Mate what a great look back at this years koi season, I personally wish to thank you for your videos which have helped not just uk koi keepers but from all around the world.

Chuffed to hear you end with " As always, happy ponding" have a great Christmas mate. Catch you in the new year. Andy & Bizley
Hi Andy, I have to say, its been a real pleasure to have you with me mate. We've all come a long way since I first started my RUclips channel. In the early days, not many koi keepers chatted to each other and help was hard to find. But nowadays, everybody chats to everybody and help is only an email away. The koi pond community has come on in leaps and bounds, and its wonderful to see. I'm just proud to have been a small part of it. Thank you for your kind comments mate, it's really appreciated. You and your family have a great Christmas and a great New Year. See you in 2022 mate. Keep turning those great videos out. You take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Hi Steve, and thanks mate. I can't believe just how quickly that time has gone. You and Cat have a great Christmas, and a happy New Year to you both. See you soon. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Terry - a great look back and a reminder of the many fantastic videos you have uploaded. Like many others have said, You have provided inspiration to thousands and helped thousands more. I am extremely grateful for all the hints and tips I’ve been able to get from you. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and look forward to seeing more cracking videos and relaxing to that calming voice of yours in 2022. Stay safe and best wishes - cheers to a pond world legend. 👍🏼

Hi Lau, and thank you. Yes, all good here at the moment, thank goodness. I can't believe how quick this season has gone, it's probably because of the late start we got.

Hi Paul, and thanks mate, I'm only to pleased to help mate. When I started on RUclips (around 7 or 8 year ago) people in the pond world wouldn't tell you anything, help was very thin on the ground back then mate. Like you say, we've come a long way, and it's good to see. I do like to think I've opened up the DIY side of things a bit. Thanks mate, you and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for The New Year. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Fabulous video Terry, bought back some great and not so great memories of 2021. So look forward to following your antics in 2022, with luck I'll start making some video's of my pond refurb in 2022, which I was supposed to do this year !!! Take care, you and the family have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Stay safe & well.
Hi mate, and thank you. I just can't believe how quick the pond season has gone. I'm looking forward to seeing your pond refurb next year, all the best and I hope all goes well for you. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. See you on the other side mate. Take care and stay safe, Terry.

Hi Roy, and thank you. I have loads of videos for you to look at, a lot of them are of making filters, even an RDF (rotary drum filter). Welcome to my channel, and I hope you enjoy being with us. Take care, Terry.
Crikey Terry I've only just seen this, for some reason It was never flagged up on my YT page or I missed it. All a bit nostalgic mate, I've loved watching you this year and really looking forward to what you'll have for us in 2022. A very Merry Christmas to you and your good lady ( who knows? Santa may bring you a new pair of those "all terrain's" 🤣) and hope you have a Happy New year. All the best.
Hi mate, no worries, you got here in the end lol. I've had loads of trouble with RUclips, and I still don't get any notifications. You can't beat the all terrain slippers mate, lol. Thanks so much for your support on RUclips, it's really appreciated. I know we got a late start to the season, but it still seems to have gone really quick. Roll on Spring. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Thanks again mate. You all take care and stay safe, Terry.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Wrighty. Only taken me 12 months to hit subscribe button. Stay safe and thanks for sharing all the information and ideas you do.
Hi Mark, all that matters is your here now mate, glad to have you with us. This season just seems to have flown by. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year mate, take care and stay safe, Terry.
Still love your beautiful garden, pond setup and fish. Been amazing seeing your experiments and successes, what an awesome journey it's been the past few years. I hope you and your lovely family have an amazing Christmas and here's to a good few years more of outstanding videos. Best wishes from Bromley, Kent
Hi Steve, and thank you, it's really appreciated mate. Good to hear you've enjoyed the videos. I'm not sure what to do next year yet, but something will come up lol, it usually does. Thanks again mate, you and your family have a great Christmas and even better New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.

Hi Tony, that's right mate, this year just seem to have flown by. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
I really enjoyed all your videos and seeing accomplishments throughout this year. That auto upflow filter is spectacular. It's also quite pleasant seeing your comments on other channels that are just starting out. To a great fellow Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks mate, it's very much appreciated. Good to hear you enjoy the videos. I can't believe just how quick time has flown by. Thank you for your support over that time mate, it means a lot to me. You and your family have a great Christmas, and a happy New Year. Here's to a great 2022 pond season. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Thank you Stewart, it's really appreciated mate as always. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Roll on spring lol. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Hi Ray, and thanks mate. I can't believe how short this pond season was, because of the late start I suppose. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New year. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Terry, I put a comment and question on your vid 'General Pond & Garden Winter Jobs'.... I know you've had issues in the past receiving some comments so I hope you don't mind me repeating it here. The comment/question was - Nice one Terry, always interesting to see how it's all going. Re having no jobs to do - you've obviously become a victim of your own success! Great to see it all working like clockwork, especially after following the progress through the years. A question Terry if I may.... I also have a sieve filter. I always thought that the majority of what got caught in there was fish waste, but after hearing you say that you're not catching much at this time of year and bearing in mind, you're still feeding, I guess it must be majority algae which is obviously more prevelent in the warmer month? What do you reckon Tel?
Hi Ray, I think most channels on RUclips are suffering with this at the moment mate. When we click REPLY on some comments, they just disappear before we can answer them. I had this problem twice this week already. Also, I don't get any notifications of new posts and from channels I'm subscribed to. RUclips is in a right mess at the moment mate, and they don't seem to be doing anything about it. I do apologize if I missed your comment mate, as I do try to answer all of them. My sieve filter does stop a lot of algae, a lot more in the summer, like you say. I think it's because there's more for the koi to pull off in the summer when it's growing, and it's easier for them to pull off. Summer time, I clean my sieve 3 times a day if we have a lot of sun, and at the moment I just get what you've seen in this video, once a day. I hope this helps mate. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Hi Dave, I don't have anything planned at the moment mate, but as you know, that could change lol. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Hi Mark, I bet it's a lot warmer where you are, wish I was there mate. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
It's a barmy 24 degrees at 1:30am in the morning here atm sorry to rub it in lol but I love your videos mate as I find them relaxing and informative to watch so keep up the good work mate cheers
I remember it like it was only yesterday. Always enjoy your videos matey 👍👍 By the way what's that growing under your nose????? Merry Christmas mate hope you have a good one ,see you soon ☃️😁👍👍
Hi Andy, and thanks mate. I can't believe just how quick the year has gone. It's a gravy stain on the top lip lol. The wife doesn't like it, so I thought I'd give it a go lol. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Hi Terry, just a question of topic, re: Bakki River if you don't mind? I know with a shower it is recommended to have the water"crashing into it. I think I remember when you made your river you advised to have the water flow at a slow rate? I can't seem to find much info on Rivers it's mainly all about the showers. Can you suggest a good flow rate please?
Hi Rob, this is a big debated point with bakki rivers. Adam Julyan who has a channel here on RUclips, always use to say, you need a really good flow over the Siporax in a bakki river, and ran his like it for many years. Others say just the opposite. I have 50 ltr of Siporax in mine and run around 4000 to 5000 lph over it. It does take quite a while for the Siporax in the river to start producing the anaerobic (anoxic) bacteria, and I think from there it's a mater of finding a balance. As you know, every pond is different, so what works on mine, may not work the same for yours. Once the river is established, I think it's a bit of trial and error to find the sweet spot. I hope this helps mate, Terry.
Hey Terry, HNY to you. Quick question to save energy I turned my heater down to 12c, some of my goldfish now are behaving funny either lying on the bottom quite inactive and one of my larger older ones is also doing the same. I have set the thermostat back to 15c. Do you think this would be a good idea, I only have goldfish no Koi but inspired by your setup.
Hi mate, Happy New Year. I'm not sure why they're doing this. If it had been koi, it would be understandable, but goldfish are usually quite hardy when it comes to cold water, and 12c should be plenty for them. I've seen goldfish swimming around under 4 inches of ice, and they were fine. All I can think of is, if it was a sudden 2deg drop, but I still don't think that should have bothered them too much. If they were on the bottom of the deep end, the water might have been a little bit warmer down there for them. That's all I can think of mate. Sorry I can't help much, take care, Terry.
That was a brilliant video mate really good recap. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and the family mate 🎅☃️🎄🦌 (I see you commented on my video but it's disappeared sorry mate don't want you to think I'm ignoring you 👍)
Hi Leon, and thanks mate. I did comment, I was just asking if you wanted a wrighty mug to go with your others. If you do, just drop me an email with your address to pondfilters@gmail.com and I'll send you one. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year mate. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Hi Mate, that's right, you just don't realize just how quick time passes. You and your family have a great Christmas and New Year mate. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Hi Daniel, I do have the full instructions of how to build the protein skimmer with videos, plus a full list of parts and links of where to get them on my website. Go to diypondfilters.com/shop/ hope this helps mate, Terry.
Hi mate, The media in the Up-Flow filter with the swarf in it, is the New K Plus media, and the media in my Bakki River is Siporax Ceramic media. Hope this helps, Terry.
Mate what a great look back at this years koi season, I personally wish to thank you for your videos which have helped not just uk koi keepers but from all around the world.

kind regards Paul
Hi Paul, and thanks mate, I'm only to pleased to help mate. When I started on RUclips (around 7 or 8 year ago) people in the pond world wouldn't tell you anything, help was very thin on the ground back then mate. Like you say, we've come a long way, and it's good to see. I do like to think I've opened up the DIY side of things a bit. Thanks mate, you and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for The New Year. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Fabulous video Terry, bought back some great and not so great memories of 2021. So look forward to following your antics in 2022, with luck I'll start making some video's of my pond refurb in 2022, which I was supposed to do this year !!! Take care, you and the family have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Stay safe & well.
Hi mate, and thank you. I just can't believe how quick the pond season has gone. I'm looking forward to seeing your pond refurb next year, all the best and I hope all goes well for you. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. See you on the other side mate. Take care and stay safe, Terry.

Santa may bring you a new pair of those "all terrain's" 🤣) and hope you have a Happy New year. All the best.

Hi Ray, and thanks mate. I can't believe how short this pond season was, because of the late start I suppose. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New year. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
@@Wrighty Hi Terry, thanks for the messsage mate and a very Merry Xmas to you guys too
Terry, I put a comment and question on your vid 'General Pond & Garden Winter Jobs'.... I know you've had issues in the past receiving some comments so I hope you don't mind me repeating it here. The comment/question was - Nice one Terry, always interesting to see how it's all going. Re having no jobs to do - you've obviously become a victim of your own success! Great to see it all working like clockwork, especially after following the progress through the years. A question Terry if I may.... I also have a sieve filter. I always thought that the majority of what got caught in there was fish waste, but after hearing you say that you're not catching much at this time of year and bearing in mind, you're still feeding, I guess it must be majority algae which is obviously more prevelent in the warmer month? What do you reckon Tel?
Hi Ray, I think most channels on RUclips are suffering with this at the moment mate. When we click REPLY on some comments, they just disappear before we can answer them. I had this problem twice this week already. Also, I don't get any notifications of new posts and from channels I'm subscribed to. RUclips is in a right mess at the moment mate, and they don't seem to be doing anything about it. I do apologize if I missed your comment mate, as I do try to answer all of them.
My sieve filter does stop a lot of algae, a lot more in the summer, like you say. I think it's because there's more for the koi to pull off in the summer when it's growing, and it's easier for them to pull off. Summer time, I clean my sieve 3 times a day if we have a lot of sun, and at the moment I just get what you've seen in this video, once a day.
I hope this helps mate. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Happy chrimbo to you and family.have you any plans for new year for the pond.thanks for posting videos
Hi Dave, I don't have anything planned at the moment mate, but as you know, that could change lol. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
Merry Xmas mate from Australia
Hi Mark, I bet it's a lot warmer where you are, wish I was there mate. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
It's a barmy 24 degrees at 1:30am in the morning here atm sorry to rub it in lol but I love your videos mate as I find them relaxing and informative to watch so keep up the good work mate cheers
I'm well jealous mate, good to hear you enjoy the videos. thanks again, take care mate, Terry.
I remember it like it was only yesterday. Always enjoy your videos matey 👍👍 By the way what's that growing under your nose????? Merry Christmas mate hope you have a good one ,see you soon ☃️😁👍👍
Hi Andy, and thanks mate. I can't believe just how quick the year has gone. It's a gravy stain on the top lip lol. The wife doesn't like it, so I thought I'd give it a go lol. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Hi Terry, just a question of topic, re: Bakki River if you don't mind? I know with a shower it is recommended to have the water"crashing into it.
I think I remember when you made your river you advised to have the water flow at a slow rate?
I can't seem to find much info on Rivers it's mainly all about the showers. Can you suggest a good flow rate please?
Hi Rob, this is a big debated point with bakki rivers. Adam Julyan who has a channel here on RUclips, always use to say, you need a really good flow over the Siporax in a bakki river, and ran his like it for many years. Others say just the opposite. I have 50 ltr of Siporax in mine and run around 4000 to 5000 lph over it. It does take quite a while for the Siporax in the river to start producing the anaerobic (anoxic) bacteria, and I think from there it's a mater of finding a balance. As you know, every pond is different, so what works on mine, may not work the same for yours. Once the river is established, I think it's a bit of trial and error to find the sweet spot. I hope this helps mate, Terry.
@@Wrighty Thanks Terry I'll try a bit of tweaking around. Cheers Mate
Hey Terry, HNY to you. Quick question to save energy I turned my heater down to 12c, some of my goldfish now are behaving funny either lying on the bottom quite inactive and one of my larger older ones is also doing the same. I have set the thermostat back to 15c. Do you think this would be a good idea, I only have goldfish no Koi but inspired by your setup.
Hi mate, Happy New Year. I'm not sure why they're doing this. If it had been koi, it would be understandable, but goldfish are usually quite hardy when it comes to cold water, and 12c should be plenty for them. I've seen goldfish swimming around under 4 inches of ice, and they were fine. All I can think of is, if it was a sudden 2deg drop, but I still don't think that should have bothered them too much. If they were on the bottom of the deep end, the water might have been a little bit warmer down there for them. That's all I can think of mate. Sorry I can't help much, take care, Terry.
@@Wrighty He's my older 1 he is about 12 years old so maybe he's too old now!
He's a very good age for a goldfish. Here's hoping he gets a lot older mate. Take care, Terry.
💥bam 1st!
This season has gone so fast mate...roll on spring
I'm with you on that one mate. You and your family have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care and stay safe, Terry.
