Looks good. I did one few years back with water cress. Went mental!! What's the black bar you've used at bottom of perspex to make sliding door please mate
It's a viv door slider 😊👍
Thank you. Your airlift design has given me an alternative method for an addition to a filter design I've been working on. All I have to do now is get the garden to build the pond... 😂
🤣🤣🤣 Glad to help 👍
I started doing backwashes on my eazypod just like you're doing a few months ago and it really does help to clear out all the muck. My ez pod gravity feeds to a moving bed, but i do it the same way. Pull the center pipe and let the water backwash through the media till all the muck is gone.
Yeh it's crazy how much of a difference it makes ain't it 😊👍
Great work Jamie, should be great for the pond…. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👍🏼
Thanks bud i hope so and fingers crossed i can grow some nice stuff👍
Cracking idea that Jamie 👍🏼👌🏼
Thanks bud its been working really well so far just gotta see what i can grow 👍
How is the mini heater preformed in this cold 🥶 days?
Yeh really well bud 👍
Also tried strawberry plants in the aquaponics at the farm this year and didn't survive 🧁👍👍👍
Awww good to know I will give them 4 a try but I've got a list of things I'm gunna try in there 👍
Should have v said you was wanting to use airlifts could've given you some advice👍👍👍🧁
Thanks bud appreciate it 👍 at least it worked finally something that actually went perfect with this pond 🤣 but these days I'm not sure who friends are anymore that's why I don't talk to anyone anymore it's safer for me that way 👍
Really neat setup. I bet it works a treat
Thanks yeh it's been running a full week now and working great and getting a list of things I wanna try and grow in it 😊
minus 10 and 15's? never lol
Yeh many times we've hit -10 here
@keepingitkoi Celsius? Wow man that's crazy
@Sharpeyskoi yeh luckily the water doesn't get that cold hey 🤣
Nice one Jamie 👍
@asterixborden-koi6881 thanks bud appreciate it was well chuffed with the results 👍
Brilliant Jamie, well done 👍
Thanks bud appreciate it, well chuffed with it 👍
How high will it lift water do u no of top of your head
When I first put it in the pond and water came out before I was ready it was around a foot and a half high but the air wasn't on full power so maybe around 2ft with a good air pump or even higher with a really good one 👍😊
@ thanks bud
@Littlenickskoipond no worries good luck 😊👍
Gave me an idea for the summer
That's the idea 💡 from one small invention comes many more bigger and better 😉
@ often looked at them hydroponic kits on ali but what they charge for a bit of white pvc pipe is crazy n way mrs n kids get through strawberries worth a go
@ how is peterborough these days grew up in paston as a kid
@Littlenickskoipond absolutely bud and come spring ill find out if it works
@@Littlenickskoipond and getting worse every year 🤣🤣🤣
Seems a brilliant idea I've not seen anyone else trying this way before. Are you going to try some chilli plants?. Gwen 🧓
Thanks Gwen chillies sound a great idea 💡 yes I will definitely try some 😊
brilliant Jamie sure lots of people will give this a try
Thanks Carol yes it's definitely worth a try 😊👍
Racking idea. Cheers I’m going have a go😊
Cheers bud it's definitely worth ago 👍
Where did you get your covers for the media in your filter please
Check out my previous video upgrading the eazypod all the details are in that video 😊👍
Hi. Thank you for sharing this. In July my security cameras captured orbs in my home and they have remained there ever since. I have thousands of videos captured from my cameras triggered by the movement and have been wondering if anyone else has such enounters. I believe it's a spirit energy for sure. I am told they come in love and peace. I am still seeking answers. I hope your mom is well! Cynthia
Thanks Cynthia very kind of you to share your story and thoughts 😊
Its all looking good I give my self a note in my shed to remember to shut off the gate Valve it's easy done
@carollycett1329 oh yes very easily done 😊
Awsome ❤update Jamie.. happy holidays bro
@@ColossalKoi thanks bud you too have a gooden 😊👍
Thanks a lot!, great demonstration of the Eazypod parts I make. Glad they are working well for you. Cheers, Ian
No problem 👍 thank you for them they really are great I may be back in touch for the finer mesh one 😊👍
All set for the winter Jamie… 👍🏼 Koi are looking great mate… 🐟😊
Thanks bud yeh finally everything is working great 👍
Thanks for the information about the air Jamie I didn’t know that I’ve got 2 air stones and 1 air ring in my pond it’s not covered this year so I will be closing down the 2 air stones and slowing down the air ring 👍
No problem bud it's worth doing the colder the water the more oxygen it holds and koi while there all huddled up for winter don't like the disturbance 👍
Hey 👋 as soon as that cold spell came the pond balls went on 😂. What many fail to recognise when feeding koi is digestibility. I could feed Cherio's, koi would love it but it would simply go in and out, offer no nutrient value, simply foul the water and put load on the system. This is the same for any food, people need to think more about load on the system rather than if the koi like it. Wheatgerm is a byproduct of commercialism and a way to keep the tills going over Winter by fear. Don't know what you call high protein in % terms, but its not a good idea to feed true high protein as it has a higher thermic value for digestibility so why waste money on it. I suspect its not what many would call high protein unless yiu really are throwing something in, like, Takazumi junior or high growth around 45%. 40% protein is about standard, fat content is the key and higher in lower grade feeds. Cheers
Well said bud 👍 😊
Good to see a video from you Jamie. Hope all is well with you. 😊 Both of your ponds are looking awesome!! Love that grow-on you did with the enclosure. Might have to copy that for my grow-on upgrade with next year’s projects I’m planning. I so wish I lived there to pop on over, look at it and say yup, that’s what I want to do. Stay warm & happy my friend. 👍🥰
Thank you Maureen 😊 well if you come over again for the shows you'll have to pop over for a look 😉
Thank you Maureen 😊 well if you come over again for the shows you'll have to pop over for a look 😉
Always interesting to watch Jamie, not got a pond yet myself but certainly thinking about it for the new year
Thanks bud and sweet it's definitely worth it once you've got over the new pond syndrome 😉 just seriously think about the build and get it right people always say they wish they did things differently and even I'm the same I love my pond but being wood I know it won't last forever so block/bricks is the way to go costs more in the beginning but then you don't have to paint it every year and you don't have to rebuild it in 10 years 🤣
@@keepingitkoi thanks for the advice Jamie, I was thinking wood, but now you say that blocks does seem the best way forward regards Neil
OK Jamie I have sent you a series of screenshots on how to change the setting below 15, I was going to do a video but the problem is, if I do the video and someone bricks their ashp I don't want to be held responsible as the menu you have to go into is very techy and easy to make a mistake. Let me know how you get on mate 👍
Thanks bud and yeh I get what you mean about the settings but yeh all set to 10c now 😊👍
Nice job buddy.. Lol someone is still hungry. 9 that is nice!! Lowest ... 15... Wow not a chance .. especially here..that would cost a fortune Good on you letting your koi having a winter
Thanks bud and yeh makes em Hardy and strong for the future 💪 👍
Garden is looking nice and tidy. Koi looking great too. Nice update Jamie
So nice of you thanks so much 🙏 😊
Where do get them air stone control switches from
Ebay or amazon they are fan controllers 👍
Both ponds and fish looking great Jamie, i agree with your philosophy on feeding and knowing your fish and what they want. As you may remember I'm unheated no cover and work on the same principles, pond down to just about 5c now last week at 4 , ok they don't grow as quickly as most people would like but that's fine with me I'm in the hobby because i love koi not because i want a monster or a show fish just nice fish to enjoy watching 👍. Gwen 🧓
Well said! And exactly the same here if all my koi grew to 90cm I'd have to give half of them away 😄
Nice update mate, I've turned my Thermotec down to 12deg no problem at all give me a pm and I'll explain how.
Thanks bud all sorted 😊👍
@keepingitkoi glad I could help mate 👍
Nice to see all those fish enjoying their new home and great update. Will be watching to hear what you think of the heat pump as I’m looking for one 👍
Thanks bud it has so many pluses and only a few negatives which i mentioned in my next video but wont do a full review till next year 👍
hello. I also have recordings of orbs. and I am convinced that it is my deceased brother. it is really fascinating. I love it. thank you for your video. greetings from Vienna. all the best to you, Chrissi
Thanks Chrissi really appreciate that 🙏
looking good dude👍 intered to see how the aquaponics pans out....awesome idea
Thanks bud you and me both 👍
Brilliant additions just remember you shouldn't have a uv before mechanical & bio...
Thanks bud but that's how the eazypod is designed and the pond hasn't suffered at all thankfully 👍
@keepingitkoi that's how the eazypod is designed in Pump fed mode yes. You are running it gravity fed 👍 your killing all bio.... nice clear water though!
The Eazypods that are suitable for UV upgrades have a black tube inside the circular protrusion to prevent the UV light from killing the bacteria on your media! Without it the light will have a serious detrimental effect on your filter bacteria! By the way you were able to show us the glow inside your Pod , I may be wrong but it doesn’t look like you have one so I personally would be reluctant to use it!🤷🏻♂️
Your absolutely right but it really restricted the flow so I took it out and the pond hasn't been affected by it thankfully 👍
@ Any effect is unlikely to be immediate but any loss of beneficial bacteria could cause a slow buildup of Nitrite which would! I’d remove the UV if it was causing any kind of restriction and just plumb one in inline! At the end of the day you want as much bacteria in your filter media as possible, not something that can adversely effect that, the health of the Koi should be paramount!
Grow on is looking great. Nice little additions to the easy pod.
Thank you they seem to be working a treat 👍
Great upgrades Jamie. 👍🏼 I have the media covers and mesh filter too, they do a great job. Credit to Sculpted Layers… 👏🏼 👏🏼
Thanks bud and yeh absolutely 💯 👍
Great to see everything working well now Jamie, your fish look super happy with it all too 👌
Thanks i hope so they seem really happy 😊👍
Hi, be careful they have a two pin plug so no earth wire. Electrickery and water don’t mix, not sure what the mechanical strength of the glass tube is but…….. I certainly wouldn’t put my hands in the pond with it switched on 🤓💀
These are designed to be fully submerged in aquariums but luckily the electrics don't go near the water on this set up so fingers crossed everything will be OK
@ Hi Jamie, if the the glass were to crack the submerged bulb and it’s connections would indeed come in contact with the water and liven up the pond and you of you had your hands in it. Unless of course the voltage is transformed down in the tiny switch box which I suspect it isn’t. When was the last time you bought anything electrical that is pond related that doesn’t have an earth wire? At least check the fuse in the plug which I suspect will come as a 13 amp, although may not, and replace it with a much lower rated fuse. Although not common you can buy 1amp fuses for plug tops which should be more than sufficient and a tad safer. I enjoy the channel so don’t go electrocuting yourself🤓👍
Brilliant update fish looking great and nice upgrade's to the pod
Thanks Carol yeh its working great now 👍
Aquaponics... Hydroponics has additional nutrients added to the water. Aquaponics just uses the pond water as is.
Ahhh thanks that makes sense 😊👍
Love the upgrades. Have you ever been to avenue fisheries
No not yet but its on my list of places to visit next year 😊
Nice upgrade video, interesting adaptations to equipment and nice to see the heater working as I haven't got mine powered up yet but interested in the disadvantages that you have encountered with your heater
Thanks bud there's only 1 disadvantage for me so far the fact that it can't be turned down lower than 15c but other than that it's spot on 😊
Nice informative video thanks take care
Thanks Joyce, you too! 😊
Enjoyed this upgrade video some very interesting things there, can't wait to see how the hydroponics comes along really like that idea as i also get problems with low KH through winter and spring. Gwen 🧓
Thanks Gwen just waiting for the last few bits to arrive for it 😊
