Nice little update there mate that time of year is definitely on its way if you are interested was wondering if you had time to help me set up a solar system as I don’t have a clue on how to set it all up little winter project

[@boxtriker]

Mate will catch you next week on how to set up a small solar setup it would be worth it for you that's for sure your power use must be nut kicking have a good weekend

[@keepingitkoi]

Great update bud I'm already for winter now as well keep up the good work 👍

[@boxtriker]

Still holding off the covers hear but the first nice day this week and i will be putting them on

[@PaulWheelerPhotography]

I have found the moss has grown fantastically well in my waterfall/stream water return this year. It’s even started to coat the walls of my pond. I haven’t removed it, as I feel it’s natures nitrogen remover, and oxygen supplier. It has caused a few issues with my mechanical filters, but I feel the benefits outweigh the small inconvenience. It has also stopped the blanketweed 😊

[@boxtriker]

I like the look of the moss as well but its fighting with the rest of the plants in the veg filter hear have a good weekend Paul

[@PaulWheelerPhotography]

@@boxtriker Yes, I do have to remove some of it regularly, but at least it's easy isn't it :)

[@Djl19941]

[@boxtriker]

[@BlackCountryKoi]

Nice to see you again Martyn , nice clean up on the bog and those solar panels are still doing the business 👌 you have an amazing system running there and it certainly runs perfectlyand thats why the fish are so happy. Cant believe the covers are going on already , only seems 5 minuts since i was in the garden with you there burning in the summer sun. Take care buddy and have a great weekend 👍👍👍😉

[@Wrighty]

Hi Martyn, good to hear your feeling better mate. Love the baby tears 👍👍I was thinking about putting my pond covers on, but the forecast is giving 17c for next week, so leaving them off for now. Stay safe mate, Terry.

[@boxtriker]

Hi Terry winter has hit down hear but temps are still not that bad so holding off the covers as you are but don't want to be out there in the cold and wet putting them on so next week on a nice day it i will put them on have a good weekend

[@CATANDEYEKOI]

Love to see all those colours in the filters. Hopefully putting some plants in shower tier next year. Can't believe you have got away with no parasite issue but great result all the same. Stay safe mate

[@boxtriker]

I think i have just been lucky with the parasites Steve as long as i dont end up paying the piper later for it. have a good weekend mate

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Nice update Martyn, glad to hear you are better. Fish look good. My plant died... pretty sure it's before it was on the pond side where the polycarbonate sheets are and it didnt get the sun it needed... 😞 Cant believe we are heading towards the winter... Stay safe

[@boxtriker]

Will sort you a new cutting in the spring next year Lau when its going its best. hears to a warm winter i hope

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

@@boxtriker thanks Martin. Yeah let's hope it's not going to be a harsh one with snow. Even if I like snow

[@richardbrunton2068]

Cheers martin 👍

[@Sharpeyskoi]

hey buddy, winters soon come round, ive just done my winter preps this week

[@boxtriker]

Still been warm down hear this week but its not going to last

[@countrykoipond]

Just cleaned my veg filter today. Pulled every pot out and washed the sediment off. I was surprised that it didn't smell too bad but those plants can grow and they are flipping heavy. Do you ever pull your pots out?

[@boxtriker]

Yes i do take them out and i know bloody heavy a quick vac around the bottom sorts it most times

[@raysharman7162]

Hi Martyn, I'm looking to purchase a large koi plaque. I seem to remember you mentioning that you sell them on ebay? Is that the best way to place an order? .....cheers mate
