Thanks for the comment Ann I think this project will look good when it's finished 👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Nice one Martyn, cracking job with the koi art and window in the IBC👏👍😊. I didn’t think the IBC would be rigid enough to take a window but you appear to have made it work👍. I think you may well have started a new trend 😂🤣👍. Keep up the good work buddy👍🐟🈲😊

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Thank you very much Phil and I hope I have started a trend with the window install in the ibc think it's going to look good cheers martyn 👍

[@OrchardKoi]

Cracking job. May have to try this in future

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

thanks buddy and why not try it 👍👍

[@OrchardKoi]

@martynskoipondandgarden4581 what thickness did you use for the window?

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

@@OrchardKoi its 10 mm perspex

[@carollycett1329]

Nice job on the IBC with the window, also on the koi fish artwork do you have a template for them Martyn stay safe and well 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Thanks Carol I don't have a template I just copied from a picture from my phone 👍

[@Matsuba81]

Great job mate , well done it’s all looking great!!

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Thank you Mark 👍

[@BlackCountryKoi]

Well done Martyn , cracking job there pal 👌

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Cheers davey👍

[@mykoiobsession]

So far so good but fingers crossed the window holds especially once the fish are in. That slight bow in the window would scare me enough to drain the ibc and install a thicker piece of perspex but as always you've tried something different and it's worked out fine. Looking forward to the finished product. Cheers.

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Thanks for the comment Ken buddy I've got a few months to get this done 👍

[@jiggsmountainviewkoipond]

All looking good mate fairplay cracking job on ibc definitely double up on glass if I was you especially when the water gets colder and warmer because it expandeds and contracts but for first attempt wicked job 👍👍😉

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Cheers jiggs mate I've got it sorted and will look good when I get it done 👍

[@skeggy]

I would still be putting the bolts through matey once that ct1 has gone off just to compress the gasket seal a bit more.. but a cracking job

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Yeah your right skeggy but not bad for a 1st attempt cheers 👍

[@skeggy]

@@martynskoipondandgarden4581 absoloutely great mate

[@jamieskoipond]

Pond and filter house looking good. Ibc with window looks good too would you not put an extra piece to help stop the bow in the window
just to be safe you don’t want it bursting when your in work or when it gets colder. Just a thought.

[@martynskoipondandgarden4581]

Jamie this was just a test to see how the perspex would hold but the thicker stuff won't bow cheers mate👍
