Hi Dave
Forget the pond, some speical koi there if only! Wonder what kind of money changed hands for koi's like that? I bet we are talking at least over £1000 if not more per fish. I bet some of them went for £4000 or £5000

Hiya Dave.

Does this new pond replace the one he had earlier? Or is it an additional one?

Hi Mr Sanke

I would just like to ask a question What makes the Drum so diffrent to the sieve? the only thing I can see is that it rotates now and again to clear the rubbish out of the drum? if I change my sieve to 70 mic and clean it every day how diffrent would it be? and it would save me something like £700.

Shevy; Only by seeing real high quality fish do you start to get an appreciation of the difference between good, stunning and mind blowing and as well as being educational, it’s inspirational.

Freddy; This is an additional pond, the others all remain and have been swapped over to drums for mechanical.

Ryan; Hope it fits in the van! Worth the wait and be great to get those pumps turning.

Shevy

The screen on a drum will clog in 10-12 minutes, so to manually clean it is a 24/7 job; hardly time for a cup of tea

Hiya Dave.

Mike certainly knows his stuff, so the chances are, there aint any better out there. I actually bought one of his Koi, maybe 10 years ago, and was VERY impressed by his set-up, and his Koi were amazing. A pity, his prices mean that most of his fish are out of my league. I say "his prices", I guess it has more to do with the exchange rate
