Wow, that is a nasty looking injury. So thankful you didn't end up loosing your foot. On a much brighter note as always your fish look stunning. Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery.

Love the idea of the wifi pump being programmable but as you mentioned wifi signal can be unreliable at times and depending on your service provider. Unfortunately pumps like that are just not available yet in Canada. The grow your own bacteria kit is an interesting idea. Depending on cost and dependability could potentially save a lot of money over the brand name varieties. Fish are looking awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hell has everyone's pump decided to go ? I am down-under and also just had to replace a pump.. Mine was a little more.. disastrous.. the Impeller shaft snapped. Not sure how... but.. it was cut in twain .. So Ran on a solar pump just to keep the bacteria in the filter wet and then sourced another replacement. In saying that Martin, Fish are looking great, you seem to be doing great... and you have had blue skies so that is also great !

KOI swimming and behaviour is not bad. The challenge for the future is how to achieve the bulky body shape that we and some South East Asian hobbyists have achieved, while paying attention to the relationship between food protein content and water temperature. Ideally, the area of increased flesh should be aimed at the shoulders and back, not the chest or lower abdomen.

I know exactly what you are going through when you mentioned back pain. I've had a bad back for almost 4 weeks now and after having an x-ray and speaking to my doctor yesterday she advised me that I have compressed fracture of my T12 vertebrae, located just above where my spine joins my hips. I am scheduled for a CT scan next week to determine the severity of the fracture. Needless to say the word I use when it comes to my pain is "excruciating". I'm looking at likely a minimum of 3 months for healing to take place assuming I don't do anything to screw it up more. Hope you're feeling better soon. On a brighter note, the garden and koi are looking awesome.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi yes this on the seneye , but unfortunately you have to do this every time you change the slide , so as a point of reference I use my Hanna pocket ammonia reader which is a calibrated pocket instrument as a point of reference then on the computer I adjust the ammonia reading of the seneye to match that of the hanna then you have a base reading for any fluctuations
