[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Some very nice fish indeed. Love the hi utsuri which is unusual for me and of course the Dainichi showa. You have done well Lee. Now, don't mess up your good Welsh water and enjoy the fish. Lovely to see them in. They will definitely grow there. Heat, good food, space. Excellent.

[@robertnicholls9409]

You definitely don't hang about Lee, enjoyed following your build from start to finish and to see your fish going in was the icing on the cake, I've got a 4" purge line on mine and my ball valve is the same stiff as hell, in around 6 minutes it can dump around 850 gallons which use to go down the garden but ended up re routing it into a manhole once I saw the amount of water. Rob.
