    Hi Jamie looking good mate, with the bricks could you just place the last one on the side of the 7th so your only losing half a brick that way you will just tie the bricks in when cementing. 😊

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  Рік тому +1

      Thanks bud that would mean I'd need a half a brick on the other side and being a complete amateur when it comes to brick work I'd rather not start cutting them if I can help it 🤣

    Looking good mate! Just a thought, have you considered sticking an air stone disc on top of the bottom drain lid? I did for the bottom drain on my grow on tank and it definitely helps the waste migrate to the drain if I give it a blast of air. 👍🏻

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  Рік тому +1

      There is on my main pond but i dont want one on this pond as the bottom drain will only be about a foot away from the window but the floor will be screeded to the drain anyway 😊👍🏻

    Nice update , just thinking , it would mean cutting bricks as you go up but could you go 7 and 3/4 brick or 7 and 1/2 brick instead of losingg a full brick ?

    Hi Jamie, the gate valve replacement bit of much interest as I have one that leaks and has been solvent welded to the waste outlet of easy pod. So I buy a full replacement I can remove the faulty (leaving the piece that’s stuck in place) but fix the new valve back in place? Hope that makes sense

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  Рік тому

      Yes bud 👍 each piece can be replaced separately so you can just replace the bit you need to 👍

    Hi, Thanks for sharing. what type of pipe did you use? Was it pressure pipe? I’m making my bog filter with a bottom drain. I’m confused the type of pipe I require.

    • @keepingitkoi
      @keepingitkoi  4 місяці тому +1

      No this was just standard solvent weld black waste pressure pipe isn't really needed but it's each to there own I did use it on my main pond but then learnt alot more and decided it wasn't necessary on this one so saved myself a few quid 😉
