- This video shows me removing my QT tank it was a lot worse than i expected and it's pretty amazing it didn't just fall to pieces. The reason it help up so long was probably due to the thick fiberglass.
Considering the condition of the wood it was a good thing that the fibreglass was as strong as it was otherwise the entire tank might have collapsed. You definitely made the right choice to tear it down. 👍🏻
What a shame Adam, another great post well done mate, it’s a great decision not to build a new one in there. I’ve fitted a Bakker river with siperax on the strength of yours. All the best Rob 🤩👍
Looking forward to the future content Adam, I always pick up some great tips watching your video's. You and the family have a great weekend. 👍
Brilliant video mate 👏🏼 I have seriously missed the Adam uploads every Sunday. Its not a proper Sunday without a video from you 🐟😎👍🏻
Thanks 🙂
About time you made one bud ???
@1kewldude2 very true 👍🏻
Thanks Adam an interesting video. Loved seeing your fish! They're looking good. 😊
Thanks 🙂
Roughly how many fish have you got Adam...my guess is alot ! Always like watching your videos 🙂
stunning pond 🎉
Jist put the temporary tanks in there too help with heat cost .the big tank my fav
im sure you will use the building soon mate, i know i wouldnt be able to not use the space
A big ask to retain that amount of water even with fibreglass reinforcement.
The room where you took the tank out of,why don't you put all your drum filters in it
Back when you first put this in I sent you a message telling you that you had no way of knowing what is going on with water going down behind. You needed to make sure the whole thing was fully sealed. I also have a similar pond in my shed that I built from wood, but it has a brickwork retaining wall on the front. It was the first Koi pond I built and works fine, but I have learned over the years that ponds like this (5,000L) don't really work for raising fish. You just can't feed them the way you need to for them to grow without creating problems. What do you think?
Yeah I agree 100% should have done more to protect the wood work like i said it should have been fiberglass on the outside if that had been done it would have still been like new.
The tank it's seamed to be a good size although the fish would never really grow very much in there they grew a lot better in my 400gal tank than this 1000gal tank I can't really say why that was. the reasons for them not growing as much could be as simple as food because the 400gal tank was in the fish house where i spend a lot of time I just put food in every time the fish ask for it but In the 1000gal they only got fed when i made the trip to go see them.
Hi Adam great video thanks, I have a 3500 gallon fiberglass pond that has a leak and I'm trying to think how to build a temp pond to house my 19 koi for a few months some of the fish are 25 years so I don't want to lose any. Any ideas you have greatly appreciated appreciated appreciated
Swimming pools are the cheapest temporary ponds just give them a good wash before first fill.
Build a glass tank and be done with it. Might even be cheaper.
Wood and water still don’t go together then Adam 🤣🤷🏼♂️
Nope if only I had known that 5 years ago 🙁 learn something new everyday 🙂
Probably be better to use real way sleepers to build a box and then use rubber liner on the inside. Last forever
How much impact has the energy rises put on the upkeep of the ponds heat.what was it before to now kind of thing
A lot, ponds are quite high consumers of electricity they run 24/7 and you cant turn anything off. when i built the fish house 9 years ago energy companies would try to give their best price possible to get one customer that uses as much electricity as we did so i managed to get on a 8p/Kw energy tariff now I'm paying 32p/kw so its gone up a bit.
What do you do with all the fish are you selling them
Yeah I will
fish
Start selling your fish lol
