Congratulations to the winner 🥇 I think you done a great job and I hope 🤞 it does what you speciations 😁 I managed last year to keep the water 💦 4 degrees at the coldest days And I hope this year I do it better 😁🤞🤞
Just come across this looks great for winter The aquarium heater is a good idea I used one on my sleeper pond with a pollycarb roof last year and didn’t go below 18 so definitely works
To fix the problem You have keeping the heat overnight, is to use a double plastic covering to keep the heat covering at least a 1cm to 2cm in apart. That will insulate, and keep the heat And the cold separate . tahts what i did and it works perfect
Running something similar myself, it's running on my grow on vat and the only issue is that the heaters don't work when turned down to low. They have a preset lowest temp that they run from and can't work below. So I would say you will need to check the running temps of whatever heater you are looking at first. Perfect for my grow on,but not so much for the main pond. Have to use my inline heater till I can afford the air source heater. How this helps some. Also, built a pergola over my own main pond and found it easier to cover . Had gone the frame setup like yourself previously,the pergola takes most of the work involved out and just put the frames in place for winter with the Flexi window film already on them. Great to see I'm not the only one thinking outside the box on ways to keep them over winter in the best health possible. Really enjoyed your video 👍
@@TerryOConnell-u8j Great minds think alike! 😅 Thanks for the kind words! I tried the heater just now and it seems to work in 14c water. Plugging it into the external thermostat means I can have it set down really low. Hopefully it will be ok 🤞
@@ipswichkoi it should hopefully be available online early December! If you want it sooner email me at koyboyuk@hotmail.com and I can give you details of the supplier
@@nippinkoi8924 I’ve had a chat with a few people who claim that 500w works if you’re just trying to keep the water anywhere from 6 to 9°, but we shall see. But you’re right, I will probably end up having to get something more powerful. 😅
It must be really nice inside there. Looks beautiful and peaceful.

There are many people who do that, but you are the only one I have seen who does it clearly
Well built Dean 👏
