A bit late to the show, just came across the video. I can highly recommend this product, it was recommended to me by a local aquatics centre, A5 aquatic's no longer there unfortunately, anyway it really is the mutts nuts harmless to fish and your pond plants. I haven't needed to use it now for about 4 seasons and then the dreaded weed is back, a quick sprinkle over the infested area's is how I use it and literally you can see it start to work, and in 2 days completely gone. 👍

@@dkoitv7863 6:11 I hope that one day it will become a trend that it is cool not to use such equipment there too. It is a habit of aquarium keeping of other ornamental fish; in the case of KOI it is more important to develop the observational skills to judge the condition of the KOI than testing water quality. The proof is that no one in Japan do such a thing.

A couple of fish have had knocks. Just got over NPS also. My big sanke had jumped but she's on the mend. Had some right issues. The little feeder does 45 grams on 1 for me and thats fine with the koi I have. Parameters are all good here at last. In fairness the pond dropped 4 degrees is 2 days that is probably the cause of unhappy fish. Plumbed in heat exchanger today so that's sorted... Thanks for watching.
