Pondguru - Розваги
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for putting them together. I've only been to the U.K. twice. Both visits were business trips to Telford. Cheers from America.
No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Wonderful video. I always wanted to go. Those pond pumps look fantastic - so does the pebble fabric.
Very interesting, the tank with all the tetra in looked really nice, I used to keep mainly cyclids, particularly geophagus duapari, they are a lovely fish, great vid
Some of the Geophagus get really pearly colours on them - really nice fish.
Thanks for bringing us along with you to the show !! Great job with the video, full to the brim with interesting and informative advice and information on the new technology for ponds
Hopefully in the early Spring I will be getting a visitor up here who has made an amazing filter so look out for that video, I'm particularly excited about it but there is no point making that video just yet.
Another well informative presentation Richard 👍👍
No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Merry Christmas Richard,
We wish a very happy New Year for you and all the family, thanks for great videos during the year and showing us your part of the world, regards from Kiwi hunters, Tony.
Hope you guys have a good new year too and keep pumping the great videos out.
Great video, that's awesome all the gadgets available, one day I'd like to have a pond. I loved the biohome table, nicely set up.
Ponds are great and early next year I'll be trying to make a filter for mine. That will be some task....
Was a great show. Looking forward to next years :D Will soon be pond season again at work so this was good to start brushing up on info again!
I am hoping to get a guy up here in early Spring who has made a very good pond filter system with a drum, moving bed and shower all integrated into a small filter. It looks incredible and should deliver a full cycle from a single filter so look out for that video.
Awesome video. Thanks. And my shower filter has seasoned in nicely. I love it. Actually bought three more. Thanks.
Groovy.
Proper filtration = happy fish.
I like your style of explaining complex things in a very simple manner.....though it is a video on pond lovers and I am a new aquarium lover/fish keeper still I am watching this...
No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Pondguru i have a request if you create similar video on Aquarium products such canister filters, filter media, medicine etc including the Chinese products as well. Here in India Chinese products are ruling due to cost effectiveness. Now a days there are more fish keepers are coming up.
It will probably get top the point where I test different products but they will be filtration related.
Pondguru Thanks for your reply....is there any separate video on that Aquarium filter products which I can refer and get some knowledge on the various products?
Great video, thanks
Thanks for the video dude and Merry Christmas!
Same to you and best wishes for 2018
I Always enjoy your watching your video's. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks
Merry christmas and a happy new year ton you too.
When in doubt - add wi-fi or Bluetooth and someone like me will buy it! Have a good Christmas Richard!
I enjoyed That! Looking forward to the new year and using the biohome shower filter media in my new Diy shower filter . Merry Christmas 👍🎅
Groovy - sounds good to me. There was 12kg in those bags I sent so it should be good for your pond.
Thanks for sharing this video. Merry Christmas!
No worries and I hope you have a good new year.
You as well..
I wish i had gone to the show now :) i was thinking of going , must go next year , very interesting film
No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
It was a good show but there was nothing which really excited me as far as innovation goes - seems like the manufacturers just added LED lights and Wi-Fi to their products to get people buzzed but that stuff is just unnecessary. none of them were addressing the proper support of bacteria or had understanding of a full cycle which was very disappointing. They are happy to sell products which only get half a job done.
Merry Christmas.
Same to you and best wishes for 2018
Awesome, have a fantastic christmas buddy :)
Hope you had a good one and best wishes for 2018
Hi Mr Guru,
Hope all is well, we were getting worried about ya, disappearing like that 😉.
Great vid but it needs some trout rising in the background lol.
Have a great Christmas 👍
Hope you had a good christmas and best wishes for 2018 - I've been killed with work recently and it has been difficult to get videos made but I will be addressing that problem in 2018
looks interesting its good you work with the things you love.
iv been thinking of getting into fish keeping,
is their any british tiddler species that would be easy to keep?
at first i wanted a perch but they can get big. i was thinking minnows or gudgeon but minnows really like a bit of flow.
Getting decent flow is easy with a good sized canister filter and extra flow could be added with a pump which sticks to the inside of the tank if necessary. Natives do need very clean water but as long as water is well treated by a filter they will be fine - just set the base of the tank out with plenty of hiding places like they would have in nature.
Sticklebacks, minnows, bullhead and stone loaches would probably be the best for an aquarium. Depending on the size of the tank gudgeon could work too but they can get 6"+. I have some monster gudgeon in my pond.
Wow! Wildlife pond food! Will get some of that as well :-))
nicee
Great video Richard I would keep my filtration simple stay away from wi fi. Just a quick question my bio home media in my fx 6 is now 4 years old is there a need to replace it also happy holidays to you
No it should last for many years - assuming that the filter is big enough and plenty of media is used for the stocking scenario the nitrates should be low. When you notice them go up then the media could be clogged (assuming no chemical treatments have killed off bacteria) and that would be the time to replace or bake in a hot oven for 45-60 mins to sterilise it and give it a few more years of life - at that point it would need to cycle again.
I agree, a pond without a kingfisher, is no pond I would enjoy
Cool I must get some of
your ebay shop.
A paradise for a fid like me :-)
nice! lots of stuff im not sure i can get over here in the states ill have to look a few of these company's up, i would love to switch my fish room over to a predominantly insect/invert based food.
That is the way it is going over here due to the EU limiting fish products in food but insect / invert based foods have to be better for the fish as that would be their natural diet.
I always debate another UV Sterilizer but my last one shocked me
lol
Ive just seen a video of a tank that was crystal clear, because he had 3 big canister filters running it. I would like to know if there is a jumbo filter out there, rather than buying multiple canister filters ?
As far as I know the largest ones are the 1200 XL from Eheim or the classic 1500 from Eheim - I would go for the 1200 XL as it has trays. From memory it will hold approx. 10kg of biohome ultimate.
You make me wish I still had my aquarium 😟
Nah, just think of all that work keeping it looking nice. That's time I don't have and why I have a pond instead, lol
Can you do a sump filter video ??
I'm currently building a studio so sump video(s) will be coming no worries.
Could those filters be used for indoor aquariums ?
I suppose so but if the tank was big enough to justify a pump fed pressure filter then a sump would probably be the way to go for indoor aquariums.
Like a kid in a sweet shop ;)
lol 2 great mind bro ;) lol just seen your comment now lol
What heater brands would you recommend for a 375 litre tank?
Eheim / Jager are probably the best but they will all do the job. Stay away from super-cheap ones.
Hi Richard. I'm due to have a new pond (5500lts) installed shortly which will be stocked with goldfish/orfe. I am being advised to use a Hozelock Bioforce Revolution filter, which I think is the pressure washer you show in this video. Having watched other videos you have made I am concerned that the water is pumped through the bio media prior to passing through the foams and therefore presumably will be at risk of blocking the bio media. Should I be concerned about this ? I quite fancy using a Cloverleaf CL1 - would that be a better option ?
Those are two totally different filters there and the Cloverleaf one will allow you to set everything up properly for maximum results. Pressure filters are fine for keeping the water clear but won't necessarily keep it healthy. A pressure filter is too dirty inside to have good media in but the Cloverleaf could be filled with proper media toward the latter stages to be extremely effective. It takes up more space than the Hozelock but is a proper filter, not just a mechanical filter. If you're having a well planted pond then the Hozelock will be fine but for maximum water quality then the Cloverleaf will be way better.
Many thanks - the Cloverleaf it is then. I see that the CL1 comes with alfagrog as the final media, did I ought to replace that with pumice or am I being too picky maybe ? Either way please keep the videos coming , they are a fantastic resource and one of the few genuine ways amateurs like myself can gain that essential knowledge.
Will you be quarry any peat balls again this winter?
Unfortunately the quarry I was getting peat from has closed and there is no suitable peat available as far as I can find - if a new quarry opens up I will get more but up until then I am stuck.
I own Goldfish and what’s the bio media for Goldfish my friend ?
You need to have decent filtration and the best media is the biohome ultimate (I'm assuming that you have a canister filter) - my last video on filtration explains how to size a filter and set it up properly.
It's called 'Why your filter is too small and not cycled' and it is quite long but has lots of useful information in there.
BTW, how much are those small drum filters? Anything I saw in china is about 5000USD and they can process 20,000 liters/hour. That's like way too big for me. I need something like 3000L/H
Even the smaller ones are £1500 - £2000 but a guy who has made an innovative filter will be bringing it up to my place in early Spring. It incorporates a drum, moving bed and shower filter in a modular system.
I just got PP sheets. will try to weld one myself :) will let you know how it works
Sounds good to be and I'll be interested to hear how it works out. If you can't get the rotation and automatic cleaning / washing sorted it may be easier to make a sieve instead.
hi ,you have probably been asked this question a million times ,im looking for a indoor aquarium 33ich high including the lid and lighting ,50 inch lenth ,13 inch wide , , including stand ie housing sump for filters , pump ,etc , suitable to keep 3 or 4 small fresh water carp in it , looking for a set up that will almost look after its self , can you supply such a tank ready to set up or do you know where i can get one , thanks ,les
It would have to be custom made and there aren't many good places doing the whole package. However there is one a few miles from me who do a great job although you may have to wait a while for the delivery due to their workload: www.acaquatics.co.uk/
thanks for reply ,i have now gone for a smaller tank until i know what i am doing ,also orderd some of your bio media to try ,ATB les
That sounds like a good plan as a larger custom tank can be very expensive to manufacture. Best of luck with that.
Hello @Pondguru! :) Ricard from Sweden here. I am curious about the filter showing in 13:38. Is it a profit clear sytem, or what do you say? Where do I find it? Ocean? I have aquatic monitor lizards and need filters that can manage a lot of modge! :D
It is a 'Proficlear' filter from Oase (German company) and is very expensive but its self cleaning and very well made. Problem is that is gives no consideration to the last part of the cycle so you end up with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite but very high nitrates. If the outlet was then passed into a decent sized shower filter using good media that would help reduce nitrates.
Pondguru Hi and thank you for taking the time to answer in this holiday season. :) Is it possible to use a chamber from Oase and this model, to create this trickle filter? Or is it better to “think big” and use larger plastic boxes? I have one final question and also want to thank you for all time spent on recording, editing and share your knowledge. It helps and inspires! If you have a wife that think it is to much, send a warm hug from Sweden! Now my question. Do you have wholesale or retailer of biohome media outside uk or am I buying from you directly?
Generally a filter like the proficlear would be modular but it would only include the drum, moving bed modules and a pump chamber and it would be gravity fed. From there you would pump water to a shower filter which would complete the cycle.
Yes, as far as I know we do now have a supplier in Sweden and there is a link at the top of every page on the FilterPro website to other suppliers (flags at top of page): www.zoosmart.se/sv/
It may work out cheaper to buy from your own country but if not then I send all over the world no problem.
Pondguru Thanx!
Boring !!! Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year .
Hope you had a good christmas and all the best for 2018
