I have been watching your videos for years - I am originally from Nottingham UK but emigrates to Newfoundland Canada many years ago - I sometimes wish I lived back there just to visit your store. I keep koi here but it is quite the challenge. Love your videos.

Shop has been open for about 30 years. But it probably has not changed all that much. If you are ever over in the UK please pop in and see us. We will definitely make you feel most welcome. This years been a wet winter so everyone is looking forward to spring hoping for some sunshine. Have a great day sir and thanks for watching.

Great job Lee 👍

[@mykoiobsession]

Great idea using the metal (or similar) pegs to line up the skimmer gaskets and face plate. 👍🏻

[@leecalladine]

So simple. And it works!

[@westbromkoi]

Great info Lee, I’m just building my new pond so this info on skimmers is bang on 👍🏼👌🏼

[@leecalladine]

Have loads of other videos like this. Going to do similar ones for drains, pumps etc soon.

Best method I have seen....... Fair play

[@leecalladine]

I learnt this years ago after loads of faffing around.

[@Sharpeyskoi]

great info lee

[@vaper106]

Thanks for the info. Seeing that it can’t go many other places, why is it not made to fit a block wall. The extension almost doubles the cost.

[@leecalladine]

I imagine this mold has been repurposed from free standing wooden frame swimming pool with vinyl liner. Cost of alternatives is high. Cost to make one just for pond trade very high.

Nice Vid...😉👍👍

[@russelltordoff5150]

Clever

[@leecalladine]

Thanks.

[@Carl.B79]

Nice Lee would that work for bottom drain thru liner? Building wooden pond with liner

[@leecalladine]

Absolutely

[@leecalladine]

Definitely works well.

[@Simon.Bryant]

Good advice! I’m setting up a 1000g round tub and enjoyed your build series for the ones you did. What skimmer would be good for the round tubs? I think you mentioned skimmers in the vids but I can’t remember seeing them. Thanks

[@leecalladine]

If the radius is not too tight you should be able to mount a standard in wall skimmer.

@@leecalladine thanks Lee
