    I have been watching all your episodes for a while now and I enjoy it so much! You should totally get a group of koi or goldfish for your large pond to help manage bugs and begin to balance the ecosystem. Also I would look into getting floating plants such as water lettuce or water hyacinth. While they are tropical and will most likely die over the winter; they do grow very fast and absorb access nutrients and provide shade. If you add some to your larger pond and let it expand it will greatly help. One of the general rule of thumb when having a Clearwater pond is to cover about 40% of it with shade because the main things green microalgae lives off of is access nutrients and sunlight which plants can provide both of especially the floating plants. Also one of the best places I have found for learning how to get clear water is a channel called Ozponds. One last tip I have is a high quality UV light. By having a UV light it prevents the alage from growing by sterilizing it. You just need to make sure it is a good quality one and that the bulb is still working after a year. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more episodes!

    • @theevolvingworld
      @theevolvingworld 7 дней назад

      Thank you for your kind words & hope you continue to follow the evolution. We did experiment with both the water lettuce & water hyacinth back in the beginning. Water hyacinth was my favorite flourishing plant until it became a rapidly dying plant last August. Also, there is a UV light in the fountain. There has been some very interesting recent developments in regards to all things mentioned here, coming up in episode #10.

    What do you think about installing the Koni red, which is supposed to be softer than the yellow? Also, do you think that these would fit on a 2023 Chevy EUV? Last question do you think or what do you think about the Beilstein shocks instead of the Koni? my car is definitely driving wonky it feels like the shocks and the rare are not even working.

    • @theevolvingworld
      @theevolvingworld 22 дня назад

      All of the Bolts are running the same basic platform. The EUV variant is riding slightly higher, has smaller rear seat area, larger storage area, different styling, & nicer options. Weight is greater and the OEM EUV rides noticeably softer than my '17. I don't see any reason why the Koni's or Bilstein's wouldn't work. They are both great brands with a long history of producing high quality products. Mine are continuing to work great on the softest setting with no need to adjust anything. The OEM fronts are doing fine as well. Those rears are defective from the start on all Bolts. I believe the only reason it's not called out more often is because some people don't carry as much cargo or people as others... and thus don't have the problem. You should be able to have those replaced for free under warranty on 2023 model. Also, the rear beam axle seems to get itself out of alignment as well. I have video on fixing that for a few bucks vs a few grand. Blown shocks and out of alignment will make a car drive very wonky.

  • @martyb0y1981
    @martyb0y1981 28 дней назад

    You're so close to having the perfect setup. You could fill the top with pea gravel and plant the plants in it while pumping water up from the pool, creating a huge natural filter and the plants will grow crazy.

    • @theevolvingworld

    What is the black wire and the gizmo toward the middle of the seat that is covered with your blanket? Can that be safely moved out of the way to make a platform there? Is it safe to put weight on it. Looks like it could be damaged with anything heavy on it, and of course the wires are a concern. Is that a weight sensor?

    • @theevolvingworld
      @theevolvingworld Месяц назад

      Yeah, I've been wondering about that myself. I can't find it in the manual either. We know the HV battery service disconnect is the larger device towards the front under the rear seats. But, the little magic marker size thing under the rear seat back, which is visible with the rear seats in as well, is kind of a mystery. I would leave it alone.

  • @woody3307

    • @theevolvingworld
      @theevolvingworld Месяц назад

      Sorry to hear about the knuckle. Maybe the passenger seat wiring connector is not fully in. I am not sure where the TPMS controller box is located on this car. Usually, it's in the back corner near either wheel. I don't think it would be near the seat. Possibly power supply is flowing thru that connector to the TPMS box located elsewhere in car. Double check that wiring connector!
