    Another great video, always interesting and really impressed with what you are doing with your grow on…..it’s going to be sick👍. Pond is looking superb and really glad you’ve cracked the health issues with your Fish. Massive thank you for the shout out, much appreciated. Looking forward to the next update 👍🐟🈲😊

    Hi Lee, great entertaining vid as usual! I think the percentage on your autofeeder = how much you want the feeder to increase feed by, if you're using it to grow on. Set it to 0 and it will feed the same amount consistently. The Fd setting I think then is for the amount of feed, I guess measured in amount of time it's on for. That's a garden (orb) spider btw, wolf spiders are more like your house spider and can shift 🕷️ 😳

    • @leehadfield6881

      Thanks Jon mate, I’ll set the feeder later on then!!
      Orb spider well you learn something new every day 🕷

    I wouldn't bother with a skimmer if the pond is enclosed. Then you can max out your water level 😉

  • @markanthony6778
    @markanthony6778 3 роки тому +1

    Profi feeder set up.
    P is the percentage to increase the feed by each day. If you're growing on the feed amount can increase automatically as the fish grow. I leave mine on zero
    Lee, found this on the Interweb, thought I would share as I'm guessing you don't want to increase your feeds on a daily basis 👍

    Is there not a hinged weir with a float for those type skimmers?

      www.cotswoldkoi.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/skimmer-guard.jpg I put one of these skimmer guards on mine to stop the larger fish chasing food in after I found one inside the skimmer basket, not sure what you can do to stop fry getting sucked in though mucker?

    F sets how many feeds you want a day, and the Fd sets the Total amount of feed time. So if was set at 1:30 and you set the F to 6, you will get 6 feeds at 15 seconds each (6 x 15sec = 1.30). The % sets how much you want feeds to increase by each day, so if you're growing on the feed amount will increase automatically as the fish grow.

  • @topklassphotography

    found this in the manual
    Fd -Set the total feeding time per dayFor adjusting the total feedingtime per day, press the “Set” button until the display shows “Fd”. Then hold the button for 3 seconds until the display flashes. Now you can adjust the required minutes by repeatedly pressing the “Set” button and the minutes with “+” and “-“. To store thesetting press and hold the “Set” button again for 3 seconds.Example: The setting “10:12” means that the total feeding time is 10 minutes and 12 seconds at one day

    Not too sure on the flexi pipe but I know a lot people say you shouldn't use rubber fittings in concrete. Could you not dig a diagonal channel for pvc pipe and use 45s instead of 90s

    • @leehadfield6881
      @leehadfield6881  3 роки тому +1

      I did try the diagonal route as you can see I stated the channel but would have been to high at the end off the pond so would have had to lift the hight off the slab!!

    • @CC-wr2yo
      @CC-wr2yo 3 роки тому +2

      @@leehadfield6881 could you channel down the middle and come under the wall and then pop up the otherside of the wall maybe? Would be a nice straight run then and no need for rubber or flexi pipe. More work I know but you love it anyway haha

    Why not run the pipe through the drain channel you have before doing floor

    • @leehadfield6881
      @leehadfield6881  3 роки тому

      Don’t want to block the drain mate, all the water that comes off the roof off the house garage and from the koi pond go through it! 🤪
