Proper planning is the first step towards Koi Pond Satisfaction. Thus during the design stage the koi pond designer should locate the koi pond near a terrace or seating area to enable the best viewing of your koi fish. These graceful swimmers add an ambience of peace and tranquility to any water garden plans you may have.
Very basically the following rules apply for gaining the best experience from your koi pond designs. You should try to locate your koi pond where it should receive a minimum of 6 hours of sunshine a day. Koi Carp are great lovers of sunbathing and show an increase in vitality and condition if given sufficient sunlight to super charge their voracious appetites and metabolisms.
Expansive deep water areas help to prevent the water from warming excessively in locations with high sunlight incidence. Furthermore, deep water in koi ponds also help to streamline your koi fish by 'squeezing' their bodies during deeper dives looking for their favorite koi foods. In winter, these deeper areas become 'warm water' zones for the koi carp to rest and keep warm during the colder months.
Deciduous trees and conifers should be kept far enough away from your koi pond designs because of their ability to impair the water quality with their falling leaves and pine needles. They should also be taken into consideration when laying out your koi pond. There is nothing worse than to suddenly find the roots of a nearby tree protruding into your neatly designed koi pond a few years down the line.
We find that the best koi pond designs are based around a block rendered, resin sealed design. This allows sufficient planning to occur to include the very necessary bottom drains, pipework and koi pond filters, skimmers and pumps to be included before the first sod of earth is removed from your garden. Additions such as fountains, waterfalls and even planting (koi carp use certain species of pond plants to aid spawning) are all considerations to your koi pond needs.
We currently use water garden and koi pond design software to enable us to prepare designs suitable for your individual requirements. All we require from you to begin this process is a digital photograph of the planned koi pond location within your garden. We then use our software to prepare outline plans and designs that are returned to yourselves via cd rom. These koi pond designs are in movie format and will allow for 360 degree viewing using your pc.
Koi Filters - Simple Rules To Follow For Successful Koi Carp Fishkeeping
Filtration And Water Quality
Nishikigoi (Koi Carp), especially the better quality specimens, are highly bred and thus are more susceptible to ailments than other pond fish.. They need a well designed pond and excellent water quality to thrive. Good filtration is a vital key to success. With these words in mind, we are now exclusively designing koi ponds around the OASE UK Pond & Water Garden Products, especially their highly acclaimed koi pond filtration systems.If you require a koi filter then please do not hesitate to contact us with your full name and address for a FREE OASE UK CATALOGUE.
Natural filtration in a lake or similar large volume of water where waste products from fish are kept low by the natural bacterial action at the substrate / water interface and by plant life absorbing some waste products as a fertilizer, this is simply not possible in a koi pond. Most pond linings are made from materials that do not allow for natural biological action. Koi Carp keepers must emply manmade external biological filters to remove toxic waste products before they build up to levels that can result in permanent damage or even death of your koi fish.
The Role Of Koi Filters - Efficient filtration keeps the pond water both clear and clean. It is basically a two stage system; the first stage separates outthe solid matter bgy settlement or mechanical filtration so that it can be flushed to waste, and the second stage cleans the water by biological action. sometimes a third, chemical stage, is required to perform specific duties. If there is no mechanical action then the biological media will act as a strainer and become prone to blocking. This causes the loss of beneficial biological action in the process. Koi Pond filters can be placed either above or at the same level as the koi pond waterline. All Oase Products contain all the necessary elements for clear, well balanced koi pond operations.
