    Hi Keith , I'm in Stoke, North facing shady garden, my pond temp now down to 12c, my max this year was two days at 18, but still managed some growth and still feeding three times a day even at 12c . It's been a horrible year for unheated pond's here much better for those lucky enough to be in the south.

I wouldn't expect anything other with a super mango, if that was at 24c you'd be getting 1cm per month min, so 11cm of 5 months isn't great tbh. Could have achieved double what is has min, in comparison. But if you're happy that's all that matters.

    Thanks for testing the 20 mesh out Keith. I will probably add it to the line up as it looks like it's still collecting muck even at that size aperture. I've successfully tested the overflow on mine when fully blocked, but it's pump fed. I don't think that it will work on Gravity, as the water level won't go higher than the level of the pond, but let me know if you do see different. Thanks again, Ian

    I believe people having problems with nitrite and stuff have probably used parasite treatments that knocks you beneficial bacteria for six. Also the changes in temperature we've been having might affect people with bakki showers whereas a K1 moving bed will keep a more constant temperature and not fluctuate which is better for the growth of beneficial bacteria 👍👍

    • @KoiKicks
      @KoiKicks Před měsícem
