I finally put the UV light back on the tempory pool and it took about 14days to be perfectly clear which would have been quicker if i hadn't broke the filters screens.
Like your videos, this one was relevant to me having had a UV issue recently. It does take longer to clear a really green pond than you'd think - like you say, the filter's got to sieve out all the dead algae and there's a lot of it !
Hi adam I hope you are doing well I have just discovered your channel and I am excited by your videos as me and my daughter and looking in to getting fry And growing them on Your videos are extremely helpful thankyou
I love my nexus 220. I think I enjoy cleaning the nexus more than keeping the koi haha. My micro k1 has never got as hard as yours but that’s probably because I like to clean mine daily. Some nice fish in that holding tank and great that you can now see them
The 25w Yamitsu Algae Master unit on our 900-ish gallon pond has given us some grief lately after 15 years of pretty much faultless service. Waiting on a new electrics pack for it currently, up to now we've only changed the bulb 3 or 4 times and the quartz once. Still only using a mega black box filter, would love to rebuild it all someday with a bottom drain, drum filter and a small bog, but that'll have to wait for the numbers to come up right, lol!
Check your water hardness and calcium concentration in the system with the sticking K1 media problem, you may have a build up of limescale on the media causing it to cling together. Or anyother way this can happen is if you are using a flocculant or other substance to bind micro particles together into a larger particle so the filter can remove it, in chemical form these substances can get quite sticky and in our swimming pool filters at work it builds up a layer of slime on top of the filter sand and clogs it, which means we have to back wash to loosen it all up and send it to drain. A system that runs UV could have a similar effect, except its not going to produce a residual slime so its much less likely to clog your system but it could still be clogging the K1 media with binded micro particle caused by the UV doing its job. It may just mean your systems running the UV require more frequent backwashing. The only other solution is to run no UV and put canopy's over your outside tanks so the water is not exposed to direct sunlight. But imo UV is the way forward as its benefits outweight the flaws and maintenance uptake.
Hi Adam. I have a few koi that I’ve had for nearly 3 years now but just don’t seem to grow. Biggest is sort of 25cm. Bought them at about 5cm but just wondered if this is normal or not. If it’s not normal what can I do to get them to grow bigger. Water quality is great, it is a small 700 litre pond but will be rebuilding much bigger soon
Hi Adam,at that stage that will be doing a pond rebuild end of this year and it next.Currently pond is around 8000 litres running a multibay which i modified to have moving bed of K1.Got 10 koi which will be added to with bigger pond,.Really unsure about filteration going forward don't want to spend 3K on a drum and tempted by nexus 220 but like you cleaning is not my favourite past time.Not sure if filtreau drum looks cheap even though its 1K.How did you find it?Or would Nexus 220 be btter route?
It's rather ironic that the algae is caused by uv rays from the sun yet we use concentrated uv rays via things like the EVO to get rid of algae. Thank goodness some one thought of uv units for ponds. 👍🏻
@@AdamJulyan it passes by so close to the uv light that the nucleus in the algae cell is destroyed and therefore cannot divide and grow. Great video as always, you're spoiled with all the room you have and nice big garden. I'm GREEN with envy. 😉👍
I't depends how much sun light you get the 35w is probably fine but if you have a problem with green a 55w would do although 110w would be overkill but might be required if the pond has no shade at all through the day.
I need help with a pond I have with no filters in yet. I have bought a filter with UV light but have no idea how to fit it and need help and expert advice
Your telling someone not to be themselves on their own channel which has a huge fan base. My suggestion is that if you can't understand him somehow then don't watch. Some people 🤬🤣 🤣

I have been enjoying binge watching your vids, look forward to more, best wishes.
Great update Adam 👍 my pond cleared up from hulk green to clear in 5 days after switching the 55w uv on 👍
Cheers for the update Adam, useful info as always. Them 75w bulbs are a pain in the rear to get hold of. Have a great Sunday.
Thanks, you too!
Hi adam I hope you are doing well
I have just discovered your channel and I am excited by your videos as me and my daughter and looking in to getting fry
And growing them on
Your videos are extremely helpful thankyou
Great video mate , keep them coming 👍

You strange person 😂 I don't like cleaning it daily but i do need to probably get a better routine rather than waiting until its blocked.
looking good

Some cracking fish there!
Love it
Fishies! 🐟🐟
Nice 1 mate saved me getting 1of those uv’s, probably get the 110👍

Those are big friendly fish!
Belting mate Adam good tips on 55w
Thanks 👍
What do you do with all koi ? , nice to see you back YouTubing 👍👍

I just put in a new UV bulb actually and it took my pond about 10 days
It's rather ironic that the algae is caused by uv rays from the sun yet we use concentrated uv rays via things like the EVO to get rid of algae. Thank goodness some one thought of uv units for ponds. 👍🏻
Yeah never thought of it like that i wonder what the UV bulb actually does to the algae that the sun doesn't.
@@AdamJulyan it passes by so close to the uv light that the nucleus in the algae cell is destroyed and therefore cannot divide and grow. Great video as always, you're spoiled with all the room you have and nice big garden. I'm GREEN with envy. 😉👍
What size uv would you recommend for a 10,000 pond? I run two 35 watt bulbs do you think two 55 watt bulbs would be better?
I't depends how much sun light you get the 35w is probably fine but if you have a problem with green a 55w would do although 110w would be overkill but might be required if the pond has no shade at all through the day.
@@AdamJulyan thanks for the help it has no shade but I am going to build a roof over the top in the next few weeks
Do u sell your fish. Seems like you raise so many
With a pond that size barely straw is enough similar size to my pond old cattle trough mine only use barley straw
I used to use that years ago although it seamed like the more you used it the less effect it had.
What’s the dimensions of your main tank please? :)
Hi adam. I am having to close pond down due to house move. Live in Barnsley. Wondered if you wanted to take my koi?? Let me know
I need help with a pond I have with no filters in yet. I have bought a filter with UV light but have no idea how to fit it and need help and expert advice
Adam I wonder if you can help me but I don't have much money. Seeing your knowledge and passion I think you can give me good unbiased advice
What do you do with all the koi you have
Sell some, keep some, mostly just a fish hoarder 😂
No idea why you have a temporary pond, I would just enjoy the indoor one.
it's because I'm silly 🙂
@@AdamJulyan lol. All that stress. But you have a crazy amount of koi I have 3 and goldfish
More videos
Hi when are you putting a video out thanks
In the new year ive done quite a few videos and not finished any of them yet so hopefully should have plenty of things for the new year.
OK thank you can't wait
I used my M18 Milwaukee impact driver on a rubber boot and it broke the jubilee clip 😐
😂 yeah i set it so it cuts out about as tight as i can do it by hand.
New food video 📹 please 💙 🙏
Buddy try to speak in news mode, it's difficult to figure out your accent.
