A couple of years late commenting on this, but that vat and the fry would easily handle 10k lph. I found if they are constantly swimming for their lives against a massive current they eat more and grow much faster.
deffo the fry food causing your problems with the stickey waste!. had the same problem with a tropical setup with approx 500 rosey barbs in a 200 gallon container being filter by a large pressure filter with sponges!. was pumping the filter daily to get flow and had problems with the pipe work clogging so had a small tricke tower with a small sieve filter on the first level which was easier from a cleaning point of view but was pump fed not bottom drain fed!. i found because of the pump being restricted and virtual coming to a stand still on the pessure filter caused debrys to build in the pipe work!. i think more flow on your bottom drain sytem would help a great deal ;)
Hi mate great video. The jelly your seeing in the fry tank drum will be from feeding eggs mate i had that then stopped feeding the egg and the waste is loads better mate.
Finally !!! Thank you for this video. I've seen your videos multiple times now. I am new to this hobby, and I wanted to know why you grow koi? I know you made a video about how you keep the water and not koi. But my question is why koi? Do you grow them just because of size? or color? or you want to grow high quality fish etc. I have gotten into this hobby because one day I want a 20000 gallon pond with 10-15 varieties of koi that are grand champions and jumbo. And hopefully the koi's are from all the well known breeders in japan.
Exactly the same they are 2mm pellets i grind with a handheld blender. Those tubs of fry food are £15 and i have been using one a week i am not paying that. i have also been feeding them everything i can think of that they can eat mostly egg and bread but if its soft and small and i don't want to eat it it's in the tank. Adam
Hi Adam, interesting video! I see you have an automatic water top off on the fry tank. Do you have something similar set up on your main pond to compensate for evaporation and water loss due to the profidrum filter?? Thanks again!!
Hi Brett, I do have a float valve on the small tank as its drum can use a lot of water and needs the regular top up. However my main pond and other tank have both got trickle top up only. So the water trickling in is enough to cover all the ponds consumption and still overflow i preffer the trickle method it makes sure i always get the correct water change. Adam
Hi Adam , How did you get on with the condensation in the other pond with cuttlebrook koi in ? did the fan blowing air to ceiling work ? Or have I missed a video of the results, thanks Mark
Hi Mark, The fan does work pretty well although as the weather is getting colder again it is geting worse as the fan is only on during the day it can get quite bad at night but atleast it is not raining in there anymore and the fan pretty much clears it all off by 12:00. Adam
Hi :) I am confused. You have those nice breeders and a really nice setup. Why don't you breed your own fry. Cheaper and fun I think. I am going to try it this year, probably using a swimming pool LOL
I am going to be getting a bigger pump for this tank i think it will solve the issue as well although this did not happen with the larger koi but they did not produced as much waste as the fry. Adam
Those 12 month old ones have come on great ...are these Israeli ? or English Bred Israeli ..these fry have come on well ..another 6 months should show a difference...Dave
Hi Dave, The 12 month old ones are English bred from Japanese Parents same as the fry. Most of the large koi in main tank are from Japan. I don't touch Israeli fish. The fry should be a good size in November so you can tell what they are going to be like but I can't wait until they are a year old to see what actually comes of them all. Adam
Hi Adam I am having my hours cut in work and I can't afford to run the pond heater this winter will it matter if I turn it off? My pond is 20 foot long 10 foot wide 6 foot deep will my koi ok ?? Thanks kev in Wales
No mate, Japan has snow at time and other country's have now too, get a deicer thing I seen on you tube to make a hole to let out gas's mate if the water Freeze's OK.
I think i will make a salt video as there are a lot of things to be said on the topic both for and against and i only use it for specific reasons. Hopefully next week. Adam
The reason you have small and bigger fish from the same box is the bigger fish take most of the food, just saying mate after watching you feed them, you need to separate them ok.
Not even close this year :( I think i might just manage it next year hopefully as long as i don't include the water bill. i have no idea how people make money on koi. Adam
I'm not really sure for me personally ill have any fish that i like but with butterfly koi their is no standard or catagory for them like there is for specific types of koi carp maybe one day there will be.
Why not build a bioreactor that's a lot of wasted fish poop, and by a lot I mean probably 60 to 80% of the money you put into food is wasted fertilizer.
Until now I haven't seen your face, I saw it in their reflection, I have to say I thought you were a wrinkly old Australian from your voice. After I typed that I left for 30 seconds, I have no idea where that Persona came from.
Животные

Adam keep the air stone on all the time and you want have a bill up of Waste. I love your fish Adam You Do a good job at keeping your fishHealthy.
Hi mate great video. The jelly your seeing in the fry tank drum will be from feeding eggs mate i had that then stopped feeding the egg and the waste is loads better mate.
Thanks for that never thought of the eggs I guess i'll have to eat them.
I've learned with koi ! If you fit in my mouth your food said Mr Koi ! Many fry turn into far less large koi !
The 12 months have grown! What will you do with them all as they continue to grow? You'll need a (new) bigger pond! Great vid.
How do u manage with evaporation in your indoor ponds?
Hi mate great vids you inspire me to do more , oh do you live near Manchester airport

You buy small and grow for profit 👌
Wow! What more can I say?!?
That's a crazy big pond. Do you ever swim in there with them? You certainly could
Adam, you should build a solar panel system. Once you do that maybe you can make some good money
Hi Adam
What water temp do you keep the fry tank?
Can you swim in your koi pond, I've seen butterfly goldfish pools before but boys are much larger do you think they might bite your fingers off.
Hello Adam,
Is that a pacu in your main pond ?
What are you feeding the fry Adam? I'm using 2mm high protein pellets but put them in a pepper grinder so they only get small manageable bits
Exactly the same they are 2mm pellets i grind with a handheld blender. Those tubs of fry food are £15 and i have been using one a week i am not paying that. i have also been feeding them everything i can think of that they can eat mostly egg and bread but if its soft and small and i don't want to eat it it's in the tank.

Adam Julyan thanks adam
Just been watching catch up on your videos what do you do with koi you grow do you sale them think videos are great
How did you buy them for cuttlebrook online or did you go there?

Where did you buy the fry?
Hi :) I am confused. You have those nice breeders and a really nice setup. Why don't you breed your own fry. Cheaper and fun I think. I am going to try it this year, probably using a swimming pool LOL
I would save money and breed them my self.
My drum did the exact same. Reason is to little flow. When I turned up my pump, all the mug got flushed out.
I am going to be getting a bigger pump for this tank i think it will solve the issue as well although this did not happen with the larger koi but they did not produced as much waste as the fry.

What did they cost?
Hi Adam I am having my hours cut in work and I can't afford to run the pond heater this winter will it matter if I turn it off?
My pond is 20 foot long 10 foot wide 6 foot deep will my koi ok ??
Thanks kev in Wales

Use a air pump so it don’t freeze over
How much are the first lot?
How come your koi s are active and eat a lot mine don't eat much
Is this Keith lemon?
Hi mate I commented on your reply to me spot on, can you please comment on your views on salt, levels of salt etc etc would be good to here
I think i will make a salt video as there are a lot of things to be said on the topic both for and against and i only use it for specific reasons.
Hopefully next week.
Adam
Hi Adam, love your videos, always watching but plural of fish is fish not fishes!!
Thanks glad you like the videos :) It's fishes or fishus where i come from clearly you didn't go to school in Rotherham :)
hungry monsters! :DAwesome!
The reason you have small and bigger fish from the same box is the bigger fish take most of the food, just saying mate after watching you feed them, you need to separate them ok.
Adam, the real question is... Do you sell enough fish to pay off your electricity bill? xD
Not even close this year :( I think i might just manage it next year hopefully as long as i don't include the water bill. i have no idea how people make money on koi.
Adam
Buy in bulk and sell at a low cost.
I have two blue and white koi What is a butterfly why don’t I hear anything about blue and white or butterfly Koi I think they’re beautiful
One is aButterfly
I'm not really sure for me personally ill have any fish that i like but with butterfly koi their is no standard or catagory for them like there is for specific types of koi carp maybe one day there will be.
Why don’t people talk about the blue and white koi
@@janettefasick1444 They do Asagi and Susui
Why not build a bioreactor that's a lot of wasted fish poop, and by a lot I mean probably 60 to 80% of the money you put into food is wasted fertilizer.
Hi just new to the koi business eny tips ?
Martin Laird buy a sports car instead it will be cheaper in the long run.
Adam 78 true av only 1 koi ATM
Until now I haven't seen your face, I saw it in their reflection, I have to say I thought you were a wrinkly old Australian from your voice.
After I typed that I left for 30 seconds, I have no idea where that Persona came from.

This guy OVER FEEDS his Big koi..... And yes that is possible
Dewnm
