well al up and running now, sorted the small leaks had in the piping. sieve seems to be working good and bead filter. just need to put another gate valve into the system as when you use the wir blower it blows back into the pump and then back into the sieve. put some filter start into the bead filter and now got some small fish in and they feeding like mad .
going to just leave it running now over next 3 or 4 days before i pick our best fish so far.

Who's a 'happy chappy' then Mark!!! and deservedly so after all your hard work. I know you've still a way to go but, fantastic stuff.

Went to my local koi dealr today - just to get a 'fix' and have a look around for ideas etc. They have some beauties there - for an eye watering £6995.00

Also, as it's September, price reductions of 50% on all koi, but I resisted the temptation, as I will wait until my 'extension' is complete next year.
