Been there, done that Adam, although you kept dryer than me. I got absolutely soaked, mind you, the tank was a lot bigger and I didn't realise at the time the amount of pressure in the bottom drain. So much so, when I undone the drain cap (to let it just seep out), it shot off, knocked me over and got me soaked, whilst everyone stood around laughing lol. Nothing more satisfying that a good reorganisation/refresh of the system. I hate them switch boxes too, so have a bank of plug sockets, so much simpler. Have a good week mate, nice to hear what you are getting up to. Have a fab week bud. 👍
Always great to have an update on all your fish 👍🏻 You are so right about when things go wrong, it's often in the early hours, wet etc Easy to swap air pumps, pumps makes life so much easier at 2am !
I bought all my fry(250 about 1 inch) from cuttlebrook and only had a problem when my pond failed they are nice fish had mine about 5 years some of them have made it to 2 foot the rest are at least 1 foot I have also bought fish from CarpCo that were 2-3 inches and again amazing fish I would love to have the space you have to buy more fish absolutely love just watching them the videos you put up have helped me alot so keep it up and thank you
Great suggestion on having separate circuits on the pond for the water pump, air pump, etc. I've done that for years now so if the water pump circuit trips the air keeps running and vice versa. Having everything on plugs rather than hard wired is also a much better idea. Here in Canada 99% of our pond related products all come equipped with plugs so connecting them is a no brainer. I'm guessing the reason is that our power supply here in 110 or 115 volts where as in the UK (I believe) yours is 240 volts. Looking forward to your next video. Always something interesting at your place.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah it can make life a lot easier having everything on sockets the main reason lots of pond things don't have plugs is because all the companies want you to buy their expensive switch box. Yeah we run 230-240v in UK it makes life a lot easier for ponds but slightly less safe.
Question: you still got the superfish pumps? Mine keeps turning off. When I open it it is really clean. Got it replaced twice under warranty but still it stops.
Yeah ive had two pack in of about 8 ive had and they both just stoped and wouldn't run again. Ive also had a few that wouldn't run because blocked and just too much stuff stuck behind the impellor although didn't look blocked they ran better once cleared out. They are good pumps for the price although I won't run them on my main pond.
love it ponds are that much of a headache that you have paracetamol on hand and at quick access not even pondlyfe is free of wire spaggetti lol good seeing an update Adam keep up the good work he says as he breaks down a monster fish tank and down sizes lol
Very valuable advice so ignore it at your peril! Enjoyed looking at your fish again. Thanks
I just love your videos , full of content

Yeah I was absolutely amazed it went so smoothly usually it doesn't go well especially if I'm filming.
Thanks hope you have a great week too.
