“I am on my 3rd pond in 3 years and hopefully it will last me at least a few years before the need to expand wins out. Since finding Uknishikigoi I hope to increase and improve my collection dramatically. I have been slowly improving my knowledge of water quality and koi breeds but the more I learn the more I realise there is still so much more to go.
My wife helps during the week by spending 20mins or so flushing and cleaning the filters every other day. I believe the filter cleaning is down to the nexus easy clean abilities. My water parameters are excellent and have had no issues with diseases etc. I have found that although some very experienced koi people speak bad of them I have found the nexus300 and Eazypod very good and it has helped get my wife involved as they are so easy to clean.”
