@@alexisthisreal5488 thanks

Yes I'm going to build a larger one with flush valve at bottom in next few weeks.

@@alexisthisreal5488 please make an update video when it's ready!

I will mate

@@alexisthisreal5488 👍🏼🙌🏼

@@antonymorris4180 my voice mate 🤣

Thanks for watching.

No separation. Larger rocks at bottom. Then small as you go up. I have a longer video showing me do it.

Hope it goes well. See your a fisherman. Same here.

Hope it goes smoothly mate.

Thanks mate.

I flush it once a week. By opening valve. I have filters like this I have not got gravel out of and cleaned for years. Just flush it. The plants in top flourish. I test water coming directly out of filter. Clean. Obviously you size it to pond. If numbers of large koi it is not sufficient by itself even in larger size. But can work well as an addition to existing system. I was skeptical at first but after watching numerous videos tried using one to run along with existing filters. I have one that has been running on pond with 8 koi. Plants in it had crazy growth. Still filtering.

Yes I have a 2 year old. Much safer.

Thanks

Yes the plastic can be nasty for wildlife. I tried to pick as much up as possible. Thanks for advice.

Thanks for watching

I'll look up that plant not heard of it before. Thanks.

The only thing I do is heat the pond as there are fancy goldfish and they don't like it getting too cold. Otherwise just the normal maintenance getting any dead leaves and plant matter out. I have a similar bigger pond with some koi and common goldfish. That's just left. I don't cover them or insulate them. I've not had issues with herons though.

@@alexisthisreal5488 thanks, I have fancy goldfish but they're indoors, I plan to keep common goldfish like reds and yellow etc in this one, and don't plan to heat or cover. Never seen herons in my area so hope I don't have that issue. I like the koi pond you've done too. Nice! Love all the plants.

Yes I agree mate. I think they are great for small ponds or as additions to koi ponds with existing filtration. Keeps that water nice and clear.

Thanks for the high praise.

They stay outside. The pond is heated in winter.

Install a piece of pipe to bottom of bog with right angle going into void area. At top above water level have a t piece to act a siphon. Here is a link to video explains it well. ua-cam.com/video/zvoOCq3gcTc/v-deo.htmlsi=SL86ssPk-y6y4bri. I have a shutoff valve to stop water going back in if I turn of pump for maintenance. This doesn't help with pond failure however. On the rare occasion pond pump fails I don't think its the end of the world if water drains back in. Done it loads of times when forgetting to use valve. Never got any spikes in ammonia or anything.

@@alexisthisreal5488 Thank you very much, will take a look..

Sorry I can't recall make. Was on the cheaper side. 4x4 cost around £60 I believe.

Glad I could help. I'm not sure if you already have a pond or this is your first pond. Once you build one and keep fish it can be addictive. A lot of people build a pond then want more fish which means bigger. I would try and make it as big as you can to start.

I have a hozelock bioforce revolution 6000 pressure filter. But this is just for mechanical filtration as it has a handle you can use to clean foam by rotating whilst diverting dirty water out side. Very easy. This pressure filter pushes water into bottom of wicks 100 litre water butt. Inside this is 60 litres of alfagrog. About 30 litres of k1 on top of that. Plus some foam on top. This then feeds back into pond. Also have a 100 litre whiskey barrel bog filter which is on a 900 litre an hour. So bit slower moving. Plus the plants which help a lot. Especially canadian pondweed.

Glad you appreciate it. Only been doing it since spring. Hard slog trying to get views. If you have any ideas on a topic you might like? Not so sure what people like to watch really.

I do like the pearlscale. Right fat buggers. Woddle along in the water.

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. The extra volume will make all the difference. Do you heat yours in sinter or they do fine without?

@@alexisthisreal5488no I don’t heat it , I’m in the south east , there not a great fan of it but they been ok for the last 3 years

Canadian pond weed. Oxygenator but grows like mad. You have to keep trimming I back. Keeps water nice and clear though.

Cheers mate.

They have them in homebase. I think they are around £16.

Thanks for watching.

@@MrGroovyHouse-fe4cw cheers mate. Thanks for watching.

That pond is 800 gallon.

Good, hope it goes well.

Yes I'm not sure what I'm gonna put in there. I may put baby fancy goldfish in there to grow a little before adding them to larger pond. Little river fish would be cool.

@@alexisthisreal5488medaka maybe?

I know. Local shop I went to had them. Biggest I've seen as well.

Thanks

Thanks much appreciated
