This video just shows my thoughts on analouge heaters really they shouldn't be used for koi ponds as they can't keep the water at a steady enough temperature.
Great update Adam. And some very usefull infomation about all the types heating that you use for your ponds 👍🏻😊. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and an awesome new year. All the best, Tel 😊🙏🏻😊
Hi Adam. Is there a way I can contact you? I need some advice on a koi I have ended up with. I am a fancy goldfish breeder so koi are not my forte. Cheers, Jamie
Roll on Springtime and brighter evenings, Merry Christmas Adam and everyone. My koi will be getting some prawns for their Christmas tea. Happy New Year one and all. 🙂🥳🐠🐟
I bought that cloverleaf heater off a hottub company for only £50. Exactly the same as the cloverleaf without the branding. Followed your video on how to install the leds and it works a treat. Mine is set to 10c and works spot on. Works perfectly
Yeah the one that is actually on the blue tank is one of those ive also got the 3kw version which cloverleaf don't do that's pretty good. They are exactly the same though it's rather disappointing.
Great videos, been watching some of your videos really useful, thinking of getting one of those Hanna monitors for pH as in very soft water area. How are you finding your Hanna monitor?
Yeah you could be onto something with that i think im going to keep them on the 3mm for a little while longer see how they get on with it. Anything to stop them being so aggressive is worth a try.
Hi loved the video. I will be re-digging my pond (adding 3 foot square to it) was thing to put insulation in it as it has I 1 foot wall round it. Is this a good idea or could I have issues in the summer? I live in London and summers can get hot it’s a none heated pond.
Interesting comparison between analog and digital. I wish I could heat my pond but regardless of the heater type it would cost a fortune. Temperature here this morning in Oshawa, Southern Ontario, Canada is -15c with the wind chill and we're not into our coldest months yet. Jan., Feb. and Mar. are when it really gets cold. 🥶 🥶 🥶
Hey Adam buddy 👋🏼 I hope you're well. Very informative video as always 👍🏼 Where can i get one of those digital thermostat controls from? The link is not in yet description 😱 I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas 🎄 😊
Thanks I know it appears you cant get them and similar ones made by proline are great but only work with their heaters unfortunately. Hope you have a great Christmas and new year too 🙂
Merry Christmas Adam hope you and the family have a good one. Thanks for all your content this year, so helpful. Where do you get your digital controller’s from?
Thanks It appears you cant get them and similar ones made by proline are great but only work with their heaters unfortunately. Hope you have a great Christmas and new year too 🙂
Hi Adam thanks for the video. I have an inkbird wifi digital thermostat on a 1kw heater it's quite useful as you can set temp differentials and max and min temps. Let's you know if temps drop etc if your out. I also have one on my air source heat pump but it's connected to a relay as the inkbirds are only rated at 10 amp. The WiFi thing is useful for me as you can monitor the temps from anywhere. Thanks again.
That sounds Interesting I haven't seen those before Ill have to have a look into it. I run a ASHP on one of my tanks and you just cant beet it runs pretty much for free when you compare it to one of the heaters in the video.
you'd be better off with an Air source heat pump less messing about to install, safer and if your using your houses boiler the pond can really lower its performance making the house and hot water system colder. I know a few people that used to use gas boilers and have switched to ASHP.
Hi Adam great channel and video. I’m after some advice. I have a 400 gallon quarantine tank and I heat it with a 500 watt aquarium heater which I’ve used for about 4 years and I heat it to 20c but the heater is on all the time so I brought plug which I can plug the heater in and it will tell me how much electric I’m useing to my horror it’s costing me £15 per week could you advise me on what heater I should get to bring the cost down on by the way the qt is in the garage and it’s got a lid on cheers mate
Insulation would make the biggest difference so make sure it's insulated as well as possible. all resistive heaters should be the same so if you used a 1kw heater it should only need to be on half the time but cost the same amount although for some reason this doesn't seam to be the case a lot of times I have seen a 1kw pond heater be more efficient than two 500w aquarium heaters so that could be something to try if your thinking of upgrading although i wouldn't go more than 1kw it would be too much.
I was going to run my pond off of solar panels and battery back up is it possible to do? How many and what watt panels would you think would work? I have a 10000 litre pond a 3500 lph eco pump for skimmer and a 13000 lph for filters and two 30 watt uv lights would love to heat it as well any thoughts?
I wouldn't say its impossible just unreasonable you'd probably need at least 4kw of solar to keep it powered in winter which would maybe be a bit excessive in summer so you might be able to run a heater in summer off the waste electric. you'd be better off using the electric for the house Ive got 7.5kw of solar and it does a good job in summer but not so much in winter.
Hi hope all is well. I have just built an indoor koi pond just under 8000 gallons and wondering what you do to stop condensation, I am currently heating pond with a air source heat pump. Thanks
The air temp needs to be warmer than the pond or you need a good dehumidifier. If its a cold building you need a desiccant dehumidifier if its warm you need a compressor dehumidifier. I 100% recommend a dehumidifier as the moisture gets everywhere and destroys everything that you can't see.
@@AdamJulyan aquarium Heaters are normal a simple solenoid switch and are around £40. I brought a digital controller to override and control it. People losing thousands of pounds in rare fish due to a cheap heater. I know in the marine aquarium hobby they suggest replacing them every year for that very reason. Your 8kw would be eye watering, at Nearly 32amp I would have to be careful not to trip the house I only have 60amp total.
Would a analogue 2kw heater set to maximum but on a timer to come on between 00:30am and 4:30am for octopus go 5p/kw work well and save money it would stop the pond dropping in temperature overnight and if well insulated maybe even hold the temperature throughout the day any thoughts ???
Yeah that would work pretty well although I wouldn't set it to max it would work well sometimes bet when the weather warms up or a mild night it might just jump up a bit too much. I know people that do that so it warms the pond maybe 2DegC while the electric is cheep then it can slowly lose that 2DegC through the rest of the day and then repeat.
@@AdamJulyan thanks for the reply it seems the koi Keep hobby has got really technical and keeps up with the times. Costing only 40p to add 2°c to a pond at night is a real win for people on minimum wage 👍
Dig yourselves/ Fish an in-ground Pond!! I would be so scared that something would happen to the plastic/vinyl and in the cold weather.... and all my fish would be flopping around. 😢💝 or get a Lot more of the foiled insulation wrapped around it!! A Natural Ecosystem pond with a bog filter.
it's 9000gal and yes the air temp needs to be 2DegC warmer than the water although in summer when the pond gets to 25DegC I tend to turn off the heating and use a dehumidifier when I can't have the doors or windows open. I didn't used to use the dehumidifier as it only really gets humid when the nights start getting a little colder and the pond is still warm. This time of year its fine the 26DegC QT tank gives off tones of humidity into the 22DegC room but it condenses on the main pond as its only 18DegC so it's actually pretty dry as the pond is sucking all the humidity out of the air.
Great update Adam. And some very usefull infomation about all the types heating that you use for your ponds 👍🏻😊. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and an awesome new year. All the best, Tel 😊🙏🏻😊
So nice of you. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and new year too 🙂
I would like to take this moment to Wish You a Happy Christmas and a Great New Year hoping that all your 2022 pond Wishes come true.

Thanks for the vids though the year and seeing to the neglected fish matey!! A happy Christmas Have a good one 🎄👍
Thanks Happy Christmas and new year to you too 🙂
Thank you for the update. I love how excited your fish are to see you. 😊
Evening Adam, Great video as always noticed new art work over your main pond :) looks good
Thanks 👍
Roll on Springtime and brighter evenings, Merry Christmas Adam and everyone. My koi will be getting some prawns for their Christmas tea. Happy New Year one and all. 🙂🥳🐠🐟
Thanks merry Christmas to you too. I'm currently deciding what im going to get the fish for Christmas dinner 🙂

Any chance of a link to where the pump is sold and the make of pump.
Great comparison Adam! Thank god I’ve moved from Elecro 3kw to a remora ASHP
The fish still think it’s summer As Holding 17 🤣
Happy holidays mate 🎄🎉🎄
Thanks Adam.. this is very informative info….thanks for sharing bro.
Excellent video. I love how your kumonryu eats his pellets 🤣
Great videos, been watching some of your videos really useful, thinking of getting one of those Hanna monitors for pH as in very soft water area. How are you finding your Hanna monitor?
Nice update bruva I prefer to feed 3mm pellets as they seem to get digested easier which I feel is better for the fish 👍👍👍
Yeah you could be onto something with that i think im going to keep them on the 3mm for a little while longer see how they get on with it. Anything to stop them being so aggressive is worth a try.
@@AdamJulyan for sure mate 💯%👍👍👍

Checked my cloverleaf heater after your video
Set at 14 and still heating at 18 😤
absolute pain they can be and waste a ton of electric doing that.

Fortunately It doesn't get that cold in the UK very often maybe once every 10 years we'll manage -15DegC.
Hey Adam buddy 👋🏼 I hope you're well.
Very informative video as always 👍🏼
Where can i get one of those digital thermostat controls from?
The link is not in yet description 😱
I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas 🎄 😊

I know it appears you cant get them and similar ones made by proline are great but only work with their heaters unfortunately.

Hi Adam
What flow rate do you have running through the elecro 8kw when you have it running? Cheers Scott
Hi Adam just wondering if you know how much cuttlebrook koi fry are?
Thank You
Enjoyed the video matey 👍👍 thanks for sharing 😁
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Cool update
I always look forward to your videos, always learn something new. What is your view on gas heating compared to electricity? Thanks Adam

Do heat the water or the air ? Thanks
It looks like your launching rockets from the back of your camper haha. Fish people, am I right?
Just subbed 👍👍
I have heard a lot of horror stories on tropical ponds where heaters have failed cooked the fish.
Yeah im surprised they don#t make them with 2 thermostats so if one fails the other wont allow the heater to attempt boiling the tank.

Great vid, any update on rescue pond?
Yeah I'm trying to get bulb energy of of administration lol
Any update on ur fry anytime soon mate or not
Hi, Yeah I've been a bit busy but got some videos planned for the next few Sundays if all goes well 🙂
well you dont really need heaters in the tropics where i live but good advice man
Well I guess the same can apply to a chiller 🙂

Hiya mate new subscriber nice video fry look boss la
How many gallons you got in your indoor pond ?
Do you get any kind of condensation when running high temperature in pond
it's 9000gal and yes the air temp needs to be 2DegC warmer than the water although in summer when the pond gets to 25DegC I tend to turn off the heating and use a dehumidifier when I can't have the doors or windows open.
