That was a nice Sunday to wake up to. Breakfast with Martyn 😊
Nice project. You won't be disappointed with Mountain tree products. Been using them for 2 years now, absolutely love everything they do.
Lau its nice stuff but a little hard to get it hear in the UK. I will do it justice with a lovey box made for it that forces the water to pass over it getting the best out of it. Happy ponding
@@boxtriker the new rep is Absolute Koi. 😊
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection Will pop that in in the next video its going to take me 2 maybe 3 more videos to get this thing made and in and fitted this came by way of Germany from China think they lost two or three box's in the post it took 10 months to get a box to me 🙄🙄
@@boxtriker yeah it's been hard on the shipping side of things.
Great to see you again Martin brilliant idea with the mountain tree media happy ponding season spring is coming stay safe 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏
Hope you have had a good start to the new year Carol and a happy ponding
Great update👍😊. Really interesting filter concept for the mountain tree media, looking forward to seeing how that turns out👍😊. Stay safe🐟😊🈲👍
I turn my pond over alot slower than most people about 6000L a hour so wanting to get every bit of water i can to go over this new media. have a good week mate
going to look good that mate. also thanks for providing my mrs with some gifts for me for xmas. 👍
Nice to know you like them have a good year
Vision Plastics Ltd, Used these guys when I built my (Terry's) RDF
Thanks for that Ricky would you believe i just came across them yesterday and have a order on its way from them. I'm building a second box right now but will be doing a build on a bigger better type of piss filter like i built last year over the summer when i see how the mk1 works out plus i mite build a drum who knows thanks for the tip and happy ponding have a good week
@@boxtriker Keep up the good work and I can't recommend Terry's RDF enough. It's guys like you and Terry that keep us diy-er's busy 👍👍👍
Thanks for that Ricky
Nice one Martyn looks like a great project 👍
Its coming along well will update the build in the next video
Hi Martyn that Moss on your Piss filter is looking good
Its growing well even over the winter it should go nuts when i start feeding in the summer
Very interesting Martyn. I bought a plastic welder some time ago but haven't used it yet. The PP is expensive and buying it just to practice seems a bit extravagant. If anyone has some scrap they don't want give me a shout and we can maybe do a deal. Your next video will be good as well. I like watching filter builds.
Like wise with the welder mate i have had it for some time but only playing with it in that time and on white plastic so the welds look burnt as thats even harder the black is more forgiving so we will see what happens will start welding it up this weekend. video on it in a week or two. happy ponding
Just subscribed Martyn, looking forward to seeing the filter build. Cheers
Welcome Brun will be a video in a week or two on the rest of the filter build then a video a week as we move into the summer. Happy ponding
Cheers Martin 👍
Have a good week thanks for watching
Hi Martyn great delivery to get that is supposed to be real good media , your lucky the school have some good tools that you can use , I have never plastic welded but I have seen some of my guys in work do plastic repairs on bumper or grille brackets it’s one of those jobs that looks easier than it is .
All the best 👍🏼👍🏼
I think its a build your skill with the plastic welding the more you do the better it gets we will see 👍
Definitely interesting build again mate look forward to the next upload 👍
Im over filterd on the pond now but you can never go to far so this will make a nice add to it for anyones system thanks for watching
It's not Friday what's going on 😬
Good moss in the filter, doing its job. Kind of them to send those filter cartridges, look forward to the finished build
Took them 10 months from when they first emailed me to get them to me but worth the wait
Happy new year mate
My moss is still growing on my decommissioned bakki shower at the back of the shed with only rain water 🤣
I love how you have the Hole's at the bottom lining up with the media awesome mate 👌
Looking for max flow over this stuff mate as i run such a slow water turnover summer time i want all the water there is to have no choice but to go through it and over it its nice stuff and real nice of them to post it to me for free just have to put a plug or two in to a video they said. and i would have dun that anyway
@@boxtriker yeah mate mines just arrived in England I think absolute koi are the UK supplier now .
I was thinking of putting it in my last barrel on the new fry tank filter with an air stone at the bottom 🤔
You want as much water flow as you can get round it mate so if its not in full flow then air round it is the way to go
@@boxtriker brilliant mate thanks 👌👍
Nice one Martyn, hope you are well and had a chilling time over the new year. I have had computer problems but now back up and running. All the very best Dave.
Never nice to have computer problems its like a mad house hear when it happens catch you soon
@@boxtriker hopefully sorted now, just uploading now.👍
Nice to see you back lets hope we are going to have a good year.
We can but hope Alan think we are going to have a real cold snap yet. Have a good week
@@boxtriker Well I need you here.... got 3 floors of old laminate to take up and replace also 3 doors to sander and paint and cut down and all the walls to take the paper off and re paper. A nightmare as the only thing I like working on is the pond.
Happy new year to you and the gaffer Martyn can't wait to see the next video on this build 👌👍
It will be a ongoing build on the filter so keep an eye out in a week or two
😗😗
Looks good probably more filtration than you need ! But I suppose you're fish are always growing and will benefit from it later 👍
Ovlier Im over filterd on the pond now but you can never go to far so this will make a nice add to it for anyones system thanks for watching

Nice update martyn , what a handy place to work 😉would like to know your opinion on the lotus media once it’s been running a while , I’ve got csm media in 2 trays of the shower and Alfragrog in the bottom was looking to swap out the grog so may go mountain tree if it’s any good 👍 👍😀😀
There will be two or more videos on this stuff have a good week
Well impressed with how the moss is developing Martyn looking really good. Good luck with the new filter build👍Happy New Year
And to you Paul that moss will really take off as we move in to spring thanks for watching
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching have a good ponding new year
Happy New year Martyn, look forward to your thoughts on the media after watching James and his opinion. Not sure how much I would need for mine. Stay safe mate
Watch this space Steve 15 looks like a small number of the things but they have one hell of a surface area on them being porous. looks like the best use for them is submerged as well. Its a good add to my filters hear and you know what they say you cant over filter
Hi Martyn, happy new year, the new media looks really interesting, are you going to aerate the new mountain tree media, I’ve read some people do. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on both aerated and not! Thanks look forward to the next video
Have choice on that i will be going no air but there will be room for a air ring round them so its a test it and see sort of thing Richard
Cracking video martyn bruva can't wait to see you put the mountain tree media put to the test with a new filter piss filter is looking ace's bruva 👌👍👍👍
Oh and happy new year to you and the missus bruva 🎉🎉🎉
been trying to catch up on stuff on youtube mate but the laser cutting takes up my spare time weekends now and a hour or two after work each day i don't get time to sit down 5 Am most mornings I'm drawing stuff to cut on it. You should look at getting a small md 40w cutter for your modelling the baby one will cut 12 inch's by 8 inch's and can be had for around the £300 mark it loves cutting that foam board try Vevor as a seller they are good people to deal with and its little money for what you get. link hear that might show or might not. vevor.co.uk/products/40w-co2-usb-laser-engraving-cutting-machine-engraver-cutter-wood-working-crafts?gclid=CjwKCAiArOqOBhBmEiwAsgeLmaIQcIqz8wm6k3kteGw37PoabJrjM99WyIIn3MugLqTX_3RCl2CVkhoCZ-kQAvD_BwE
@@boxtriker thanks very much Martyn bruva I like the idea of that will take a look 💯👍👍👍
Have been trying to get hold of you about a wooden plaque mate 👍👍👍
It's an unusual filter medium. How do you merge it into the filtration tank?
More to come in the second video next week keep a eye out for it. Next one has a how it works and the new filter
