Hi Rich, congratulations on loosing the weight, it's not easy but every kg you loose means it's a kg less you have to life when you get up. Keep up the good work. Very impressed with the filter on the pond, if your are only running one would the other one be good for the preditory pond inside? Tony from Rural Western Australia 🇦🇺🦘
Judge: "I sentence you to one week of community service. You'll be working at Ohio Fish Rescue. There'll probably be a fair bit of physical labor." Man (thinking): "Well, the place sounds interesting, and since the air's getting cooler, the work shouldn't be too bad." Bigrich: "Okay, I need you to wade into that pond, grab that 7-foot sturgeon, and wrestle him over this way into the monster pond." Man (thinking): "I am never drinking another drop of alcohol."
@@thisspaceforrent5737 or I could sit on the patio drinking my beer watching the 7 foot sturgeon swimming peacefully in the outdoor pond in the colder waters they prefer 👌
That pond is looking amazing. The filter's maker needs to clip this for their advertising. And congrats on losing 30! About time I got around to doing the same (though family probably won't let me get started until the new year!).
The pound is crystal clear ! Crazy ! That filter is a monster ! Now we can see the rocks really dirty all around it, that is the only down side, but is so much better now, would be way better if someone jumped in there and cleaned those rocks.
It’s not my rescue, but from an outsider looking in, I’d probably scratch the dogbone idea.. it will take away from the beauty of the current pool pond… will look cluttered and out of place.. would be the equivalent of putting it in the outside koi pond…
Good morning Bigrich. I know myself, I'm so excited to have all the tanks done. The back pond looks great? You have a wonderful day Bigrich. Play safe have fun. 😊😊😊
The back pond looks brilliant nice and clear...... I know it's extra expense but Would be a good idea to get some of that universal rock in a roll And cover all the tanks in the pool room including the bottom stands...... Like the stuff they are using in the legacy.... Trimming all the outsides of the tanks and the bottoms would look brilliant...
as a welder if he put jb on it then he a verosity holes in welds n failed pressure test, if he pressure tested it at all. and even if u do get holes u grind the weld out n reweld. hope that dont waste ur time n aggravation. weld a air fitting on end n pressure test it, or anywhere out of the way. itl save u so much aggrivation n time lol progress is looking good!
Excellent video update big rich good to get a glimpse of reaper and his new home it looks very nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ down 30 lbs that’s great news I thought you looked a little slimmer a few episodes back , keep the great work up.
I hardly ever comment but I’ve been watching the channel for about 5 years consistently, an ofr enthusiast if I say so myself, but I do agree with all the people commenting about the dog one idea not being a good one, I think it’d take away the look of the pond and make it seem crowded , but it’s your rescue , I’ll still be here watching regardless
This is the Best Way! Just find a local. It shouldn't be hard at all. You can even get really Cool material, might add your logo and a heart with a koi for Lady T! 🌎✌💖
that stand for the dogbone does not look heavy enough? it's what 400 gallons?? Can't wait to see the new tanks and sump installed, if i had cash i'd fly down and give you a hand!
Pond looks good, i dont even run filtration in these cold months and mine is clear too. Pretty common in winter. Besides seeing if they freeze up and burst, The real test will be in July and August with those filters.
It would be murder to stop feeding her , stop changing her, stop taking care of her, and she's not dependent on any machine that i can pull the plug on, so are you serious
Nice losing those pounds 👏💪 keep that up 👍 your life will be healthier I lost over 100kgs + myself and feel allot better and less back problems 😎 don’t know what that is in pounds tho 🫣 my scale couldn’t pass 200kgs tho 🫣
That pond is clearer than my life.
Pond is looking incredible! Can only imagine how it will look in the summer when the sun beams shine through the water ❤
Wow the pond looks amazing !!!!
I love how you enjoy your fish and pond.
What are you going to do with the fish/turtle currently 14:48 in the old sump while you're draining it and setting up/filling the new sump?
Awesome clarity I don't think I have ever seen your pond this clear
Big Rich we don’t get a full body shot of you all that often, so it’s hard for us to notice the weight loss. Great job on the weight loss keep it up!
My pond cleared up too. The cold and less daylight helps
Congrats on the weight loss Rich
The pond looks amazingly clear!!! Awesome!!!😊
congrats on losing your weight keep going :) i hope you have a great Christmas with your family:)

Ty. Yes, we could use it on the pred pond.
Would you not add the sturgeons in the koi pond in the summer months to grow them out
They will grow huge
@ diamond back only grow 6-7 feet they would look nice in the pond

Yeah, the pond looks awesome. Thanks for filming it! And for sure, congrats on losing the weight- that's a great holiday gift to yourself!
Do you guys have to leach the tanks with the new paint so it dosent get into the system at all ?
No it's fish safe, but I'll do a spray down
Crazy what proper filtration can do
judging by your ouches - I imagine you are in the standard dress flip flops!! Merry Christmas Rich - you rock xxoo
Wow so clear
Pond Looks Great!
Wow the pond does look great! Hopefully it stays like that during the heat
So is the dog bone going to be in the monster pond or next to it?
Both on the edge and overhangin a bit

Can I please get the name of the filter that you used on the outside pond. Was trying to find the video where you guys got them from.
Its from the company - oase
@ohio-fish-rescue thank you and very awesome everything you guys do
Looking good Big Rich

Agree 100%
Good morning Bigrich.

Could you keep a Muskellunge in that pond?

That's clearest the pond has ever been. Hope it stays that way. Looks really good. By the time spring comes around OFR will have some big changes.

Excellent video update big rich good to get a glimpse of reaper and his new home it looks very nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ down 30 lbs that’s great news I thought you looked a little slimmer a few episodes back , keep the great work up.
The pond looks amazing.
Are the turtles going to breathe with plastic overt the enclosure is that to keep in the heat?
Yes to keep in the heat. Air will still exchange

Put a small bucket seat from a vehicle on the bobcat
Wow 130 koi
Ritch, that Pound is as clear as your 58k gallon in door Pound. Beautiful Paddle fish.
Nice
Didn't know you were trying to loose weight. We don't see you that much in the videos. Good for you keep up the good work.
take bobcat seat off and take it to a shop that recovers seats ....i have done that on a few bike seats ,,much cheaper then buying new...
This is the Best Way! Just find a local. It shouldn't be hard at all. You can even get really Cool material, might add your logo and a heart with a koi for Lady T!

And that's with just one of these rube-goldberg super-filters😊
Imagine the sturgeon in the pond with it that clear!
Put the sturgeon in there he would love it in the back pond
Mat🏴
Looks good,

1" tube steel quarter inch thick.
650 gallons distributed. Less than 118lbs per square ft. It'll hold no problem
The dog bone in the pool be like a king sized “Baby Ruth” floating around in there. But hay…. You be you. 🎉🎉🎉

A dogbone island in the pool? You can name it an own address 😂, like Fish meadows, Ohio
Hell just snag a old seat cushion and take it in when ur done working lol now padded seat in bobcat
Well done losing the weight Rich! Good job 😊 BTW I’m watching from Australia 😊
Thanks mate! I appreciate you watching from so far away 😊
@ my pleasure, I love you guys I only wish I could come and visit 😊
I understand the odd sock thing. But odd shoes??
😃🤘
Does that guy have two different shoes on?
Like some soccer players, they have different shoes on their dominant leg 😃
@zootallures6470 😚
I did notice you slimming down! I was concerned it could be stress related, so i shut my PIE HOLE! Paddle Fish get Huge!
I LOVE the DOG BONE IDEA!
Rich, what are you doing to lose weight?
Just eating.protien. / meat, no carbs of st least as little carbs as possible
tiny rich soon to be lol - what are you doing for the weight loss?!
🙂❤
The pond clarity is likely due to the weather being colder
🥳😎🤓🤩😅👋🤟👍🏻✅
congratulations losing 30 pounds.
That is a great job losing 30lbs good for you
Rich you had better diagonal bracing or it WILL collapse.
Should have some kind of cave for the koi to hide they look so sad
There is a cave in there for them
🤣😂
Whoever counting the koi we need a update 😂😂😂
What no Skyler visit!! lol
I been watching for years am I banned or something I can't post . If so that isn't right for my last comment

Why is he wearing 1 beluga and 1 zebra unauthorized yeezy
Lol i dont know,i dont ask questions :)
On the dog bone stand.
Sorry
Why are you keeping Tracy trapped there. Let her soul rest man
What's that supposed to mean? She's still alive Rich is taking care of her.
It would be murder to stop feeding her , stop changing her, stop taking care of her, and she's not dependent on any machine that i can pull the plug on, so are you serious
Sorry thought she was on vent still
