Geoff, I've noticed you've mentioned your pond a couple of times recently, what do you have in your pond if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Bob no problem buddy Koi carp and three large sturgen,started off about 32 yrs ago with a pond about 12ftx8ft and it's been altered twice and is now around 26ftx18.
Also got a smaller pond that we built for the grandchildren that is about half the size of the original pond,I got some young butterfly koi at the beginning of the season and cant believe the speed there growing at.

Hi Geoff, I did wonder,a fellow koi keeper👍, I started my pond in 1990,similar time to you☺, a great hobby and nearly as expensive as shooting with night vision :lol: .
I've 3 sterlets in my pond too, one's getting on for 4'long and has a fair old girth.
Your pond is a lovely size, and I bet the children love it ,what's the gallonage?
