REMOVING KOI POND FULL OF BLANKET WEED (EASY AND CHEAPER) 😉👍**IMPROVING POND WATER CLARITY👍😮

[@Sharpeyskoi]

before i had the nexus and my pond was run on box filters i used to use tea towels that i got for like 30p each. changed every 5 days or sao and they used to clear the pond right up. especially with green water

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Good ideas. I like your thinking..😉👍

[@rickigoode8536]

Thanks again for sharing and excellent vid. You'd notice a hige difference with a decent particulate filter such as a sieve or similar. I've also been feeding primarily on Hikari Wheat Germ Formula and NT Labs Probiotic from start of September and its making a massive difference to water quality. Fish are loads more active also.

[@SeanHiggins-o5f]

Ive tried most blanket weed treatments most seem too destroy it all plus the good layer of algea on the pond to quickly which can lead to water parimeter and filter problems so i use blagdon pond pods they remove chlorimide and heavy metals aswell 1 pod every 2 weeks works great and costs next to nothing

[@martynmezzone114]

Great video mate as always 👍👍 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Who's the happy chappy sitting under the sky pond lol 🤣😂😂😂😂😂 Don't know if it's something in the pond or a reflection but it's hilarious 🤣

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thanks for that. What part of the video can you see that?🤔

[@martynmezzone114]

At the start just under the sky pond it looks like a head underwater carved like a jackolantern Don’t know if it’s a reflection or not but it definitely looks like a head lol

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Ahhh, I see what you mean. That is a lantern and yes I thought it looked like a stormtroopers helmet at a quick glance..😄😄😊👍

[@MrSmithy63]

Some good tips there , will try the half dose . I did treat at beginning of season and its just starting to come back

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thanks for that. Yeah Go for it..😉👍

[@hertskoi]

nice video Andy defo room for though research is for sure

[@steveg4315]

Think that stuff is geotex Andy you can get it in different thicknesses Keep those videos coming 👍

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thanks for that. Will do..😊👍

[@carollycett1329]

Nice update Andy it sure does work

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thanks Carol 👍

[@DiggingwithDallas]

Nice one!! will be trying this myself like you say the uk weather is odd. My pond is in full sun all day every day but is clear. Iv got a huge filter it’s over kill for the pond but was cheep so it came home with me. Iv got grass carp in the pond as well but they are definitely not a fix the problem with blanket weed!

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Hiya, thanks for that.😉 yeah full sun is a pain hence my use of the large brolly I can use as a temp shade that seems to help. I had a couple of grass carp but they just got used to eating the food for the other fish instead of the blanket weed...🤨😉👍

[@Simonsimps]

That stuff looks like Terram. We use it under block paved drives sometimes when the ground is rubbish. Never thought to use it in my my pond..... Until now :)

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Kerching... can't knock it till you've tried it..😄😉👍

[@StokeKoiAdventures]

Good stuff Andy

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thank-you..😊👍

[@Davidj3]

If you have blankedweed or string algea, you don't have enough filtration or your not changing enough water. Which can lead to disease.

[@Mekismo]

Is cloverleaf blanket answer safe to use with Sturgeon?

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Hiya, The wording on the tub destructions say, 'Safe for all pond fish. The pond should have a good level of Oxygen saturation, especially if you have Sturgeon or Orfe'. Hope this helps. 😉👍

[@1961kickboxer]

Is it ok to medicate my fish with anti fluke treatment even though there not flashing ,my pond is 4 years old koi and golden ore?

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Do they have Fluke? I wouldn't medicate for something the fish don't have or just in case you think they have Fluke...

[@1961kickboxer]

@@KoiPondLifestyle yes think I’m being overly cautious

[@chrisguybob]

To me, mho is if your going to keep Koi and know they are going to be happy then something a little more natural is key. Seeing these Koi pools (not ponds) is like looking at a sterile stretch of water with nil interest. Th my mind you need plant life and the pond life that goes with it.

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thanks for watching..

[@everythingbutkoi6898]

How come? Must be high nitrates?

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Probably. I have no plants etc in the pond to remove it plus in full sun so yep...😉👍

[@gregorygreg4263]

Unfortunately my drum takes this out in 24 to 36 hours. So i am trying columbo blanket weed treatment. I attack it when it is just over an inch long as this cuts down clogging up of the drum.😂

[@lesjones7617]

If you would like to end your blanket weed problem? get two or three floating baskets, polystyrene ones are best! add a little pond soil and plant with ordinary garden Mint!!!

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Hiya, I have looked into getting some plants in but with the pond having vertical walls, I'd have to hang more things over the edge...🤔🤔

[@BigRobuk]

mine took like 3 weeks the only annoying thing is it blocked my bottom drain, shut my flow down till it started to clear :(

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Mine blocked the drain last year. I think I was luck it was still attached to the side so was able to get it out again with a broom handle..

[@LeTwistedOne]

Looking good Andy buddy 💯👌🧁👍👍👍 I'm getting shot of the small multibay in the near future was you wanting it 🧁❓️👍👍👍

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Hiya, I've got some plans to increase the filter system over winter but the multibay wouldn't fit unfortunately... Thanks for asking though. 🙂 😉👍

[@LeTwistedOne]

@@KoiPondLifestyle no worries bruva 🧁👍👍👍

[@jgbartist]

NuAlgi.

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Why is that stuff so expensive...😲🤔

[@Kbb-koipond]

You have to remove the reason to the blanket weed instead of using poison. you have too much energy in your water. maybe your filter is too small. never had weed in my 27000l pond with 30 koi

[@Davidj3]

I've been telling him that. He won't change. His filter is old and to small.

Fish still not eating Hikari and pond temp dropping quickly kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZqvoqGKarlqn6c

hi

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Hello...

[@curse6of6me6]

That isn't pond liner. It looks like geotextiles fabric.

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

You might be right but I've never used it so can't comment onnifnit is or not..🤔👍

[@curse6of6me6]

@@KoiPondLifestyle a liner is what holds your water in your chosen pond ect.

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

That stuff goes under the rubber liner to give it some cushioning like the underlay..😉👍
