Was really pretty awesome, plastic dome with sponge edge to float.. then use pond vac to suck the air out, it fills with water and guy suggests tempting fish in with food till they get used to it. then to empty (suggested every 3 weeks for cleaning) use tube and suck to siphon water out. Really does give you an amazing look at the fish. Doubt it's easy to handle thou!!! and verrry expensive.. £895 each! :wideyed:

I was very very tempted with a gin rin showa! but there was no room in the car :(
 
Great pics Loz. Was a great weekend but I'm still trying to catch up on sleep! Only had about 4 or 5 hours each night - too much drinking!!!!

Those domes look good when clean but just imagine cleaning them every couple of weeks!!! They're big things!

Great pic Loz, and great koi. It's such a shame i couldn't make it, i was busy "working" with Steve and Saintly ;)
Ta!

I know, wish you could have... you could have come and helped me 'work at the bar' ;)
 
i dont know if i could ever show, i'd be a big worried mess :lol: but i do like to go and see it all.

:)

Pic's would have been better if 1. i hadnt been drunk for most of the weekend and 2. my new camera had arrived in time!!! grr.
