Craig and I went to help a fellow pond keeper put the glass in his new pond build. This was unfortunately the 2nd attempt for this chap as his first attempt resulted in one of the 3 layers smashing. 10/10 for Dave’s prep work which made the installation straightforward although the glass did weigh a ton. Big THANK YOU to "Mrs Dave" for all the coffee and Bacon sandwiches. Following that we popp...

After seeing Craigs Polytunnel on his grow-on I decided to see if I could make one work for me rather than putting all the grow-ons in the main pond over winter. As with all “flat pack” products it took me longer to put together than I envisaged but I think you’ll agree that the outcome was worth the effort (or at least I hope it will be). Felt it was time to test all the pond parameters as it ...

Watching Craig’s (Scrag68) video of his putting on the winter covers, spurred me into action. I can’t bring myself to go “Full Winter Cover Mode” but I’ve used a combination of my summer and winter covers to give some protection while still letting the koi have sunshine on the bright days. I also took the opportunity to do my full pre-winter clean which meant I rodded the bottom drain, changed ...

Some great giveaways Phil, especially the Five Towns Koi prizes 👍 Hope you're well.
It’s going to be epic😊👍
Hi Phil it is an advantage not having the sun on the pond I'm the same being north facing and shaded by tree's, no blanket weed to deal with, the disadvantage is mine doesn't get above 20c mid summer and know mid November temp's at 4c hoping for a short winter 🤞. Gwen 🧓
Definitely, I think we’re all hoping for a short winter🤞🤞🤞
Hi Mate, Great Video Thankyou. Can I ask, When you jet/rod the bottom drain is the pressure washer being fed from the mains? I'm obviously thinking about chlorine. Very impressed with your setup. Kind regards Chris
@@chrisware8585 Good evening, thank you for commenting 😊👍. Yes the jet washer is being fed from the mains so I use Sodiumthiosulphate to dechlorinate afterwards. I mix 130g of Sodium Thiosulphate with 1 litre of water and then dose the pond with 25ml of the solution per 1000 litres of water. Hope this helps😊👍
Cracking job, guys 👏 It's good to see the help is there when people need it.👍Yes,nice one 🫡🐟
Thanks 👍 appreciate the feedback😊👍
Well done guys top job that window looked heavy 💪👍
Very heavy😳. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊👍
160 kg not for the faint hearted
Looking cracking in there, somewhere to hide from the Mrs in winter 🥶
Looking good lads
Thank you buddy, much appreciated 😊👍
Enjoyed helping a fellow hobbyist out great team effort, one day we may even get the other Musketeer @adethekoikeeper out its been a long time, good to eventually see Marks Pond. Whats next 🤔👍🙏
Absolutely agree, Ade, if you read this….our road trips aren’t the same without you so hoping your back gets better soon🤞🤞🤞
Great work guys, and nice pond visit… 👍🏼
Cheers buddy👍. Great to be able to help a fellow pond keeper but knowing it was the 2nd attempt did add a little pressure😊
Great stuff phil. Was so nervous watching the moving of that second pane of glass but that pond looks great. Good to see you ( and Craig 😛 ) and you did a cracking job, luckily not literally though 👌💪👌
😂🤣😂👍 it was a bit nerve racking knowing that it was the 2nd attempt but thankfully it went in without incident😊👍
Can't thank you and Scrags enough can't wait to get the fish back in and you're more than welcome to pop back to do an update video once again THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
It was our pleasure Dave😊👍. You did a great job with the prep work so made it easier than expected👍. Big thank you to your wife for the tea and Bacon sandwiches and thank you to Matt for the extra muscle, can’t wait to see it all up and running 😊👍
Glad to have helped you out of a stressful situation, so glad you can now move forward and get your super pond finished, see you soon 👍🙏
@scrag68 once again can't thank you and Phil enough 👍
@davehiggsinson2973 a pleasure mate we enjoy doing it. 👍🙏
great job
Thank you, much appreciated 😊👍
Good idea with that poly tunnel Phil should help keep wind chill off the grow on
I though it was definitely worth a try and was cheap as chips so not a lot to loose😊👍
Nice one Phil, that should keep the chill off grow-on over winter… 👍🏼 Likewise, in between water changes, I use a long reach aquarium gravel cleaner, with the manual in-line hand pump, to syphon a load of 💩 out the system…. 😊👍🏼👍🏼
Quick and easy isn’t it👍. Think it’s got to help the O/all efficiency of the filter😊👍
@ Agreed Phil, it absolutely has got to help. Removing a whole load of 💩 from decaying in the filter, in between actual clean outs and water changes. 👍🏼
Nice work Phil 👍, hopefully that will do the job over winter better for you and the fish. Us outdoory people always hate this time of year dark and dismal the countdown for spring has already started with me hope we get an early one 🤞🤞. Gwen 🧓
Yes, hate the way the gloom and short daylight hours reduce what we can do outdoors, even the dog is wondering why his walks are being cut short😊
Great video Phil 👍 Good idea with the Poly Tunnel. Are you going to add a light or two above the EZ and/or the Easypod? Hope you're well.
Cheers Keith, yes am going to add a light or two as it’s too dark to do anything in the evening now🙁
Nice vid Phil. Re putting the smaller fish in the main pond. Not sure if you've done it before but the only problem I came across with that was that all the poop collected at the bottom of the net and really wasn't that easy to remove.
Yes, had that exact problem plus the big fish kept attacking the net for the food the little ones didn’t eat straight away. Think I’m going to try and keep the grow on going through the winter🤞
Looking good Phil, it is a horrible time of year pond and garden wise. Good to see your pond monitor is still giving accurate readings
Cheers buddy, I’m still trying to drag the season on as long as possible but must admit I’m struggling to do anything after work now that the evenings are drawing in😢
We've not filled the pond yet, leaving that till Feb/March. Starting the pergola and polycarbonate surround next week then plumbing can be done in the dry.
Polytunnel looks great and fits well over your grow on pond and filters. Hopefully it survives the winter. With all the snow we get here over during the winter one like that wouldn't make it past the first snowfall. 🌨 We get so much and it is often extremely wet and heavy. A year ago a heavy snowfall caused my aluminum and polycarb gazebo to completely collapse and it was a lot stronger than a polytunnel. Ended up having to scrap the entire thing.😢😢
We are quite lucky with very mild winters🤞🤞🤞 but will be happy if it lasts the winter😊👍
Looking good phil 👍 I did tell Craig I had greenhouse that make, had no problems for years till the snow flattered it.😢 Nice job my friend 👏🐟
I’ll be happy if mine gets me through this winter, after all it was only £50😊👍
Ps when you boil easy pod if you leave waste valve open when you turn pump back on it swills the bottom out lovely only need it open for around 10- 15 seconds job done
Excellent tip, I’ll definitely be trying that, thank you😊👍
Ive had s polytunnel over my pond for 2 yrs it worked a treat until poles rotted but they look much better now on the one you got 👍
I’ll be happy if mine last 2 years😊👍
Love the new polytunnel mate, I didn't know they made them that small. Wonder if they have one to fit my pond? Now look what you've started 🤣🤣Take care mate, Terry.
Cheers Terry👍. Cheap as chips on Amazon and they so a huge range of sizes so definitely worth a look😊👍
Jobs a good un there Phil . I used one of these poly tunnels 4 yrs ago when i spawned my showa , worked a treat 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good to know. I’m hopeful that it will last the winter🤞👍
Top job pair of you both tunnels looking ace
Definitely a cheap and cheerful solution😊👍
Just the job that Phil 👍🏼👌🏼
Cheers Pete, keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts the winter😊👍
TOP JOB PHIL, well done if i were in your position i would get some pipe or conduit clips and screw the frame to the decking. Belt and bracers. 👍👏🙏
Excellent suggestion, I’ll order some pipe clips while your suggestion is fresh in my mind😊👍
