  • @carbon6597

    You need to run the defusers at night. This is when the oxygen levels are at the lowest. I run mine 8-10 months out of the year here in Tx. 8 hours at night. Make sure you are changing the air filters as needed. They will pick up dust and choke your pump out. I would recommend a full replacement pump as a backup. You will need it. Or a rebuild kit on hand. Also, blow down each line to the defuser by closing the other valves to keep your defuser heads clean every three months or so. They will clog if you don't blow them down. I've been using a defuser system for ten years on my pond. I find running the system 24/7 is overkill. You will be replacing pumps more often. I started taking oxygen level readings 24/7. The primary source of oxygen for a pond is from microscopic algae. You need sunlight to produce oxygen in the water. So running your pump at night is a must. Running it during the day when photosynthesis is releasing oxygen seems pointless. I use to run mine 24/7 but found no difference in just running it at night. Go talk to a biologist. I stocked Camelot Bell F1 10 years ago and I couldn't he happier. Good luck with your project.

    I was a heavy equipment operator and marina worker for 15 years until 2017. I just really enjoyed the documentation of this build so much. It reminded me of all the nuance of doing this kind of work, things I just let go of once I stopped doing that work myself. All the likes and praise for a job well done won’t match the satisfaction of the actual accomplishment felt from making it happen, but you and your crew really did a great job, and you’ve struck a great balance on the documentation side of telling the story while not delving unnecessarily deep into the details. I feel like anyone could watch this and appreciate it for different reasons. I hope you get many great years of enjoyment from this work

    From an avid viewer in Wales, I have to say this series is a gem. Theres so much more you could do to the area around the pond, adding nut and wild fruiting trees for the birds and other critters, flowers for insects, creating an entire heavenly ecosystem for wildlife of all sizes. Ive watched since you broke ground and enjoyed every moment. Love the suggestion elsewhere for Winston for the owls name, and would love a Bass called Llewellyn, the last Prince of Wales. Thank you for a year of genuine happiness and may all your future projects be as successful. Diolch yn fawr

    I have watched this series since day one. Waiting everyday to finally see updates. Its amazing the bass have been released. I lost my brother around a month and a half into your 5 acre pond project. We watched your videos together all the time, and he would've loved to see this. Do you the you could name one of the bass Chris for me? If not its cool, i just would really appreciate it if you did.

    I’m a huge fan of the channel and I’d like to thank you for putting in so much hard work and dedication to bring us fans such amazing content. I noticed that there hasn’t been a name for “T” yet, back home (Zimbabwe/south Africa) we have a fish called the Tiger fish. As the name suggests it’s a ferocious fish. I also happen to be a huge bass angler and I’ve had the fortune of catching plenty of both species. These mini Moby bass remind me very much of Tiger fish in terms of their aggression. I couldn’t believe my eyes when seeing them feeding in the bucket after undergoing transport and acclimation. Maybe one of them could be called Tiger?
    Thanks again for all of your hard work in bringing this content forwards for us all.

Then I realized that when the stocking of the bass the pond series is nearing its end. I really hope you still do some type of weekly pond videos not quite sure on what but I really do hope there is still weekly videos on this pond. Also everything that you have done with this property is absolutely amazing from the pond to the feeding of the wildlife to the cabin to the ducks. You have yourself an absolutely amazing property.
