Would have to say advice give on pond size in relation to filter systems goes out the window once your pond is over stocked 😉

[@Somfinfishy]

Love this pond so cool . I have a pond that is 7 foot circle by 2.5 foot deep cude I keep 3 koi ?

[@koiCompetitions]

Can I suggest you fit a float switch to the pump. The flexible pipe is well known to split in colder temps. Fitting a float switch will cut the pump out and stop the pond being emptied out should that happen. They only cost about a tenner.

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

Springbank Koi And Aquatics yea mate he will fit one at some point he is only just getting started with the koi Pond ect I did say it’s something to add at some point deffo 👍👌

Wwoooooow

[@dougiemontana4815]

If I were to build a corner pond at the back of my garden, how much space should I leave between the side and back fence? I’m thinking 2 foot at the back for a shower and pipe work and ideally I’d like to run the backside of the pond right up against the fence, is this possible?

[@DD-mr2tk]

That bin using as filter was creative. Any idea what size is his pond ?

[@detrimentkoi2137]

hey man never thought about using a bin as a filter system , what pump do you use to drag the water from the pond to the bin, thanks in advance

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

MarksyTV hello buddy it was my mates pond but all we did was put a cheap pond tec one on there 5000 about £60 ish the pump bin you can get cheap or free bit of media and you got a £500+ fillter buddy 👍👌

[@FXCartel]

Do the wheelie bins not let off small plastics or chemicals from how there made into the water??

[@FXCartel]

Any updates on this and how it's looking now

Might try home made bin and just run that and my bakki 💁‍♂️ seems a great filter with it being so big and easy to maintain. How many times you reckon you would have to clean it james or would you leave the gravel and replace the foams

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

Aaron Barclay yea mate we did put a tap on the very bottom sorry didn’t film that lol but yea just clean the pads ever week easy mate

[@aaronbarclay3000]

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

yea mate just get saller ones and in winter just build a cover or add a litter heater like I do mate

[@bonganimatjeke3455]

@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 i have been following your videos for a long time and now subscriber. I like your enthusiasm with the fsh. I just build a tidy pond not too big as due limited space but can keep about 3koi plus some goldfish. Mistake i made was i bought a pressurised filter system with pump. But from what i have learnt over watching this videos and other ppl comments is this type filters dont allow guarantee clear water so i thought of making my own diy filter and thanks to this video you just gave me confident to do so. My only question is i dont have bottom therefore im looking into putting retro bottom drain( better than having none i guess), can i retro bottom drain to a diy filter like the one on this video and have it run as gravity fed? Or is the filter on the clip pump fed? I cant decide on which is best especially if i intend on you a large bin as filter. My apology for a long message but you advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Not sure its such a great idea advertising the fact that the bin was "donated" by your local council LOL!

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

Mike Driscoll lol it was a free bin from them as the wheels on the back was broke and they just take them to the tip so made good use of it 👍👌good eyes thou on picking that out lol

Lovely pond but are them kio going to get to big for it I want to build one but dont know how big to go

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

The fish channel # hello mate yea if you can build one a bit bigger will be better but everyone has different size gardens ect and depends on how much money you can afford at the time it’s his first pond mate and it a nice little pond to be fare 👍👌

The fish channel # yea deffo worth thinking about a bottom Drain fibreglass installation if it fits your budget I wish I had the money to do it all on my pond but it can be very pricey and we all make the mistake of going cheep then 5 years down the line we think I wish ect but information and research is deffo recommended if you can afford to do it mate
