Thanks 👍

Hi Kev, I get the build up of waste in that channel on drum, I put a 4" rubber straight connector on inside and a small piece of pipe in it after watching Lee Hadfield do it on his, it doesn't stop it completely but it is a huge improvement, stay safe.
Rob.

Another pleasant video. ☺️

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

Cheers Mark, Hope you are keeping well

[@koikarma5363]

Nice video mate interesting seeing the purges

[@colrobbo2821]

Junctions not any spawnings this year mate! Cheers mate 👍

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

Thanks for watching and commenting and also for that info

[@barryboxall6859]

If you are gravity fed, I assume your filters are the same height as your pond.
So to purge the drain into your filter, the water has to rise 12 inches or so ?
I’m asking because I’m in process of installing a drain and purge line, the shop I asked says the purge line has to be same height as the bottom drain to be effective.

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

I'm not that clued up on purging, hence why I purge mine BD into the filter unit. I know it is a must to have a method of flushing the drains but not the best way of doing it

[@mykoiobsession]

Interesting perspective of seeing the drain purge from inside the filter under water. A lot of bits of debris even after 3 purge cycles. Imagine the mess that would create in the pond without a bottom drain.

[@steventhompson6180]

what do you want for the one you are moving on ?

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

Thanks for watching. I will put a few photo's and clips on the Facebook, Instagram and Twitter page very soon. I'm open to any reasonable offer for the Shusui

Great update bud 👍 but 1 year old fry are tosai not nisai, keep up the good work 👍

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I think you may be mixed up. The Japanese refer to Koi in their first year as being Tosai. Koi in their second year (1 year old) are referred to as Nisai. Or in other regions less than 1 year old are called Tosai and 2 summers old Koi are Nisai. They were born June 1 2021 so they are in their 2nd year or 2nd summer.

[@keepingitkoi]

@@AKoiEnthusiast I'm sorry but I have to disagree the Japanese call them for there first year Fry, then on there first summer they turn 1 Tosai a 1 year old fish then on there second summer they turn 2 a Nisai.
A one day old fry is not called a tosai it's called a fry it turns tosai at 1 year old not the day its born 🤣🤣🤣

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

@@keepingitkoi exactly. This is their second summer and their second year of life.

[@keepingitkoi]

@@AKoiEnthusiast oh sorry I swear you said in the video they are just over 1 year old my bad 🤣

[@AKoiEnthusiast]

@@keepingitkoi I did say something along the lines of just over a year old. I believe they hatched May 2021 so they are technically 14 Months old and this is their Second Summer and Second year in life.
