Looking good Paul 👌👌 and how tidy is your pipework 👍👍👍 won't be long before you can sit back and enjoy a job well done ....stay safe 🌈🌈🌈 and keep up the good work and of course the videos !!!
Make sure you borrow or buy a flow meter before the fill so you know the exact gallonage. Handy to know when using treatments or working out optimum flow rates etc!
Hi Paul glad to see the G4 is working out for you, personally I wouldn't use it up on the walls any higher than you have, cos it's sods law you'll think of somewhere else you could have used it lol, and as you know it's not cheap, also you could have it as a backup for your windows, but fingers crossed it won't be needed. Rob.
Very good progress Paul. You can buy a nexus waste pipe kit of ebay which joins those 2 pipes into 1 pipe. Would save having 2 pipes running into the sump. The smaller one hardly gets used anyway matey. I got one and it was cheaper that the official kit from EA. Just need gluing together. Hope you have had the same nice weather as us here. Cheers.
yes mate i saw the kit and i know the small waste will probably not get used much, going to be buried anyway and i already had some of the pipe...cheers buddy
@@PaulsKoipond That's all good then. Just watched the video again and noticed you have a connector screwed on the pump (the one that came with the pump) It looks like you had that in the rubber boot from the nexus to line up your white return pipes. I might be wrong but if that's the case, that connector is screwed on the outlet not the inlet of the pump. I'm Probably wrong but just thought I'd mention it in-case it is wrong then at least you can change it before gluing it. Cheers.
@@Simonsimps got all that in the box mate....did have a bad night sleep because it suddenly dawned on me that i haven't accounted for my uv light.. I will have to check the flow rates through it or maybe put it in the skimmer line instead...cheers bud
Great video Paul.. I don't have a bottom drain as they still scare the hell out of me.. Especially bursting pipes in our winters. So I am undecided on the eazy pod or the 200.. I can get either one from a friend.. I want to still use my filter falls and may add a few barrel filters.. But the pump size I would need for the nexus 200 might be a bit much given the amount of projects I will have going on.. Redoing living room.. New furniture.. Painting and doing shiplap ceiling.. Plus plus
@@PaulsKoipond Or the curb as my wife would be kicking me to it if I don't get some new furniture.. See we gave our living room furniture away to family thinking we would get some new stuff.. Then the stay at home order came in.. We have been sitting on lawn furniture for months like college kids. Except we dont have the backs for that crap stuff anymore
Now pal looking good now mate the tip round near me the same make a appointment its abit of a knightmare at the moment. But yea your ponds looking good keep the videos coming pal
@@PaulsKoipond i used to fibreglass roofs for a living looks easy but when you watch it been done but youve got to make sure you use the right amount of catalyst and before the flow coat give it a good sand make sure theres no little sharp bits sticking through
@@PaulsKoipond the key is to be quick before the resin goes off is cutt the fiber glass matting down to size before starting set them out so you can resin the wall up then laid the matting then roll the resin in like i say once youve done first stage after its gone off make sure you sand it flat it gives it a key for the flow coat and you dont want any sharp bits for you koi to catch themselves on mate good luck cant wait to see it
Just got a nexus,can confirm what pump and air pump u using,not what to do with the waste water, might use a pump to get rid,will I need a special pump or will a pond pump work on a switch?
the equipment i use is evo aqua 10000 varipump ( you can turn it up or down) 80 ltr minute air pump 4 inch bottom drain with air diffuser all waste water goes into a pit under my church which gets pumped around garden to feed plants....on a waste water pump which will be on a switch hope this helps mate
Bought it on ebay buddy...think i paid £149...its the one with the air diffuser....Bought all the pipework online from plasticpipeshop.co.uk....hope this help mate
@@PaulsKoipond no sorry mate! Just wondered as I might change my pond put in a bottom drain and have a go at fibre glassing it! I’ll look forward to when you do it and see how it works!
Looking good Paul 👍

You can get black 1/12 inch black solvent weld pipe at wickes Paul, looking good. Cheers 👍
Its 2 inch mate and i think i looked....doesn't matter as i could always paint them if i get fed up of white
@@PaulsKoipond ah soz Paul didn’t realise,white be fine to be fair

Hi...iam from indonesia
Very nice to meet you jhosevin and thankyou my new friend for watching my videos 🙏
Hi Paul ponds looking good. Did you put a Flash for the bottom drain.
Dont know what that is buddy
@@PaulsKoipond I think he probably means “flush”
Just got a nexus,can confirm what pump and air pump u using,not what to do with the waste water, might use a pump to get rid,will I need a special pump or will a pond pump work on a switch?
Also bottom drain
the equipment i use is
evo aqua 10000 varipump ( you can turn it up or down)
80 ltr minute air pump
4 inch bottom drain with air diffuser
all waste water goes into a pit under my church which gets pumped around garden to feed plants....on a waste water pump which will be on a switch
hope this helps mate
Can I ask where you got your bottom drain from
Bought it on ebay buddy...think i paid £149...its the one with the air diffuser....Bought all the pipework online from plasticpipeshop.co.uk....hope this help mate
We're did you get you pipes and bottom drain from?
Hi mate...i bought aeration bottom drain from ebay and all the pipework i needed was from plasticpipeshop.co.uk....hope this helps buddy
Personally i would not use fiberglass for a pool a aquarium or a pond.
Why not buddy..dont you like it
If only your koi can watch your progress 📺. They wouldn’t be able to contain themselves!!!
Took a cover of the temporary pond today as sun was out and they loved it...kept calling me bob though mate as i can lip read them🤣
Are you fibre glassing it yourself mate!
Yes mate...any tips 👍
@@PaulsKoipond no sorry mate! Just wondered as I might change my pond put in a bottom drain and have a go at fibre glassing it! I’ll look forward to when you do it and see how it works!
@@neilp3406 nice ...take some pictures and show me buddy..i do like to see other people's ideas
@@PaulsKoipond will do 👍🏻 watching your videos makes me think of ideas I could do with mine lol
