    Cracking video Lee, really enjoyed the snorkeling, you are absolutely blessed living with such clear waters around you . Take your time with the pond, no rush as I no what could be the consequences working like that. I to was on a major project at home, coming home from a 10hr shift & getting stuck in until midnight, ended up my back going into spasm which I now tend to suffer with occasionally. Work, rest & play buddy. Have a wonderful holiday & thanks for the videos.

    Enjoying watching the progress and the care you are taking.
    Why put heat pump condensate into the drain , it is pure water , we pipe ours into the pond .As we live in a clean area (rural) we have a downspout collection point piped into the pond. It is a lot better than our tap water which runs at 250 parts per million dissolved solids.

    Hi Lee, watched you from the start. If you gonna put led strip at the back do some research for cob leds. It comes with a diffuser on and looks smooth so you don't see each individual each led.

    Lee, give yourself a break mate about rushing to fill up the pond. You're smashing it out of the park as it is. Failure to prepare, prepare to fail is not what any of us want to hear from you. Loving all your content. Enjoy your hols with the family 🏖

    Loving watching full build. Just a quick thought- and might have missed this during previous video/comments; have you considered pre filter from skimmer before bakki showers? Don’t want a build up of waste in there as cleaning it in that location will be very difficult. A simple sieve would do 👍👍

      Also if one system fails iv always got flow and filtration 👍🤙🙏
