With Tsurumi standard pumps, the best way to control flow is just a regular ball valve on the output end. The piping they use is 2".

I suggest using a flexi coupling like a fernco to do connections. Makes assembly/disassembly very easy.

Bro DragonFireSG, thabks for your advise. Will definitely change to Tsurumi if this Nova pump breaks down again... Btw how is the progress of your new pond? Really would like to see how you build it phase by phase give us detail pictures

Found an interesting video in YouTube regarding operation of the koi... never know that can just cut it open, remove the debris and just sew back. Done! Looks easy

Recently my fgt is suffering many casualties... including my 23inches albino knife fish was seriously injured and passed on..... really dont know who is the culprit... Now I am worry for my small pleco 😓 They have been together for the past years peacefully and out of the sudden, this culprit turns so violent. Monster indeed

A koi sock net would probably be best. They are also sized for fish that big.
