I love the lilly pads! Also, chickens are the best.

We used a tad too much chicken poop though 🤣🤣

Hi there love your videos need a bit of help when do I put a filter in with my hatch koi

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Cheers mate really means a lot, you need to seperate out your pump in a fine mesh bag so the fry can not get in

Zeolite is 👌 for ammonia. Happy Ponding. 👍

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Will have to give that a whirl!

[@simonshears5182]

@@TheBaldingReefer Many koi dealers/ outlets use when dealing with high ammonia and just an example that you can find on youtube (The 🇯🇵 water Garden). 👍

[@TheBaldingReefer]

I actually have a bag of zeolite, but I've never used it, will give that channel a watch! Thanks bro!

[@steventhompson6180]

Can you use the chicken muck pellets for the garden ?

[@TheBaldingReefer]

You can indeed Steven!

[@edanderson859]

Very informative as always, pity about the ammonia but I am sure you will have it sorted quickly

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Trying to build a bubbler system with carbon to reduce down the ammonia, will keep you posted

Never thought I would see the day when reefer and Mr Roche were smiling whilst shaking up their chicken 💩 😆😆 sorry. Great vid as ever. Super helpful for us accidental spawners 😉👍🦆

How is your spawn getting along mate?

@@TheBaldingReefer not sure at this stage, quite a lot of white dead eggs but I think still some doing okay. Could start hatching anytime from tomorrow. Fingers crossed 😉

Nice and green now.. Ammonia yikes... Too much fertilizer??

[@TheBaldingReefer]

You reckon that's what it could be?

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

@@TheBaldingReefer I have a friend who used chicken manure to culture fry ponds.. It turned water green and lots of food for fry but really had to watch the ammonia at the beginning.. Once it cycled more it was fine

[@TheBaldingReefer]

How did he help cycle it mate?

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

@@TheBaldingReefer Lots of oxygen and sponge filters with activated carbon.. Right up your alley.. Wouldnt hurt to toss in a couple water plants to help it that much more..
