy’s Koi Puddle haha, no problem mate I have heard of it before & am curious about it, so will see what I can do this year. I don't normally look for dealers for purchasing koi personally as I get all my fish now direct from the Yoshikigoi koi farm. But I always enjoy a look through the door somewhere new 👍
Thanks Danny Lad appreciated 👍 Aye it's just strange asking to video in someone else's shop for the first time. But shy bairns & all that 😉 fantastic business & premises like 👍 living on site almost. Looking forward to following your new adventure this year mate best of luck with it all Be Well Man 👍
For us Japanese, the question arises: is it necessary to raise the water so high in a storefront pond? The sheer presence of the structure looks bizarre.
I can understand that the setup doesn't hold the aesthetic charm of a beautiful Japanese style garden pond. If that's what you mean? But I think as a commercial business open to the public for safety & also for a very comfortable viewing position of the Koi that you have really come there to look at, it works really well for that purpose. Anyways, personal aesthetic preferences a side. The koi & water quality looked great 👍
@@jdofb that not good at all, it normally gets good reviews that iv heard. Are you 💯 sure it was the genuine stuff & not some cheap knock off from China I've heard that there's loads of it kicking about 🤔

@@irishgeordieskoi oh right, i see mate. Nice one. Don’t be going on my account tho. 😂
I was just curious if you’d been by it at all….. 👍🏼
Been there, it's Darren's place, sat nav sent me in circles mind 👍.
Haha yes i know what you mean i dropped a pin on their drive on Google maps and found it no problem this time 👍
Great video mate. Never been told I can't film I always say it will be a positive video normally settles any nervous owners minds 👍

@@irishgeordieskoi Most place appreciate the free advertising. Thanks mate hopefully a lot of big changes to come. Keep the videos coming 👍
I love absolute koi very nice place 😊👍
Agreed mate me 2 lottery win needed 😂
@Irish Geordie's Koi oh yes never bought a fish from there as its very pricey but they do have some of the best koi in the UK
Been a few times over the years. Great set up. But still no prices anywhere
I'd be frightened to ask on that main pond Bobby but as you say it's a Great setup 👍
That is a big bakki shower
It is that fella, I couldn't afford the media to fill it never mind the shower 😂

@@irishgeordieskoi There is not as much belief in bakki showers in Japan as abroad. That does not negate its efficacy, though...(^_^)
I'd avoid that mountain tree stuff especially in bakki showers it disintegrates after a couple of years
Oh OK, thanks for that info man I'm not planning on putting it in a shower I've other plans for it
@@irishgeordieskoi I've got some of the small stuff was in a bakki river now in a shower and it's literally disintegrated
@@jdofb that not good at all, it normally gets good reviews that iv heard. Are you 💯 sure it was the genuine stuff & not some cheap knock off from China I've heard that there's loads of it kicking about 🤔
Hes got 150k koi coming in this week
Yes mate they did mention they had some new shipments arriving soon. Great place for a good look at some high end quality in the country 👍
