FINDING A BIG LEAK IN MY KOI POND 🏊🏻‍♂️

[@fishwithcarl]

What other koi channel delivers this kind of entertainment?! hahaha I wanna go swimming in your pond now. haha

[@thekoichannel264]

Sorry mate swimming is banned 😂 but I’ll have the BBQ and some beer ready for when you come 🎥👌

[@fishwithcarl]

@@thekoichannel264 yay 😀

[@koistory5744]

Those plants are a nice touch to the garden Frank👌🏼 Glad you found the leak and turned out to be an easy fix😅

[@waltermaynard4742]

Hi Frank loved the way you methodically tracked the leak down you must of been frustrated removing all the good work of hiding the pipes. great to see the pond back looking even better than before.

[@landon1285]

Ponds looking good, The joys of swimming in your pond looking for leaks, We have all been there! Good to know my wife isn't the only one laughing while filming me in the pond!

[@georgecromar4094]

Wow, great pond! Great work finding the leak!!!

[@CATANDEYEKOI]

Cracking set up, glad you found that leak and applied a fix. Wonderful garden Frank. Cheers

[@thekoichannel264]

Cheers mate, yours is looking too draw. So glad you bit the bullet on the copeing stones 👌

[@CATANDEYEKOI]

@@thekoichannel264 Mucho expensivo but worth it.

[@greyeagle112]

Very well done, the fix of the leak, the remodel of the pond surround, and the quality video production. Liked this video for reference!

[@thekoichannel264]

Cheers mate 👍

[@DavesKoiPond]

good job on finding that leak! sounds like a good reason to rebuild the pond (bigger) and have it fibreglassed lol!

[@dkoi-tv]

Some going, fair play I don't even think I would have tried......... New liner for me......... Cracking job.

[@thekoichannel264]

There was times when I wanted to fill it in 😂

[@cornwallkoi6743]

Great job, the garden looks fab!! Bet you’re so glad you found the leak; personally I couldn’t think of anything worse than a leak. 🤜👍

[@garethlindsay4042]

Quality channel mate, all I get from our lass is “you watching them videos again” as someone who is planning his first pond your channel is spot on fella keep up the good work 👍

[@Mr4NDYP]

Great transformation from basically just a few plants and a bit of stone. 👏😍

[@AMGINE1000]

Evening Frank, Did really well find that rip, your Pond looks even better with the plants around it topjob thanks for sharing :)

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Garden looking mint...i know those Monkey puzzle trees can grow massive ...but never thought of growing in a pot (but i think you have to trim the roots over time), thumbs up to Darren from Absolute Koi for giving you the pointer (don't forget these guys get dozens of calls a day asking for advice)....young Frank not sure why you left in the bit about he reluctantly gave you the pointer. The rest was spot on...so i'm going to have a mark you down from a A+ to a A- 😀

[@stevenbance1745]

I could watch your koi husbandry all day..top end koi👌

[@markdunbar3164]

The joys of keeping water, its worth it when you see happy feeding koi. great vlog as always.

[@JoshuaBurch]

Mate I should’ve seen this before I got in mine, weights and dumbbells were a top idea ! Love how both you and I had the other half’s filming whilst we mucked about in our ponds 😂 great video and a great aspiration for a total novice like me ! Keep them up mate, will have to pop up and check out a proper koi collection !

[@davebrumbull7378]

Well done mate glad you sussed the leak, cracking pond and the planting looks great, the blade looks great ..👍🏻

[@scottcannings2746]

Well spotted Frank, lovely pond and fish, garden looks great.

[@danharbun483]

Cracking video frank, you have done well finding the leak on the liner great spot finding that. Pond and garden looks the business mate, looking forward to your future plans👍

[@adrianbellemy4420]

Mate your back garden and pond together looks absolutely gorgeous i wish it was mine, and that garden centre you went to looks massive

[@jordanmitchell4012]

Another mega vlog mate, Frank really liking the new Japanese theme to your garden and those cloud trees look mint 👌💪 So glad you found the issue!!! Koi look superb as always mate 🇯🇵🎏🇯🇵🎏

[@Matsuba81]

Another great video buddy glad you sorted the box weld and the pond looks great with the new plants . It does look better always a great watch !!

[@marekskoipond9083]

Great video Frank, top marks for finding/sealing leak, great selection of plant's gone in. Would love to see in depth video of your ro set up and how you manage it, my tap tds is 330 and my pond tds is 540 according to my guardian monitor and ph is 7.8 at moment with 5 DKH alkalinity, I think only a 200 rise in pond tds is proving filtration is working effectively, but would love to get ph/tds down to promote growth in my koi.

[@thekoichannel264]

Ro video coming up very soon mate 👀👌

[@daveparry100]

looks stunning and so different to most ponds you see today, love it and the planting works a treat

[@K.W.P.R]

I’ll be damned a little stretch in the liner and hey presto a hole , respect for spending that amount of the time in the water to find it , koi are all looking great mate 👍👍😀😀

[@jameshayton8469]

The pond and garden looks absolutely mint 👌🏼, can’t wait to start mine, the whole set up is awesome mate

[@ReeceA010]

Orite mate looking forward to the new content. What's the koi in your pond that almost looks blue I've never seen one. My 3 year old son went and picked his first 2 koi today he's 3 years old and he hand picked a gin rin ochiba and a orenji ogon he must have a good eye 😂 hopefully I'll be able to build my dream koi pond like yours eventually 👍

[@IcenI_Koi]

Looks absolutely fantastic Frank. Stay safe & well.

[@countrykoipond]

Good find. 2 hours in that suit..... I guess peeing in the pool would be quickly dealt with by that huge shower. The plants soften the harsh lines of the pond. A good addition in my opinion. 🐟

[@dannycurrie1]

Well done find the leak. Garden re vamp looks amazing. Brilliant content as always 👍

[@thekoichannel264]

Cheers Danny 👍

[@anthonywatkins2783]

Well in mate likes that it’s going straight in my basket lol 😂

[@mikesaunders6132]

Unreal pond!!! Take my hat off!!🙌🏼🙌🏼 Couple of questions, now I’m nervous about my box weld…what material is yours? Another question about the food paste you make, do you have a recipe? Thanks in advance, keep up the good work, inspirational & a legend!!

[@somersetkoi8309]

Garden looks mint mate and cracking job on the editing as usual 👍 is that painted timber around the top of pond?

[@thekoichannel264]

Cheers mate, it’s composite decking 👍

[@kevinterry6134]

Dont mean this in a negative way, frank, but Think the germans call it schadenfreude, but that is the Best video ive seen on here for a long time. I had a similar experiance a few weeks ago, but thankfully my tear was only a foot down, so didnt have to go swimming. Fair play to you on finding the leak, dedication at its best. The pond looks stunning, by far my favourite pond i have seen, and now looks even better with the added plants. Great channel mate, keep up the good work.

[@valvemonky4734]

i don't keep fish but do watch several koi channels and i think you have a great pond inground ponds seem to show the fish much better than above ground ponds looks more natural

[@KoiRun50]

How in the world did you find that!! Well done. Love what you did to your shower and that it is away from the pond.

[@thekoichannel264]

Many many hours of feeling, much more than the video let’s on lol

Hi frankie, the Japanese feeder that you got any good and easy to use ? 👍🏻take care

[@waynebrown5852]

Nice find Frank and looks like a good repair I'm having problems with a look on my QT pond 1.000 gallons its about 35years old it's concrete block and fibomix renda a pond seal, found a root that's put a hole in the block ,repaired hole but the full pond need a resealling should i pond seal paint again or box liner or fiberglass, main conservatory pond is fiberglass and about 25+ years old 🤔

Where does the rain water go? I sure hope you installed weeping tile around your footers, connected to a sump pump.

[@CarpMarkLester]

What is the Pleco mate? Bristle nose? Tempted to add one to my set up

[@thekoichannel264]

It’s a common Pleco. The best advice is can give if you going to put any in is to keep the temperature very stable and when you lower temps only drop by 0.5c a day at the most 👍

[@FishDynamics]

Amazing channel. Subscribed.

[@scottgifford2751]

Very interesting video frank, how long was your WBL in before it developed a leak ? Keep up the good work 👍

[@thekoichannel264]

3 years mate but only leaked because there was a rough edge where there is an unused wall outlet 👍

[@Pj-yy2my]

hi great find on the leak is it cheaper to run gas boiler over a ashp

[@thekoichannel264]

Yes mate especially in winter when the air temps are lower. While my mate was struggling to hold 12c with an ashp my boiler was half asleep 🔥

hi can i ask what boiler you have thanks paul

What material do you build the aquarium with?

[@Helveteshit]

Are snails bad in a koi pond? Feel like they could supplement the algae control somewhat, but it might be bad?

[@elsonsti]

i had my first pond with liner, the second pond concrete without hesitation.

[@thekoichannel264]

It’s a concrete block built pond with a liner, would be nice nice to have it fiberglassed

[@elsonsti]

@@thekoichannel264 oh yeah have it fiberglassed will be perfect !

Now thats what i call dedication ... main thing is you found the leak ...something that can be an absolute pin in the but

[@rolfdejong8135]

What do you do with the pleco in winter?

[@thekoichannel264]

She stays in the pond all year round. You have to be very slow when dropping temperature, I drop 0.2c a day as I go into winter and then hold 16c a a minimum temperature 👍

[@chrish2685]

You ain't been there mate,until you've unblocked your bottom drain in January in a pair of boxer shorts!
