Every 3 days?! Oh my god. I've never seen one of these filters before, but it's really quite cool how it works, and how you clean it. Really quite satisfying.
Some of those would look good in our pond, if we ever get round to throwing a new liner in to it, it's lasted 28 years so can't really complain that it's started leaking a little.
It would be really interesting to see the setup and how it works please with the various filters and media. I'm not a fish fanatic (I like catching them) but don't have a pond yet find these videos really interesting - I just wish I understood each part a bit better. Thanks.
Adam Julyan , you once had a oase screenmatic filter , would you recommend these , are they any good at keeping pond clear , problem i have is brown water , i have a oase bio filter 18000 , a small oase screenmatic [ needs new filter sponges ] both oase filters run from a 12000 ltr pump , all ponds solutions 75000 ltr pressure filter run from a 20000 ltr vari pump connected to a retro fit bottom drain, my pond is around 1000 gal , but just can't stop water from going brown , i do have a water iris plant in pond , any advice would be appreciated ,
I wouldn't really recommend it no. It would work and it would probably clear your water but any filter that has sponges like that and pressure filters need cleaning every day and it becomes a massive task. If you don't clean a pressure filter every day the sponges stop working properly and you need to take it apart and manually clean it, it's just the same for the screenmatic. have a look at a filter like this a nexus 320 would be just the trick they are a big lump but not as much of a pain as those oase filters.
My pond runs absolutely fine with a oase pressure fillter 30000 with a oase 17500lph pump and the oase bio smart 36000 with a oase 11500lph pump with the oase swimskim 25 under the bridge 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Are you more likely to get bacterial issues with a nexus and k1 bead over a drum? Thinking of upgrading to a drum but worried about things going wrong with it. Which is why I got a nexus in the first place!
My nexus doesn't need any help for cleaning as you do. Clean my filter every day, takes less than 5 min. Put a timer on your hose when you're refilling the water, you can never forget to turn it off in time. Only 5 quid at the pound shop, great investment, never an overflowing pond anymore.
You should sell the waist water in 5 liter containers for £25 as Expert fertiliser to these cannabis grow shops around the country 😀 and for Bonsai people like myself but got a family koi pond too
Yeah they are a good filter this tank is a bit small but still has a lot of fish and the filter doesn't have any issues as long as I can keep it cleaned regularly.
Do you run trickle in,trickle out on that tank? Only got 6 Koi in 500 gall in my grow on,running on sieve,cyclone and 10k pump over a shower 😁Think I'm too cautious.
No I don't but i would if I could fortunately the regular and quite large filter cleans keep on top of water changes with this tank. It depends how fast you trickle is you wont need it rushing in just a slight trickle will do nice 🙂
you don't have a mineralization tank? you could probably open a side business selling fertilizer if you did :) all you would have to do is let the solids settle out then chuck that brown/gold water into a bucket with an airstone. i love watching you doing pond maintenance, found you when you saved those Koi from your neighbors pond. stayed for the education on systems :)
Oh no! I have done it on the indoor tank and come back in to find water going on the floor and into the basement that's why the floor in the fish house has lets say passed its best 🙂
@@AdamJulyan love your fish/tanks. I wish I could've done what you have when I was younger. Winters are to cold in Wisconsin. I'll be watching though. 😊 It's cool how big your fish get. 👍🌟😊😃👍

Great video and shows why koi keepers have such green and colourful gardens 😀
Yeah it's unbelievable how much things grow with fish waste although It means ive got to cut the grass every 3 days in summer. 🙂
First time I have ever seen a Nexus cleaned in that manner. Amazing how much muck came out of that filter. Cheers.
For an electrical solution use a toilet macerator in place of the petrol pump. Not as powerful but does the job and auto starts and stops.
That grass will be 10 ft tall 😂 Awesome videos Adam, I watched so so so many of your last year that helped me with my pond build 😁
Morning bud, great video as always something nice about watching a filter clean
Morning, Thanks 🙂

What a massive pain! How often do you need to do this?

Something I have noticed with the nexus is that the outer get full of fines over time and itself needs draining

Is that re-fill from a tank or direct hose?
Nice upload, thank you Adam.

Been years since I seen your tank. You've still got some really pretty large koi. Ever going to hand breed them for specific colors to sale?
Just plumbed in my nexus, can't wait to see the results
My nexus doesn't need any help for cleaning as you do.
Clean my filter every day, takes less than 5 min.

We’re did you get the filter that hangs on the top of the hold tank mate
That was dirty mate nice to see you
When will you again review the neglected pond bro...
Blimey that filter is huge compared to the tank. Is that meant for a larger tank or you just prefer a lot of filtration?
You keep that many koi in that sized tank you’re going to need mega filtration and water changes.
Like Josh said it don't hurt to have a way to big filter on a Quarantine tank with a lot fish.
The filter would do a 18,000 Litre pond.
hi .....what size flexible hose fits onto the waste pipe
Where did you get your tank from please?
You should sell the waist water in 5 liter containers for £25 as Expert fertiliser to these cannabis grow shops around the country 😀 and for Bonsai people like myself but got a family koi pond too
Were you gunna heat that pond for the winter.
Very informative video, hadn't realised how good fish waste was as fertiliser, your apples are huge. Thanks Adam!
Thanks 🙂 its amazing how well things grow on it
Have you applied for a water rates reduction, as your waste is going on your garden instead of water treatment place
Yeah I don't pay drainage for water used in my ponds It saves me a fortune 🙂
I bet it does, do you find you benefit much from the solar panels,
Hello mate blimey them fish have grown are you still feeding your main pond fish coppers .another good video mate 👍
Thanks 🙂Yeah I always feed coppens these days it's all my fish have grown up on.
Netjes afgewerkt is anders rond om de omgeving ook .en wat een werk nog .nee ik ben blij een trommel filter met groot bwb filter heb
Hi Adam great vid im getting a nexus 320 next year so some good tips on how to clean it thanks mate
Yeah they are a good filter this tank is a bit small but still has a lot of fish and the filter doesn't have any issues as long as I can keep it cleaned regularly.

NICE VID
Please tell us how the neighbour's pond is.
It's doing good Ill do an update on it before winter 🙂
Try leaving it boiling for about 30 minutes works a lot better
Good thing it's outside. 😉 I'd forget too. I forgot I was emptying one inside upstairs. Oops. 😊👍👍
Oh no! I have done it on the indoor tank and come back in to find water going on the floor and into the basement that's why the floor in the fish house has lets say passed its best 🙂

Timer on my phone has saved my bacon (and Koi) many a time🙄
👍👍
