Love the raw realness. Embrace the jank. Reminds me how half my projects go.
Cheers mate 👍
Best part is when your other half says shouldn't that bit be on that other bit , there's a pause for a moment and as you realise she's right , she says good job I came up 🤦 , great video 1st time I've been on your channel , love it 👍
😆 cheers mate and welcome to the channel 👍
Love that you’re just human and you don’t hide it👍🏻
Cheers mate I still can't believe I did it 3 times 😂😂
Cracking job on that mucker.... 👍🐟👌
Cheers mate 👍
Great Video
Love the bakki shower great job
Thanks mate 👍
Good on you mate for showing the good and the bad, It looks like you are just like me, if it wasn't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all ! good bit of kit and does the job, thats the main thing
Yeah same here mate with the luck , I can't believe I did it 3 times 😂😂
@@progressivepondkeeping was funny to watch mate gave us a giggle very entertaining
Cheers mate 😂👌
Cracking job Leon, every pond needs a shower in my opinion they are the best form of bio filtration..... Smashing job fella..
Awesome! I think you will notice a big difference in water quality.
Love the video, it's like watching a Harry Enfield sketch, and completely shows the type of things that happen to me, I noticed you even drilled through your shoes 🤣😂 Love it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate 👌👍
OMG you’re so funny man. You capped by day, but I don’t how I’m going to sleep giggling. 😂 🤞💤🤣.
🤣🤣😆👍
good job
Cheers mate 👍
Great job.. This is a def keeper for future reference....oh and we all make mistakes..
Best vid I’ve watched for ages. Pmsl at the errors on the build but well done for putting it out “warts and all”. Looking forward to seeing how the bakki performs 👍
Thanks graham 🤣 I was swearing 🤬🤬 off camera especially doing it twice 😩 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping I bet you was 😂 if it was me those boxes would have ended up as a pile of smashed plastic!
😂😂
Love it Leon. You always make me chuckle. Your like a West Midland Jack Dee. Serious but bloody funny.
🤣🤣 cheers Kev 👍
Great stuff and will do the job. I just did a DIY one using pumice. If it's not going to be seen it doesn't matter about appearance. Great video. 👍
Thanks mate yes I saw yours very nice mate 👌👍
Good build like the media you used
I have pumice and grog in mine seams to work well mind I must say
Cheers mate I love pumice really under used media and easy on the old wallet 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping totally agree mate 👍🏼👍🏼
I absolutely love your diy videos!!!
Thanks mate glad you enjoy 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping ive been watching your videos all morning 🥰
Hi Leon don't know about keeping koi you should be on th stage brilliant video nothing hidden I've just about stopped laughing but seriously you have given a lot of people ideas which can be adapted to suit any pond logo looks good and finishes it off happy ponding mate
Thanks David 🤣I could of cried when I made the same mistake again but thankfully the repair is holding well 👍
I do love a diy filter build, cracking job leon, even with the funny mistakes lol, I haven't done an outtakes video in a while so thanks for joining the club 😂
Cheers mate I should of added the bits I cut out I proper spat my dummy out chucked the drill down the garden 🤣🤣 thank God for ct1
@@progressivepondkeeping keep the footage (xmas special) 😬
Good thinking bat man 🤔
Great video mate 🤙
Thanks Lee 👍
Cheers pal
No probs 👍
Hi Leon, great vid, just subbed, we all make mistakes lol. DIY all the way, no koi tax. Regarding the bakki media, I've seen that on Amazon and was interested until it said that it needs partial replacing periodicaly ! ! ! It also said so on the sheet you showed included with it. Any idea why, is it soft/crumbly or does it disolve ? Keep the vids coming.
Hello mate thanks. Tbh I think they put that just so you will buy more I can't see it degrading tbh well hopefully not only time will tell 👍
It's quite solid stuff tbh
I use reusable fruit n veg bags on top of my matting to catch fines works great. Great build keep up the good work mate 👍
Thanks Wayne yes they are really useful kind of like a sieve really 👍
Good job on bakki shower made me laugh when made a mistake all dun that good luck with everything look forward to nx video mate 👍
Cheers mate 🤣 can't believe I made the same mistake twice 😩 that God for ct1 😂👍
This one is one of your best.. Love it..
That media looks perfect ..
Thanks Chris yes the media seems quite good tbh 👍
Nice job Leon, you've inspired me to try to make my own, what size pipe did you use for the spray bar?
Hello Simon thanks mate 👍 glad it's inspired you 👌 I used inch and a half solvent weld pipe from screw fix for the spray bar 👍
Nice video mate 👍
Cheers mate 👍
I know how you feel I drilled holes in all the bottoms of mine not thinking...lol but they was only cheap planters , I orded some better plastic boxes from plastic box company and job was a good un.keep up the videos.
Thanks Vince I could of cried the second time lol especially after I said I'd done it in the past 😂👍
Love a filter build mate and that's a nice neat Diy job drop up a link for the pumice for me will you I'm guessing you found a real cheap place to get it from it should knock the Nitrate's down. Happy ponding
Cheers mate it wasn't super cheap but a good amount of media for the money www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pumice-Stone-Filter-Media-Kuro-Koi-Aquarium-Fish-Ponds-Koi-Trickle-Media-/324190132983?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
Thanks Leon I'm thinking on swapping out whats in my last filter
Is it the grog in your last filter ? You could put pumice on the bottom and a bit of grog on top to hold the pumice down 👍
Oh yeah forgot to say did you like the logo on the shower 😉👌👍
That's what I was thinking I'm not lacking Bio but you can never have to much 👍
Morning, I have been watching your videos, which are great by the way. 👍 👍 👍
But I only noticed on this one that you have a retro fitted bottom drain. Does it work well??? As I'm thinking of getting one myself.
My belief is that you are two years ahead of me in the pond world, I moved into the house I'm in now and a small pond was already installed. But, I decided to go bigger, but not to the level you are at. But now I want a half sunk and half brick pond now, and was thinking if installing the retro bottom drain.
Keep up the good work a d the great vids. 👍 👍 👍
Thanks mate they are really good but if I had the choice again I'd go gravity bottom drain. My retro drain would work a lot better if the floor was slightly sloped towards the retro drain. Cheers 👍
What size pump are you running the retro bottom drain???
I'm running an adjustable flow jebao tsp 20,000 but I only run it at half power my pond is 15,000 liters or 3000 gallons 👍
Think it’s wrong to think that Water won’t travel by cappillary reaction through the media. Better to pack as much media in an ensure water is spread evenly from the top with a spray bar. The idea of randomly placing media would employ that the media is not as porous as say biohome. Hope this helps.
Thanks Vincent so do you think it would work better stacked evenly
Hi Leon, that new media looks good, porous all the way through, which is what you want.
Thanks marek yeah it's seems pretty good to be honest hopefully it matures up nicely. 👍
Are the filter tubes just as good as the easypod filter
It's a different style of filter tbh I would only use a bakki shower as a secondary filter on a big pond so an easypod (or diy easypod ) and a shower filter would be good
hi there where did you get your hygger aquarium biofiltration media frosm
Hello mate u got it from Amazon here's a link

Great video mate and something I hopefully will be using in the future 👍
That mistake cracked me up hahah
But that’s the fun of self made filters
🤣🤣
Cheers mate 😂😂 I was swearing a fair bit I can say that much 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping
Hahaha I would have thrown all the boxes in a rage hahaha
Anger issues 😛
But good to see how you done it and how we can learn from you mate
Loool 😂 Cheers mate 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping
We want to see the outtakes hahah 🤣🤣🤣
😂👌 I'll leave a few in next time 👍
Where did you get the egg crates pal I had a disaster on Tuesday overdosed the pond with medicine p ended up killing 9 fish couldn't save them biggest was 46cm showa rite down to a tosi ochiba bleedin gutted
Oh no absolutely gutted for you mate such a shame. I got it from aquacadabra here's a link

Nicely done Leon, you had me in stitches laughing with the mistakes you done but we all do that, I done many mistakes fitting in the bio chamber and that wasn’t even diy 🤣👍🏻
Cheers bro I couldn't believe myself doing it twice and after mentioning I'd done it before 🤣🤣👍
Nice Bakki Shower Leon 👍
Sorry, but I did laugh at you drilling the holes wrong 😂 We've all done that though.
I have Jap Matting in the top of my Bakki Shower, although I'm still not sure it does anything, other than getting clogged up.
Stay safe 👍👍
Cheers mate 🤣🤣 I had to cut a lot of bad language out as you can imagine 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping I bet 😂😂
I see you drilled holes in your slippers too 😜 great video as always, so honest with the slight errors 😎 looks good now though 👍👍
🤣🤣 cheers mate thank the Lord for ct1 👌👍
What size pump are u using on shower mate I have a smal shower but looking at making a new one to go with my small shower so I can have one at each end off my pond I have a 19000lt pump running my shower at mo but it's only a small shower
Hello mate I'm only using a cheap 6000 lph pump in that shower but is seems to be the perfect amount if I change the pump I'll try to get a 10,000 variable speed pump 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping I've used the tubs in past to make a small moving bed filter I was thinking off buying a new shower but when I sore your shower it brought back some ideas of making one shower for myself to sit next to my shower I have now
Yes I don't blame you bakki showers are really over priced in the shops . I was thinking about adding a sieve to the top tier 👍
Hi , what's the percentage of grog for a 10,000ltr pond ,I have searched but I watched so many vids etc and I've not found the info ,.
Kind regards
Jay
It all depends on fish load and how much you feed but I always say use as much as you can fit in your filters you can never have to much filtration
So I have 4 ghost carp and 4 goldfish, I would show you but not sure how , they are pretty big , if I can attach a pic/ video I would happily do that .
Kind regards
Jay
Wait until she finds out I've used the wheelie bin !! My old pressure filter has died and I'm in a proper pickle to put it mildly , I'm not in a position to replace like for like , so I'm attempting a shower filter with the bin in desperation 🤦
Kind regards
Jay
You can always message me on my Facebook page budget pond keeping or my email is in my channel description
😆 what she doesn't know won't hurt her 🤣 . that sounds like a good idea for a filter just add one bag then more when you can a wheely bin should hold a good amount of media
for the top one use wool its a amazing cleaner and cheap to replace one a week.
Yeah mate I use filter floss myself
Great job Leon, be interesting to see how it affects the water parameters after its matured.
Cheers mate yes hopefully it will help reduce my nitrates a bit 🤞👍
Hi dude how much was your box of media please and looking good there dude 👍👍👍
Thanks mate it was 30 quid if I remember correctly I'll try and find you a link 👌👍
@@progressivepondkeeping thanks dude 👍👍👍
Hiya, also interested in the link for the box of media

@@progressivepondkeeping thats great thank you 👍
Hi Leon, nice build. Any updates? Thank you
Thanks Shaun no update video but it's working really well and matured up a fair bit now, the only thing I've changed is I put a mesh bag in the top tier to catch all the gunk 👍
Thank you Leon.
where did u get the stones from?
Hello mate I got the first stuff from Amazon on prime here's a link
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C2PXPLT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I got the pumice off eBay it was under the kuro koi brand 👍
They have deals on sometimes when you can get it for £30
I got the nano coated long thingies you showed first. Work amazing! They suck up EVERYTHING! I think they're birthing babies, as I've had SEVEN sets of eggs, then fry ever since spring......only ONE FEMALE KOI 😬😳🥴. I Don't understand..... My son has had these 3 koi for 5 years, no babies. Put them in my 10,000 gallon DOG/HUMAN pond, and she's not stopped. I jokingly asked my vet if he could put her on birth control 🥴. Because I have a crapton of beautiful babie Koirhanas...... Hungry lil devil's, all diff sizes, 6" down to newborns, yesterday 😍❤️💕
Thank you for your video. I'm gonna see what I can get up to, since I've become "the ole lady in the shoe" 🤣 now to my adopted Koi!
Help. I got thrown into the fire, via the fastlane!!!!😳
Awesome I can't wait to get fry from my koi in the main pond 😁👍
16:29 what is name? link to buy? thanks

@@progressivepondkeeping Thanks
No problem they do it on offer at £31 every so often
It’s a shame how badly it wicks :(
It's not that bad tbh I left a piece to in the glass and it nearly reached the top of the media
