Beautiful place ❤❤

Hi pal I changed my job last year after 23 years, life is about change we’re not here for that long, enjoy your work whatever you do. I only live up the road near Tingley roundabout we have about 5” of snow.

Looks great! What did you use to attach the xps foam boards to the sleepers? Thanks

Hi, i'm Rosnani from Muslima 😊

Just so you know, a shorter pipe run would increase flow a lot. Looks superb very nice job

GG

Looks good that mate 👍

Very interesting, thankyou 🙂

It's looking good, have you tried swapping the green and blue sponges around as the coarse blue sponge should ideally be in front of the green one so that the green sponge doesn't block up as quickly. Also it doesn't seem like the brushes are doing anything, you could replace them with more sponges, Swell UK sell packs of 11"x17" with not 1 but 2 fine sponges that would give you 3 and make the water even clearer with less maintenance needed on the wetland side of the filter !

Replay crew. Wanted to drop in and leave a 👍 I hope you are feeling better Gardens are looking good. Tetra is big over here but I haven't used it in some time. 8 is nice lol Thanks again for the mug

Missed ye live stream mate, hope to catch you on the next one 😉

Nice update mate

Congrats on reaching 1000 ! 👏🏼🎉

Came over from my other channel and subscribed cheers martyn

Think that should do it paul 👍

I will give you a shout out paul buddy

Sorry you have not been well glad your back

So sorry dude but that net exaggerated the problem the heron can't understand why they won't come out so damaged every fish if no net it would have had its breakfast and left you have to live and learn net should be raised well of the pond and tight

Hope you’re feeling a lot better

Sorry to hear you have been ill Glad your back

Glad to see you back buddy 👍👍

Hope you're feeling better ! It seems to be working well as a pre-filter and so easy to clean, you get drips with cheap pressure filters too but I've heard the tempest leaks as well (even the updated valve they now ship with). How are the fish doing ? ours are still eating like little water piglets 😆 I'm sure they've grown since your last video ! We feed Japan Koi Import food with colour enhancer, I've also heard Takazumi food is good but unfortunately it is too small in pellet size for our koi ! HumberKoi used it and it gave good growth and low waste on the pond floor.

Back in early 80 our pond fish vanished over 3 days. We had them 10 years. My only concern having a outside pond was cats and birds.

Hello

Great appraisal - I've had mine fitted for about a month now (open-air pond approx 1300 gallon - so on the boundaries of what this can cope with). I use mine as a 1st stage (replaces a large vortex leading to a conventional 4 stage filter) and so far have found it all works really well. As this is now preventing so much crud reaching my main filter I'm now thinking of changing my filter's brush section to being a moving-bed with Hel-x13 media, which then passes to a static-bed section. My other "bright idea" (ha!) is to get a 2nd Surge and run them in tandem to slow the flow rate and catch even more crud. Any thoughts or comments are welcome ...

"He is half alive". Well put him in well oxygenated water. See if they recover. I had heron and mink issues here in Canada, I built a wood frame with 1" x 2" wood crisscrossing the pond which holds up the net. Give the fish something like a pipe that they can swim into to hide. The heron will be back, it knows there are fish there. I built a new pond, 4ft deep, and a wall that was 2,5ft above ground. Mink got into my new pond, caught a fish, then went into panic when it could not climb out because of the wall. The wall is too high for the heron to effectively catch from, nothing to walk on in the pond so it could not catch fish. Learn from mistakes. Good luck, don't give up.

You need to sandwich the liner in the gasket thats why rhe two are joined

Appreciated this detailed review. Re the electrics, an easier way to extend, or cut & rejoin to feed through, either of those cables is to just use an outdoor inline connector which you can get off Amazon. Very easy to fit if you can strip a cable correctly and get the right size for the cable.

Do you think you could use this after an eazypod? So bottom drain into eazypod and then pumped out of the pod through the surge and back into the pond?

How often do the filters need cleaning ?

Thanks for the overview of the skimmer mate, not much info available online so this was helpful 👍🏻👍🏻

Glad to see it finished with the fish in they look very happy with their new residence you have done a great job

Nice mate

👍💯😎🇨🇦😄. I always like to see what upgrades you have done..Give me some ideas Nice depth of the pond

Looks very nice 🙂 great video

Hello i just purchased a surge and the pump as a set and was looking at doing something similar to what you have done. i have a DIY wheelie bin fitler at the minute with a bog filter but i never had a UV and with the summer we having in the UK my water is really green so i thought thhis would be the ideal product for me. My question is my pond is 5000 Litres and with the head room etc i need to be running my pump atleast 5000 - 6000lph if i was to split the intake like you have done so half goes in to the surge the other half in to my diy filters can i get away with upping the flow rate to 5000 - 6000?

Great video .. just purchased myself one .. can’t wait new subscriber 🙂

I don't know whether you are in north or south Yorkshire but if you can id recommend taking a trip to Queni Koi Limited near Leicester it's one of the best places I've been to and they have some stunning fish even you buy one or two in the £50-70 price bracket you won't be disappointed and it's almost end of season so they might have some offers on (you can always haggle lol) anyway it's definitely a place I'd do a video tour around if I had a channel and I bet a title like " Queni Koi Limited walk around tour 2024" would get a lot of new viewers as it's a popular place especially for drum filters ! Obviously you'll have to contact them beforehand and ask if you can film but even if they say no you could take a few cheeky photos 😂 but it might be nice to add one or two high quality koi and they're definitely high quality at Queni Koi Limited 👌

Just came across this review whilst looking for details and opinions on the Surge, one thing you’ve overlooked about the throughput is the need for maximum contact time to kill the algae spores, personally I would suggest people consider running at the 2500lph to take the best advantage of this inbuilt UVC.

Hi it’s Randalf666 here (Nick) there’s some great prizes there, although I’ve finished my pond a couple of years ago and just re-modelled my own filter system as such there isn’t anything I could genuinely make us of. Maybe you could let the person who was 2nd have a choice of a prize 🏆 and have have use of one of the items. I enjoy watching your videos from your first build to the dreaded heron attack and was great watching you get stuck in and rebuild your new pond and adding your new koi. It all looks great 👍 Thanks for all the informative fun content. All the best Nick

Well said my thought entirely

Definitely include a koi mug in your thousand subscriber giveaway 👍😁👍

It's ok good luck to the winner

No two ponds are alike mate

Fish looking good
