    Mmmmmmmmmm think you might regret getting rid of the Bakki Shower....following with interest, would like to see water test results after a week or so, Rodders.........👍

      I’m 3 weeks on. No dip in parameters at all. Feeding has remained the same. There’s plenty of bio in my nexus that the additional bio just wasn’t needed. Unless you put tons of water over a shower, they are merely a haven for dead spots and bacteria. Was surprised how much of the media was dead in the shower. My koi are so much livelier without the shower - best move I made and won’t be going back to one. Best bit….. it’s silent now 😊

      @IcenI_Koi approx 12000 litres per hour. I’m fortunate, I have a decent size bio on the nexus. I can see why those with limited bio capabilities would opt for a shower. 👍🏼

    Air curtains are so much more visually pleasing i think, ive never been a fan of bottom drains specially in ponds with windows they take away that crystal clear water look and they always leave like bubbles on the surface to be skimmed off, curtains you dont seem to notice there on anywhere near as much

    • @edenkoipond
      @edenkoipond  Год назад +1

      I totally agree. The koi seem to like it more too (I think) A friend of mine had done some studying and found that air produced through a curtain/pipe is far more oxygen rich than what’s released from BD air stones/rubbers. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Really interesting you've removed the bakki! I've been seriously considering not using mine on my new pond build. Your pond is looking class as the minute mate 👌

    • @edenkoipond
      @edenkoipond  Год назад

      Thanks buddy! Genuinely don’t know why I didn’t remove it sooner. Koi are far happier, pond is peaceful and I have one less thing to worry about. Really surprised me how many people have come forward since I took it off saying it’s a wise idea.

    Nice video Dave, so the air bar is it sitting on the bottom or halfway up

    • @edenkoipond
      @edenkoipond  Год назад +1

      I had to really play with it. On the bottom, it was attracting turds to the bottom. I’ve found the sweet spot around 50cm below the surface 👍🏼

    I chucked 2 1m burton ones in mine looks so much better than having the air coming from one air stone

    Won’t you get rust from the straw? Think that’s not steenless steel

    • @edenkoipond
      @edenkoipond  Год назад +1

      Really good question and one I had to look at. If you buy cheapo straws, although they are stainless steel it’s definitely possible (all food grade steel has to be certified stainless in theory) The straws we purchased have a minimal nickel content of sufficient measure that it’s classed as 316. Most stainless steel products on a pond are only 304 - sieves etc. hope that helps 👍🏼👍🏼

    Could you not put elbow on return in pond directing flow down wards

    • @edenkoipond
      @edenkoipond  Год назад

      That would not have given me the level of circulation I wanted. When facing straight down, it merely pushed the muck in an upwards draft subsequently lifting the muck off the bottom. With the 45 elbow I’ve been able to tweet it so the flow is optimal to push the solids towards the BD whilst still creating a flow on one side 👍🏼👍🏼
