looking forward to this mate
Well Mr Whisperer, seems you have a nice shiny new grow on. you now need to showcase it's capabilities.
I challenge you to a grow off. You can pick where we get the Koi , and well see who can grow the biggest and best ones.
Gentlemans comp, you me and some fish.
Fancy it? Or you not got the minerals?😂
Well done James, and the Mrs... top job, nice to see it up and running.. looking forward to you stocking it 👍
You and me both!
Excellent MountTree products, what a unique way of using ceramic media😊👍. Grow on Pond is looking epic and with that filtration it should create a superb environment for your koi👍. Well done sir👏
Thanks mate yea it will be interesting as I have never tested it this way
What I love about you pond set ups is they are so neat and tidy and precise and easy to maintain. Brilliant mate bang on.I am looking at a new filter to add on to my exciting and that looks bang on mate what you have done 👍 👍👍
Wow amazing pond James hope everything goes well according to plan good luck ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Looks absolutely amazing well done James and mrs whisperer👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Looking great James. That’s a lot of filter media for a small pond.You are better off with more media than not enough. Keep up the good work mate 👍🐟
I like watching your videos Fantastic job
Very nice sett up mate
Glad you like it mate
Looking the nuts mate. I wanna see ya get started on the farm now 🤙
Yes that’s going to happen but it’s a long long project mate
良く考えられたシステム素晴らしいです👍
Thank you
James, where did you get the adjustable air valve from having trouble trying to locate one,
Not going to lie I got it from a mate who works with the beer lines but there must be a link I can find I will try my best to put it in a video soon
Chuffed for you and the family keep going forward mate but take your breaks buddy ⚒️⚒️⚒️
That's the plan! Definitely need the break / cut of time and start time like a norm job
fantastic mate love all the videos have you a link for the thing that ya can adjust the air flow with cant find one anywhere
Hi James. The Grow on pond is looking great. How are you going to finish the outside (concrete blocks) ?
Render I think
Hi james what fittings are you using for the air and size please
12mm mate
start 649.169 end 651.670 m3. is a diffrence of 2.501 m3 x 1000 liters. makes it 2501 liters
Thanks mate and I have been told that’s 559g is that about right
Yea 550 uk gallons
That is with all your gear running to so that would include your pond plus filters capacity.
i would take the matala matting out! will hinder the flow through your ceramic media as it clogs up in the middle making it flow round the outside of your ceramic media james !
I want to test it out and see how/what happens tbh just so I can get it on film both ways to be honest
Cracking video mate 👌👍 definitely getting some lotus root for bakki shower. What size push fit and pipe you used for the air pump mate. Obviously the John guess ones 👌👍
12 mm mate
With the drum, do you really need the green filter matting? Wouldn’t the drum do all the mechanical filtering required and you just need the ceramic bio media and UV?
Pretty sure he will consider the matting as biological.
Definitely mate
Would fill a lot quicker if you took the spray nozzle off the hose.
Would still hold the same amount of water though
Mountain Tree has a logo designed in the 90s and printed on a dot matrix printer.
Great gear though !
Thanks for the info! I like there logo
Look out now James is bk. Oih oih the grow on pond is looking the absolute hammer. Can't wait to see some koi in there.
Definitely mate
Hi James , as you was walking around the new pond I noticed where you have your pipework from the pond you don't have a grate over the in/out lets to stop the fishing being sucked in🤦♂🤦♂😂😂
One I do need to cover mate but the other is pushing water and the koi will not swim up mate well I hope they don’t lol 😂
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 Yeah i know you have flow and return , would need to be bloody strong fish lol😂😂
Looking great as usual, James. Just a heads up, all those bubbles you see under the surface do little to nothing to add oxygen to your pond. Now when those bubbles break or agitate the surface water, that is when disolved oxygen is being added to the water column. Your shower is probably providing more oxygen (when it breaks the surface) than that airstone is when turned down low. Dissolved oxygen levels can be measured and are critical to the well being of your fish. Turn them up at night.
Good info I am pumping 80l of air init the bio as well that really helps I think
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 it will help. Just remember when surface water is being agitated, that's when oxygen is being introduced. When you had your airstone turned way up and the surface water was reacting violently you were introducing a lot of oxygen to the pond. Low oxygen levels bring about stress which weakens immune systems and leaves fish vulnerable to disease and parasites. Another important topic to think about when buying an aquarium or building a pond is surface area, this is critical for the exchange of noxious gases in your water column, a pond that is deep with a small surface area is of poor design (I'm not saying yours is) but definitely something to read up on. One last thing you could consider incorporating to your ponds system is a protein skimmer or foam fractionator. This will greatly reduce the protein (that foam) in your pond. A skimmer would be a good project for you, easy to build but challenging to have work properly. You could find all necessary information on building one on line. I think you would enjoy the challenge. Sorry so wordy.
I would of took the labels of the filter bits
Not going to hurt can take them off easy if there is a problem though
Hi James I was wondering if you had a link or know what the valve is called which you turn your bottom drain up and down with 👍
I haven’t got a link but it’s a John gest fitting
I worked the volume out to be 2501 leters James.
Superb!
Looking good 👍. I recon the green matting will end up being clogged (i tried a similar thing). You could try the matting at 90deg so the flow goes along it, like a previous filter you tried a few years ago (but we won't go there 😉)
I don't see anything that can pass through a 60 micron drum clogging the green spiral matting 🤔
@@oliverskinner8962 you would be surprised, I have a drum 😉
@@garryrobson3634 so do I but I can't say I've ever stuck jap mat after it and I don't think jap mat or that m-tree spiral mat is even 300 micron let alone 60 micron so how on earth could it get blocked up with sub 59 micron particulates ? (Genuinely interested)
@oliverskinner8962 ok, let's see how james gets on after he starts feeding. I think the fines will collect in the matting 😉
@@garryrobson3634 I thought I replied but it didn't go through anyway I'm also interested to see what happens ! If it does indeed collect fines I'm adding a Jap matt chamber after my drum 🤣👍
How's the £500 budget looking?! 😂
was wondering that meself, sure he said he had a £500 budget, all that filter stuff must be really cheap :) :)
@@alecmartin2661 was just a joke, he said that was out the window ages ago!
He’s got 500 quids worth of media in his shower.
Yeah I noticed this went from "building a pond on a budget" to "building the most expensive pond you can" :D i mean I'm loving it, but it does put me in mind of how things "accidentally" morph when I tell my wife it'll be cheap ;)
Hi James couple of questions which skimmer is that please also link to air pump fittings and that air valve please great build bud 👍
???
I haven’t got a link mate but it’s all John gest fittings
Hi James could you please tell me where you got the bacteria house pendants from as I can’t not find them on there website
Well I hope they will get them on there soon email them and they should help you out mate
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 thanks for the reply James I appreciate it and I have just emailed them and see what there response is
Looks amazing mate great job 👏
Nice one James
2499 liter. Round it up to 2500 liter
I make it 2430 litres in the pond
550 gallons mate
Thanks mate
Congrats on getting the grow on pond filled James. The custom filter media looks great. How are you going to get over the floating mat issue? Maybe get some more of those extendable rods and run 2 the opposite way to the others to hold it in place? All the best buddy good to see you back 🔨🔨🔨
Could be a great idea mate
Well done james,looks awesome,cant wait for the fish
Yes mrs whisperer is of out koi shop this morning lol 😂
Looking mint that's the 🔨
❤
Great to see you back mate take it easy.looking the hammer now boy 🔨👊bosh
looking super pal any chance ya take 3 of my koi all 15 cm and the buggers wont grow there 1 year old now lol
Feed them 6 times a day they will grow if your water is good mate
Little and often we feed our koi 10 times a day ! We have 4 automatic feeders one in each corner so they don't know which one it will be coming from 😈 basically half a handful each hour from 10am to 8pm and I'm starting to doubt weather they're koi or actually piranha 😁 we use "Japan koi import" food (not the cheapest but they grow well on it and the colour enhancer actually works)
Will you still be on RUclips when this is all up and running? Seemed to disappear once your main pond was done
Yes last time I had problems this time it is going to be my job not just a hobby
About 2000 and something litres as 1m3 is a 1000 litres of water working in the water industry and working with meters pays off haha
Looking the business mate definitely need me some of that green matting 😉👌
Yea mate it’s good stuff you will have to pay me a visit mate
Looking good mate. Why don't you take the plastic off the mountain tree media. Is there a reason 🐇🐇🐇🔨🔨🔨🔨👍
No reason tbh just left it on lol
@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 👍 hope you are all well mate 👍
@@Mark-ir9gl yes mate doing ok been busy but it’s all good mate
Well done looks great , where did you get your coping stones from please ????
🤞
Great job it’s the hammer
You need to pumps mate… 1st on for the shower pulling from clean side of the drum 2nd for the boi pulling much slower
You know it's a combi right ? There's no media bypass, all water goes through the mountain tree media whether it goes to the shower or not.
@@oliverskinner8962 Yes fella I have 2x profidrum combi’s I get how they work lol
If you run k1 in the bio you want a dwell time so run around 5000 litres a hour and for a shower you want a min of 20k a hour ? So you would be sacrificing one of them!
You can install a tank connector on the clean side of the drum to supply the shower, a lot of people do this…
@@dannyte83 he could drill a 2" hole and fit a bulkhead fitting, it could void his warranty and even if it didn't the drum in that particular combi is very small and wouldn't handle the flow. I guess what passes through the moving bed will get finished off by the shower then perfect water will enter the pond 🤷♂️
Looks great, but disagree with ceramic v K1. Moving bed is way more efficient than static. 😊 Moving bed decimates ammonia and nitrites 👊
That’s a far comment time will tell with the test kit over a few months
You do get less dead zones in a moving bed chamber ! If only mountain tree would make a fluidised media like Oase Hel-X13 , Evolution Aqua K+ or Cockney koi KK3500 !
got 3 koi today 4 next week.thank ya mudda for the koi carp :o)❤
Fair play
👌👌🔨🔨🔨🔨
Got to love the hammer 🔨
I think I was spot on no leaks so it holds exactly what you put in James 😂😂
Love that mate
What a brilliant setup you have, your electricity bill must be massive.
Yea it’s not cheap but it’s what I love
NOW THEN BOI, something missing from the video 🤔 AMB, setups looking the 🔨 well done 👏 🙏🔨🐇🐰🔨
your rotary drum is a little small, how many gallons it can handle? the media chamber looks awesome
I believe 1500g but hopefully burtons will help me out there for my pond at 550g it will be well over kill
Can you build me one for £500 thanks 👍
£499 you got a deal
I just had my pond installed a bespoke timber pond the company didn't put enough supports started to bow as I filled it up so currently sat with empty pond after paying £1600 safe to say flatpackfishponds are shit as a company and the sausage running it doesn't give a shit or have the knowledge to build strong koi ponds stick to goldfish ponds bud.
Wish I went with fibre glass or brickwork now
@@mystickoi2024line the inside with 18mm structural grade OSB or plywood it won't take much pond water volume away and you can reuse your liner and underlay, problem solved 👍
Hey James all looking really and I’m chuffed for you that things have gone to plan. The sprocket gear that engages with the drum only looks to be meshing for a 1/3 of its width is that normal?!?
Hi James, by my calculations the difference between the starting and finishing meter readings is 2501.
Hope this helps ya buddy 🤞
Cool, thanks I will have to try and convert that to gallons ?
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 I thinks it’s around 550.14 gallons buddy
550 gallons
@@danharbun483 happy days thanks
I think you have got 1.800 liters
Really enjoyable episode JamesFYMFTR
