      I'm still on the fence on whether or not to hold back on the fish until spring and run a fish-less cycle on it through winter.

      @@LeTwistedOne through winter time too though? See my last pond was a summer pond so matured really quick. This one I'll be very surprised if the water temp gets above 6/7c now. I'm more than happy to consider all others advice & opinions though. 👍

    Great job👍 All coming on a treat👍😊. Not seen that Oase pump before but will no doubt it will do the trick🤞. Sounds like your drum is not fitted square in the casing but guess it could be a number of things, best contact the manufacturer just to check that it was just the gasket? You’re doing a grand job so keep up the good work👍🈲🐟🤞😊

      yes the pump itself is more designed for irrigation etc, pumping at a pressure of around 4.2Bar. But it does the exact same job as the pressure pumps that is usually supplied with the drums.
      I'm going to contact a supplier that is the main importer of filtreau drums to check with them, from what i've heard, a few others have had a similar issue. Thanks alot👌👍

    Hi, just subbed your channel, I believe aquasource synergy drums now ship with that Oase cleaning pump, got some catching up on your videos to do, but good luck other rest of the build.

    Watch out for the waste tray being pulled against the drum when you attach the wast pipework. The tendency is for it to catch and click on the drum making it all shudder when it turns

    Rather than just have an isolation valve for heater better to have a complete bypass line to allow different flow rates or maintenance
