Been like that for about 4 days now. I netted some foam out today as it was virtually covering the entire pond. Wouldn't like to think what's actually in it... ::sick::

Been a long time since I did the last update.

All goldfish are happy and well and the sarasa comets especially have grown well. Still got 2 black goldfish from last years spawn.
All x5 koi are good and well although massively changed colours since they went in. One white one is now a turquoise colour with silver mirror scales, the pale yellow one has got a lot more golden and the solid silver one is now about 50% covered in orange patches.

Plants have gone mad this year. Really happy how established it all looks. Had to trim and dig out the waterfall twice in the last 2 months as it got completely buried. Done hopefully the final trim and covered with a net for winter this week. Shame to spoil the view, but I'd rather keep the fish safe.

I've also rigged up an auto water change system with guttering from the garage so every time it rains the pond become crystal clear.

And before the photo police get me...

Thank you. Been very interesting to do. Now the water change system is in place hopefully the fish will be even happier. Just like inside, it's a constant learning and tweaking game. :)
