Welcome to The Koi Place Part of the M Cameron Group Register online before the 31st March 2010 to receive your Free £25 koi gift voucher (open to UK customers only)     Product update. Are you concerned about the ph of your pond ?  Do you add buffers to your water (kh,gh,ph) ? ph swings are dangerous to the health of your koi and can be caused by excessive rainwater or change in supply from the water board (kh,gh). A sudden drop in ph can kill the koi and also result in a filter crash which has the knock on effect in the inability to process the fish waste which then kills the koi. To solve this problem many koi keepers spend hundreds of pounds a year in buffers and test kits to keep their water stable. We now stock ph granules which dissolve over a long time period to keep the ph stable between 7.5 and 8. The doseage rate is 1 kg to 1000 gallons with the granules placed in water movement (filter, waterfall etc.) inside a mesh bag. Typically the granules need to be topped up from time to time which is roughly a third of the initial amount added per year.  i.e 1000 gallon pond needs 1kg of granules with a top up amount of 300g per year. Most customers are happy to replace the whole amount with new every year because the product is so cheap. There is also no need to worry about your exact pond volume as it is impossible to overdose with the product. Minimum order size is 1 kg and comes with a fine mesh bag. ph granules + free fine mesh bag  £10 per kg      We have been very busy over the last few months building ponds, landscaping and giving valuable guidance to customers that are building professional koi ponds some in excess of 50,000 gallons. Once they have beenfully completed the photos will be available for viewing but in the meantime if you are deciding on building yourself a 'professional' koi pond then don't hesitate to contact us and we will help you through the build process and supply you with the correct equipment for your requirements. We offer a design and planning service with Peter Waddington who has over 30 years experience in building the best koi systems all over the world. Peter is the true pioneer of the UK koi industry, he has brought us the bottom drain, vortex unit, horizontal flow filter and has selected 18 of the 26 UK national koi show winners to name a few of his achievements.   Check out the new section 'Customer Ponds'.       We are now the Uk's main supplier of fabricated bottom drains and skimmers designed by ourselves and used in all our professional koi pond builds. The drains and skimmers can be adapted to suit pond size for instance larger airdome and plate or bigger outlet on the skimmer to provide additional filtration. The bottom drain incorporatesa fully airated 1" line so does away with the need for running hoses to the drain. Please ring for your requirements as bottom drain placement is crucial to an efficient pond.     At present with have koi from Yagenji, sanke from Shintaro and kohaku from Hoshikin.
