We have shown this pond before on the channel when there were some fines issues we addressed. However the last few weeks the fines had come back and quite bad.
We have tried slowing the K1 Micro bead down pretty slow and the results have been unbelievable, over night the pond was crystal.

This is one of 3 clients who are currently testing this method all with the same results. Shows the importance of skimmer filtration.

We will keep up the experiments with our clients and see what happens.

This pond is a 4000 Gallon pond run on a single bottom drain feeding a Nexus 320+

The pond also runs one of our custom skimmers via a 24" Kplus bead

The water is like glass!

Massive thanks to @Fitz's Fish Ponds for taking care of myself and Shintaro.
I’m sorry we didn’t get footage of Koifest but I’m sure people will tell you how busy it was, I have never seen anything like it.

This event was to sell Koi from Fitz Fish Ponds. No other dealer attended, it wasn’t a koi show. The event was advertised online and from the Fitz stores in New Jersey.

1200 people showed up for a single day event. Many existing clients but also a lot of new clients.
600 Koi were sold in 6 hours!!! It was incredible.
They had staff who worked so hard and all they were doing is bagging and boxing fish, it was something I had never experienced before. A great but busy day!

Can’t wait for next years!

This is @Fitz's Fish Ponds newest store in Colts neck New Jersey.

I just really wanted to show the UK koi keepers a store in the USA and how they do things different. Locations for all Fitz stores are similar to this one.

This one is more focused on the Koi side of things, along with many service contracts they have now secured in this area of NJ.

Not just a store to sell product and fish... The stores also sell the huge garden projects, and ponds...and huge outdoor kitchens. It is amazing what a small store can produce.

UK Shops are really just about products. We open, and sell what we have. Of course some UK shops offer pond services etc but not on this scale. a $200,000 outdoor garden job is a regular occurrence. So a lot of the time in American stores, are just a show room for other projects.
This one however is different because Brian and his team have really focused on the Koi, and in 5 months they have sold a lot of Koi.

If you are in the area, please check it out. Its a beautiful store.

This has definitely been a huge labour of love. An amazing self build pond, massive credit to the owner who has done so much of this pond on his own.

The pond runs on one bottom drain which is filtered by a Nexus 320

I have wanted to do this pond for so long.
This client buys all his Koi from us at @Quality Nishikigoi and when we are in Japan. A superb collection.

The first spade in the ground was the end of April 2022. September the first fish are going in.
A 12,000 gallon magnificent Koi pond was made, in a short time!!
This is fully indoors, with folding doors on the front corners which opens it up... we will enjoy the full effect in a future video.

The pond has 2 bottom drains which each feed a Nexus 320+

On the skimmer line, which is one of our custom wall skimmers, is a 36" Advanced filter.

What a fantastic weekend at the Great British Koi Show.

The show was a huge success and the Yorkshire Koi section worked very hard to make it as good as it was.
The standard of Koi entered was excellent the show was packed! A great weekend had by all.

A 90cm Shintaro Sanke took the grand champion award... So a big well done to James Colley for his Koi keeping skills. The Koi was supplied by Quality Nishikigoi, so we are also very happy!!

With the show being such a big success they are already looking at making next years show bigger and better... the dealers who attended have all re-booked!! So please put the same date in diary.

Thanks to all the club members who made Shintaro feel very welcome. We had a great time - Thank you.
