Absolutely love your pond, everyone seems to build modern type builds, your channel is so entertaining and educational always a pleasure to watch, the dance was very funny
Glad you showed the plant I had a really deep purple one at the side of my steps and it got ruined and died in deep snowdrift some winters ago and never new the name to replace it. Thanks. Rob.
I use koi masters advantage in my pond. Works well for me. Still trying to find time to make the upflow filter. Hopefully it should be soon as I'm off work for two weeks now.
@@DerbyKoi Yeah it doesn't take long for suppliers to catch on to a demand like that. I've spent probably close to what it would have cost me to buy a tempest. Mind you I've change the design a couple of times which means I have to buy more parts which has pushed the price up. Still I will enjoy making it and a cupboard to fit it in. I'll total up the final cost when I've finished.
Oh my god. I cannot believe you have done that with mixing the mediclay. Going to have to edit my video now as I did the same thing with flukes treatment haha. Beautiful plaque on she shed. I have the same.design as coaster. They are stunning.
Hi lau, sorry only just seen your message, it was sent to spam folder 🤨. You can still do the derby shake, I've challenged a few to do it ha ha. Stay safe 🤭
Oh no, sorry lau, I've already posted on social media that you'll be doing the derby koi shake 🤭. Bizley looking forward to it now, still if you want to let's a poor dog down as well as millions of koi keepers. 😂 No pressure 🤭
Hi mate, mixing that clay would have been brilliant if you'd had your slippers on lol. The plaque looks well smart. Just to let you know, it was a lovely day here yesterday mate lol. Great video, take care, Terry.
Dam.... forgot the slippers, I feel an update coming 😬. I think the wrighty subscribers would appreciate watching the president (you) do the DK shake method its life changing 😬
Another great vid I would like to share some pics of my pond with you, could I email them to you? Keep up the great work you have inspired me massively I appreciate all of your input.
Hi Dave, that would be brilliant, you can send them via my Facebook page or email derbykoiuk@gmail.com. Facebook is easier for me but email is fine. Thanks for supporting the channel mate, look forward to seeing the pic/ vid 👍
I will look you up on Facebook and send the over later just visiting our local koi dealer, we are going up to Queni Koi early next month to get some Hanna checkers and to have a look at their big black declorinators to run in tandem with my vyair 3 stage.
@@davesexton1013 cheers mate, I haven't been to QK for a while so I'm jealous, if you find a nice hi utsuri your welcome to buy it and I'll foster it for ya 😂. Have fun 👍
Just recieved the email pics, beautiful pond mate, nice setup too, how do you get on with the auto on the pod? I'll gladly show the pics on the channel and thanks for the permission, I know it helps others when they're thinking if building or redesigning pond. If you would prefer to make a short video, narrated maybe, I'll show that instead, if not I'll show just the photos you sent 👍
@@DerbyKoi Hi Andy you are more than welcome, although not as experienced as some you tubers I try as has been said pounding is not just a hobby it's a lifestyle, my koi love the shrimps, and they are eating me out of house and home. I get on fine with the easy pod auto, I have it set to clean every 3 days, draining into a large bucket with a tap fitted to th bottom the a pipe to the garage down pipe so no issues with water flooding the garden I will attempt a vid on the phone I'm not frightened to narrate I used to be a pro musician so no stage fright lol if I find a nice Hi Utsuri I'll buy him for you. Thanks for the kind words, I follow wrighty James, Martin, Andy from koi diaries, Lau, and a few others but I find your channel very good with great content. All the best and I'll try to do a short vid tomorrow. Dave.
FOK, then the look!! 😂😂😂😂. I just realised how it looks when someone else does it...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Excellent you've made my evening... I've just ran out of FOK so also looking for some where to replace? I'll let you know If I find some where first? Plaque looks ace as well!!😉👍
Your using the derby koi shake method (although you need work at it) so I'm using the lifestyle smile, fair exchange 😂. Actually that's quite catchy... the lifestyle smile 😬
Hi Andy great videos mate I was after some advice I'm looking at making a static bed and a move bed out of two 270ltr tanks how much media do you think I need I each ie k1
Hi paul, I'm not sure about the static bed, the moving bed can have upto 60% of its water volume so I've read. I have 50L of media in my 100L moving bed barrel system which contains about 90L of water. Hope that helps.
Hi mate, if you have a 270L tank you could therorectly put in 162L of media. But if you use less than 270L of water then the media vol will be less, if that makes sense, I would put less than maximum and after it matures you can increase to find a balance your happy with
We have 2 300L water butts one has 100L of genuine k1 and 50L of genuine k1micro the other has 75 liters of Oase helx13 funnily enough the helx13 works better but could easily take another 75L . The new K+ media looks good but I doubt it's as good as the helx13 and I'd definitely avoid the k1micro especially in such a big tank ! As it's sold in 50L bags I'd go 150L if you can afford it. Helx13 comes in 25L bags but it's only £37.95 at Cotswold koi which is where we got all are ponding equipment from he's a nice guy too ! The larger size of the media is easier to work with in a DIY situation too so that's something to take into consideration ps we have 4" pipe connecting each water butt and a 4" outlet and it can just about cope with 20,000 LPH but it's more comfortable at 15,000 LPH hope this helps 👍
@@DerbyKoi hope your keeping well..I'm seriously considering parting with my koi.just keep having issues with the water and fish and do not have the finances to upgrade the filter system..and its not fair on the fish.. they are getting very large now and just realy font know wot to do for the best
@@Kugadream55 oh dear, koi keeping can be so frustrating sometimes, it's a great hobby but can be difficult on a budget, it difficult to advise but if your having difficulty with water conditioning and Assuming you've checked your water parameters maybe think of reducing fish stock so whatever filtration you have can cope. Until maybe you can upgrade at a later date. It would be a shame to shut the pond down after the work you've done
Cheers steve, I have checked it out on Google and it seems all of the comments received are correct, thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate it 👍
I'm working on it, so far, I hold Bizley above, tell him its treat time, he wags his tail and cleans the foam. It's a working progress but the derby koi shaker took 5 years to develop 😬
The plaque is lovely Andy love the dancing shake stay safe 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏
Thanks Carol.

I use koi masters advantage in my pond. Works well for me. Still trying to find time to make the upflow filter. Hopefully it should be soon as I'm off work for two weeks now.
I mate, I think there very similar, I priced up the parts for the flow filter and cant believe the price increase in just a few weeks 🤨
@@DerbyKoi Yeah it doesn't take long for suppliers to catch on to a demand like that. I've spent probably close to what it would have cost me to buy a tempest.

Cheers mate, my prices so far are similar to the tempest, but like you I just love building my own. Keep us updated on your costs 👍
What a mover lol, the slate sign suits your shed keep up the good work and laughs
Cheers David, have a great weekend 👍
