Morning Andy, another cracking video👍😊. Filter house is looking super with that ceiling and 5he pipe supports look great👍😊. Looking forward to seeing the living roof going on….great idea👍😊. Keep up 5he good work👍🈲🐟😊
Zero carnage was caused in the making of this video lol. Top job Andy, take care 🐟😎👍🏼
A Saturday morning with no carnage Andy what's happening ⁉️😂😂😂
Pipework looks the Shizznit bruva 👌👌👌
Haha i know, dont worry its on its way lol Next Saturday!!
@@koidiaries 😂😂😂😂😂sweeeeeeet
Great work Andy...." opinions are like ".....you know the rest. Entertainment at It's finest 👏👏
Nice to see the pipes on proper brackets have a good week mate
I'm the same mate I have to get the Mrs or daughter to read my tests although I do use a bluelab pH now and the good thing with that one if it needs calibrating it let's you know .
I've just had my new favorite mug come in the post 😍😍 thanks so much mate I'm chuffed to bits 😀👍
Great video Andy. Yeh it could go horribly wrong - dont say that mate!
Always things to do ay.
Sure can hear that water flowing around 💦💦💦👍👍👍👊
that Shiro looks so much better looking down on it rather than the window
Hey up Andy, if you can,get Lee back and put a couple of small windows in.will help with moisture no electric.glad to see no bikes in your filter house lol
Most bathroom style extractor fans are designed to be run intermittantly, and ship large volumes of air.
great in summer, but large volumes of cold air in winter non stop will chill the room.
I use a 0.13 amp 12v PC fan for extraction in my filterhouse, and I run a QK maxi shower...and have no condensation now.
As always - a great upload that brings a smile 👍🏼 Hope you are well 😁
Pipe supports look spot on. But nerve wracking knocking that wood out. Hope you find the issue with your fish. All looking happy and active atleast
Getting better in every video Andy. Have a great weekend buddy.🚲🚲🚲
You made me chuckle there mate Im colour blind too so I have to get the mrs or my 4 year old daughter to help me with the test kit. Couldn't be bothered calibrating n all that. Another good vid to watch 🐟👍
Ha yup its a right pain aye!
Well done Mr daily 👏🏼
Ideally the extractor fan would be as close to the shower as possible but unless you go through the ceiling you will see it outside, you could have an inline extractor (which are much better than wall mounted imo) and have a pipe internally to the other end of the room and out through the back wall. (Solid pipe ducting as the flexible stuff is rubbish).
Enjoy the weekend buddy 👍🏼
YEah solid pipe makes the extraction of air much more efficient as ive read online. Its on the list to do, just thrown a spanner in my current roof project lol nothing like make jobs aye!!
@@koidiaries I boiled my brain over extractor fans a few years ago in our old house 🤣.
Just make sure the pipework has a slight fall from the fan to the outside so any water runs outside. 👍🏼👍🏼
Fairplay every little thing completed makes that filter house look wicked 😉👌
Hi Andy, some fan info
This is calculated by multiplying length by width by height. Let's take an average measurement: 3m long x 2m wide x 2.4m high = 14.4 cubic metres. This means that in order to change the air in that room once an hour, a fan would have an extraction rate of 14m3/h. Building Regulations require rate 4 air changes per hour, so we multiply that by 4, giving us a rate of 56m3/h or 15l/s.
Yeah thats the information id got online with regards to regs and fan requirements. Most 100mm bathrom fans are around 80m3/h so about right for my application based on 4x air changes an hour. Im toying with a few other things so its not on my must do list yet! Ive decided i need to rebuild the pergola! You'll see the conundrum next week lol :-)
you may want to think about putting a door stop on the floor of the filter house so the door cant swing too far open and hit the pipes you have just supported that run from your shower
I'm going with bacterial in my pond all the tric and fluke last year right up to the temps dropping set them with low immune system already .. treating with virkon at the moment vast improvement in behaviour i would give that a go it won't do any harm anyway
nice one andy , fish looking good ,always got be the one , got love bit of pipework work
Hey Andy what a great idea 💡 on you pipe supports looks awesome and did a cracking job 👍
Cheers, a job that didnt cause a million other jobs or too much stress for once lol
@@koidiaries always nice 🤣👍
Hi Andy I had the same problem with condensation try a desk fan it worked for me extractor fan will take all the warm air
14:10 Fragments of undigested stool floating on the surface.We are taught first and foremost to try and prevent this from happening, but I can't help but feel that we are operating in a totally different way, not just at feeding period, but in the UK as we see this happening elsewhere too？？？
M10 rod can take 1 tonne in tension so in compression it would be alot more but can bend if not completely vertical but you should be OK
I would put an extractor fan high level on the right side as you walk in with a flex and simply plug it in to one of those sockets. A 6 inch clip on circulation fan would be beneficial too to mix the rooms air.
I had a £160 hanna ph tester, tbh it's crap, inconsistent wasn't the word, plus if you don't store it in the correct probe solution its dead and the only way to fix it is to buy a £90 replacement prob for it, I gave up with it and there expensive calibration solutions.
Been using the blue lab guardian for nearly a year, doesn't miss a beat, calibrate monthly when the alarm flash's (not that its ever out anyway), give the prob a quick clean with a soft brush once a week and because its always in water there no risk of killing the prob which are only £50 and last around 2 years.
see how things go if no improvement salt your pond again, i salt every autumn through till march at 0.3 I've been doing this for years and touch wood i haven't had any problems apart from the odd carp pox, I'm unheated.
Hi Andy, me again, rather than digging hole at each post and pouring concrete you might be better fitting fence spurs🤓
Yeah, i think when the pear tree has given up im going to re do the whole fence, but for now ive put a spur on the post near the tree and i dug out the far end proper, and replaced the post as it was bust! Fence been in 15 years and i did it so im suprised its lasted so long lol.
Virkon tablets seem to be quite a popular treatment, I thought they were more for sterilising than anti bacterial or have I got it wrong?
Pergola next week??? OMG 😱 😱😱
Great video mate fish are looking beautiful on the one koi it could be white spot or just Pops hopefully it's just pox👍👍
Yeah i think its pox, ill just keep an eye on it as scrapes were clear so hopefully itll just disappear
Hi Andy, I had same white spots on my sanke,it looks like white spot parasites, I treated with f.m.g and cleared within a couple of days.
Mate you should've got the exact idip rather than buying all them hannah checkers. I have had mine a while now and love it 👍 looks like carp pox on the kohaku tail. Funny only 1 of my koi have pox the rest are fine 👍
Excellent work! See, you are good ☺️ might be worth adding one one the right of the longer pipe after the elbow.
Random thought, have you checked for nitrates in case it is what makes the shiro Utsuri pink?
LOL dunno about "good", more like ill have a go! ITs rock solid so im sure it will be fineremember the other end is in the wall and its all pressure pipe so thats solid too. I think ive found the problem, ill talk about it it in next weeks video. :-)
Hi Andy, going back to my days of having an aquarium rather than a pond having had white spot, the fish not me, white spot is a contagious parasitic disease of fish. Caused by Ichyophthirius multifilis, the parasite infects the fish after moving from the bottom of the pond. Maybe maybe not?
I think not,well i hope so, ive scraped a few fish now including the Kohaku and its not that, as someone else mentioned probably pox. I happy no parasites have been found though so its a positive for sure! We'll see, monitor it and then see i suppose
Fish are looking awesome. Could that possibly be carp pox on the kohaku's tail? New pipe supports working a treat and looking very professional. 👍🏻 Wish I had a filter house that looked like that. Cheers.
Yeah i think its pox tbh, and cheers yeah i love it, overkill one space but better to be bigger than not quite enough room lol
Could use some uni strut cantilever mate off wall or floor as an option? Mudpro more for hanging
Yeah could of, but i think these work well, its rock solid so im happy. Cheers
@@koidiaries yeah deffo enough to carry the load if water through pipes isn’t vibrating etc, the uni strut would of removed the squeaky bum time, love your channel
Love the filter house and how big it is. Does dpd measure free chlorine, chloramine, or both?
DPD4 is for total Chlorine, you can get other DPD tablets for different test. A quick google will give you all the correct info
Pipework all looking good, I would, however, put a further rod on the nearest pipe at the elbow. Just me I guess. Carp pox on the tail. Looking forward to that roof, it should be a simple job 😳
Mate roof was a doddle, lol Looks good now its rained! Still some fascia to do, but im now fighting in my head about doinf the pond roof too FFS! Hmmmm
Hi ya mate I have the hanna ph tester and I’m not keen either I just thought it was me being let’s say not the best with anything digital 😂
Yeah im not convinced its the best tool for the job! I think the API give you a roungh idea so you can see if the pH has moved up or down, thats good enough for me i think.
@@koidiaries yeah I have other testers from hanna like nitrite and what not and I really like them but not so sure of the ph tester don’t know if I’m using it wrong or it’s just not consistent?
Can't you just put a lid on the shower?
Isnt Vieny sign of stress 🙂iv got 1 with white spots on tail , what baterial treatment did you use ? Tho all scrapes are good 😀
Yes deffo, temperature can do it sometimes but as im still at 15c its not that! I think i have found the issue, i'll talk about it next week
amzn.to/3LcofXr this is what i treated with, i dropped 3 tablets in the drum and just let them dissolve over time
@@koidiaries cant wait iv got couple with white spots just on tail not bad bad tho and 1 looking vieny wonder if lack of uv does it .... were both covered ect
Whats pond at now andy
Temp? If so im still holding 15c with 1 feed per day just when im checking them
