Скачать или смотреть I Designed This Koi Filter From Scratch… And It Works! | T.N.J. | EP

In this 100th episode of The Nishikigoi Journal, Ricky shares the full process of building and testing a completely custom pump-fed filtration unit for one of his koi ponds. Designed to maximise biological capacity in a compact space, this unique system combines traditional brush filtration, a fluidised bed, and a trickle tower — all in one.

It’s a return to the hands-on, practical side of koi keeping, blending old-school principles with modern execution. From concept and plumbing to troubleshooting and success, this episode captures the excitement and problem-solving that defined the early days of koi system building.
