Wrighty thanks mate I need to stock up on a few things and need some media as I made a twin shower this week and having a play round with my Skimmer the video will be on once I get it right 👍👌
Now your sieve filter is sorted could you run the outflow of your hoover straight into that and put it all through the main filter? just thought it may save you lugging the other bit around. If you had a long enough hose for the vac you could even leave it installed in your filter house and just connect the pipe to the outside of the shed :)
Brilliant video Terry the seive filter is working fantastic well done mate . Brilliant idea how to clean you river with the tights. Love the way you always designing things to make the system work better . Keep up the good work mate
Hi Terry, can I just say , everything you do works , I hope you never stop with the ideas I'm sure everyone else as well as me here in Australia wait with baited breath as to see what you come up with next. Keep that grey matter working mate.
Hi Patrick, Thank you so much for your kind comments. It's really appreciated. Not sure what I can think of next, but I do constantly think about it. Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks again, Terry.
Terry I love the Bakki river I’m definitely going to build one in the future and the way you clean it is so easy! Also it looks like the sieve filter is doing a wonderful job as well! Keep up the great work and keep us posted!~Eric
Hi Eric, The Bakki river is doing too well lol. It's stopped the blanket weed which is brilliant, but it's stunting the growth of the pond plants as well. I might take one chamber out and see what happens. I'm well pleased with the Sieve filter. I might up-grade the mesh on my RDF to something finer now. Thanks mate, Terry.
Wrighty just to let you know I have not had string algae in over a year all I have is the algae that is real short and grows all over the bottom! Let me know how it goes with river!~Eric
Great job, like the basket idea over your lily pot. I'm having same problem, so guess what I'm making this afternoon! Keep the vids coming, regards, bill.
Great update Terry. A suggestion 😉 in your bakki river install an air stone in each storage box and turn the air off to it and then when you want to clean it, turn the air to the stones on and that will push all the muck and settlement to the surface and out, just remember to ask the wife for more tights. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the updates as always. Chris.
Thanks mate, will look into that thanks. It's more fun when I don't ask her lol. I love the look on her face when she see's one leg of the tights missing 🤣🤣😂😜 Terry.
Top video again mate does your friend have a website? If so possible could you put me s link after a few bits 👍and it’s unbelievable how much dirt come out the river 👍👌
Hi, I currently don't have a website but it's coming soon, you can find me at facebook.com/Bubbleaquaticscolne/ And I'd like to say I enjoy your content also, the shower filter looks great with the sticker also 👌 keep up the good work.
Hi James, thank you mate. He does have a website page but doesn't use it much. I think he uses Facebook more. His phone number is 07549679368 or you can email him robbiestafford@live.co.uk Tell him I sent you. Thanks mate. Terry.
That pond is looking beautiful Mr Wright :) I told you the summer was arriving this week didn't I ;) trouble is i hope it doesn't leave again next week :/ Keep smiling :)
Hi Barb, I get the Cloverleaf on eBay. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=plastic+welding+heat+gun&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xcloverleaf.TRS0&_nkw=cloverleaf+blanket+answer&_sacat=93632 Terry.
Hi Rick, Thanks mate. The Bakki shower will create both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as there's a lot of air mixed with the water in the shower. My moving bed deals with the aerobic bacteria which deals with ammonia and nitrite, I went for the river which is more for the anaerobic bacteria which deals with nitrates as there's no or very little air in the water. Terry.
Hi Simon, I was thinking just that the other day. I know there is plenty of Siporax in there for my pond size. I might try emptying one of the boxes. I also thought about using the Cloverleaf and killing that short algae off. That must be consuming nitrates as well. Good thought mate. Terry.
Hi James, It will grow on it's own but can take quite a while. It does help the filter to add new bacteria and does get a new system up and running quicker. I do add it throughout the summer. It's always good for your pond. Thanks, Terry.
Hi. I have only had my koi pond for a couple so seasons now, this will be my third and you have been a wealth of knowledge mate. So thank you. However I have to say after watching this latest video I am a little disappointed in your taste in football teams. You're on the wrong side of The Trent 😉🐑 Have a good weekend pal.
Hi Craig, lol. I have to be honest mate. I don't really follow football. My mate bought me the tee-shirt for my birthday in an attempt to get me supporting his team. My wife is very interested, but follows Chelsea lol. Thanks mate, Terry.
@@Wrighty thanks, just about to set one up and no idea how much is suitable for what. Got 50ltr will start with that and see how I go. Mine aren't that big and not many so hopefully be ok.
Hi Dan, 50 ltr will be plenty mate. Once it's mature it would do about 20 average size koi. It actually goes on the amount of food fed per day per ltr of K1. I have a video tip for new media: ua-cam.com/video/PerFdq4w4to/v-deo.html it might help mate, Terry.
It will circulate in the tub better if it's pre soaked mate. It will take a while to mature, usually around 3 months. You can speed this up by adding liquid bacteria to the filter to kick start the media. Terry.

Your pond is beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Janie, thank you. Very much appreciated. Have you seen my latest video: ua-cam.com/video/ARWZgr5AGQw/v-deo.html thanks again, Terry.
I use a small air compressor for all filter cleaning.a few short blasts does wonders
Sounds a good idea, but with the bakki river I'm trying to keep air out of the filter. Thanks, Terry
Terry I love the Bakki river I’m definitely going to build one in the future and the way you clean it is so easy! Also it looks like the sieve filter is doing a wonderful job as well! Keep up the great work and keep us posted!~Eric

Hi Bill, thank you. I've had it on 2 days now and it seems to be working. Good luck with the build mate. Terry.
Koi looking awesome mate.
Thanks Tom, it's just the weather at the moment. The pond temp is up and down like a yoyo. Terry.

Hi Geoffrey, thank you. Your kind comments are very much appreciated. Terry.
Thanks for the video enjoyed your friend G-man

Lovely video Terry, lots of very helpful information for the pond I am going to do. Thanks so much
Hi Sanjaya, Thank you and glad to help. Good luck with the build. Terry.
Thanks for the very informative videos, I love the effort you put into them. The fish look amazing too👌
Thank you and your very welcome. Glad you enjoy them. Terry.
Where do u get the cloverleaf product that was used to get rid of algae
Hi Barb, I get the Cloverleaf on eBay. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=plastic+welding+heat+gun&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xcloverleaf.TRS0&_nkw=cloverleaf+blanket+answer&_sacat=93632
Terry.
Awesome video as always Terry, it's nice having some great weather at last 👍 does a bakki shower not work the same as a bakki river for nitrate?? 🤔
Hi Rick, Thanks mate. The Bakki shower will create both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as there's a lot of air mixed with the water in the shower. My moving bed deals with the aerobic bacteria which deals with ammonia and nitrite, I went for the river which is more for the anaerobic bacteria which deals with nitrates as there's no or very little air in the water. Terry.
I wonder if you removed one of the tubs for the bakki river it would give you a little bit of nitrates for the plants?? 🤔
Hi Simon, I was thinking just that the other day. I know there is plenty of Siporax in there for my pond size. I might try emptying one of the boxes. I also thought about using the Cloverleaf and killing that short algae off. That must be consuming nitrates as well. Good thought mate. Terry.
Terry, do you add beneficial bacteria or does it just grow on it's own
Hi James, It will grow on it's own but can take quite a while. It does help the filter to add new bacteria and does get a new system up and running quicker. I do add it throughout the summer. It's always good for your pond. Thanks, Terry.
Hi. I have only had my koi pond for a couple so seasons now, this will be my third and you have been a wealth of knowledge mate. So thank you.

Ha ha.

Keep up the excellent work mate.
Hi Terry, how much k1 do you have in your moving bed do you think?
Hi Dan, I'm running about 100 ltr. My pond is heavily stocked so I need it mate. Terry.
@@Wrighty thanks, just about to set one up and no idea how much is suitable for what. Got 50ltr will start with that and see how I go. Mine aren't that big and not many so hopefully be ok.
Hi Dan, 50 ltr will be plenty mate. Once it's mature it would do about 20 average size koi. It actually goes on the amount of food fed per day per ltr of K1. I have a video tip for new media: ua-cam.com/video/PerFdq4w4to/v-deo.html it might help mate, Terry.
@@Wrighty thanks, just watched it, very useful tips. Not sure how I missed that one, i thought I had watched all your vids.
It will circulate in the tub better if it's pre soaked mate. It will take a while to mature, usually around 3 months. You can speed this up by adding liquid bacteria to the filter to kick start the media. Terry.
It is supposed to be dirty :)
I know mate, but not that dirty the water won't flow through the media lol. Thanks, Terry.
