Hi Mike, and thank you mate, really appreciated. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year mate. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hi Terry, Great to see everything looking well at your end given the awful temperatures the country has gone through the last few weeks. We went from around - 6 to up to 13 in less than a week up North we had snow frozen on the ground for 2 weeks then it just melted over night last Sunday and was around 13 + strange weather we get on this small island we call the UK. Anyway the Thermal pond balls I'm trying out got a good test over the last few weeks. Not heated just following the ground temperatures and trying to hold in that heat. Has not dropped below 6 yet and it's been as low as - 6 on some nights. So happy with that. Been on TH-cam putting videos out for 2 months now & really enjoying it everyone who has come across my channel has been so friendly & a real canny bunch of all sorts of characters. It's a great extension of the hobby for me. I mentioned you in my last video as been one of the main reasons that I wanted to get Involved in the TH-cam koi keeping community. Watching you and others for many years I just wanted to show people my pond design & setup showing how we all do things differently especially in different areas of the country. I have learnt so much from you over the years and again I'd just like to say a big thank you 👍 Hope you and the family have a great Christmas and Best Seasonal TH-cam Wishes To You Man 👍.... Mark
Good morning Mark, and thank you for your kind comments, it's really appreciated mate. We've had it cold here but no snow thank goodness. Thanks for the shout out mate, always appreciated 👍👍you will find the koi community really nice people. We all have our own ideas on how to run a koi pond, but that just makes the hobby more interesting. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year mate, Terry.
Just catching up on videos at last! Hope you had a fantastic Christmas Terry, hoping you all had a great time. Spring is finally insight and we can get back to pottering in the garden and shed. Looking forward to another year of your uploads and thank you for inspiring us all. Best wishes buddy 👍🏼
Hi Dave, we had a great Christmas and New Year mate, thank you. I hope you and your family had the same 👍👍 Apparently we've got a cold snap on the way, But I'm looking forward to spring 👍👍 I know what you mean about trying to catch up with all the videos, I'm subscribed to 150 channels and don't get to a lot of them. Need more hours in a day lol. Take care and stay warm mate, Terry.
Hi Vince, and thanks mate, always appreciated. Good to hear you like the plaque 👍👍 You all have a fantastic Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.

Hi Marek, hope your well mate. It would be a bit different if they were my trees 😆😆They stop a lot of sun in the summer and make a mess all winter 😂😂 You and your family have a great Christmas and a cracking New year Mate. Take care and stay safe mate, Terry.
Thank you Terry for all your content through the year, great idea maker, and I am sure we have all done some kind of adaption based on your great ideas, have agreat christmas and a very happy new year, lets hope 2023 is better for all of us, best wishes, Tony.

Welcome to a taste of early winter here in southern Ontario Canada. I can't believe how cold it has been in the UK and the impact the cold has had on so many ponds. With the wind it's -9C this morning here and that's warm compared to what it will be an another month or so. Here's hoping things warm up for you soon. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to more great videos in 2023.
Hi Ken, and thanks mate. it's been really cold here, as you know, and I have to say, that's bad enough for me 😄😄 I don't know how you stand it mate 🥶🥶 You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.

Hi Terry thanks for sharing I'm a little bit late on this video had to search for it. The hawk looks like a Merlin if it was gray in color hope you all had a nice Christmas and I'll wish you a happy new year for 2023 all the best👌👍
Hi Matt, and thanks mate. No worries, you get here in the end mate 👍👍👍 The hawk was dark on top and grey and white on the underside. Much darker than the hawks I've seen here. I had a quiet Christmas, but really enjoyed it. You and your family have a great New Year mate 👍👍 take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hi Garry, and thank you, its really appreciated mate. Glad you enjoy the videos. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Thank you Terry that's kind of you .. You're an inspiration with all the ideas you have come up with to improve the water quality and health of koi I have copied your idea with the acrylic 200 mm tubes but instead of it being as a tempest style I have it as a moving bed with churning k1 I then have another tube next to it with bakki house media as much like a shower filter as part of my biological as well as my moving bed that I have that also trickles through ceramic Media prior to reaching the pond ..you inspired me 👍😃
So nice to see you before Xmas Terry. Definitely a sparrow hawk I have one grab birds from the feeders next door. Wishing you and yours a fabulous Xmas and new year 🙏❤️
Hi Busy B, and thank you for your kind comments. The sparrowhawk is nice to see, but we haven't had many other birds in the garden since it appeared. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.

Terry, I share your thoughts on the cold weather. We are having highs of -25 C this week here in Saskatchewan. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for your videos.
Hi K C, I've just noticed my reply has gone. I hope you got it, but if not. Thanks mate, we've only had -7c here and that was cold enough for me 😂😂 You and your family have a great New Year and I hope it's a good one for you. Take care and stay warm mate, Terry.
Hi Terry thanks for all the videos this year. That picture carving look fantastic can't wait to see the finished piece. Have a great Christmas and catch you in the new year mate Stay safe Andy 👍

Hi Terry, Many thanks for the content and I look forward to seeing more. Your videos inspired me to give things a go and I built my Bakki Shower from polypropylene and the help of your content 👍 Have a fab Christmas and hope those leaves are all cleared up 😂 🍁
Hi Si, thank you mate, much appreciated. Great job on the shower 👍👍 Keep up the good work mate. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Great to see you again Terry you've been missed I know what you mean about content. Wishing you and the other half a happy healthy Christmas and a prosperous New year from Dave & Lin @koikarma 👍👍💯💯
Hi Dave, and thank you mate, I'm glad to be back. I think this cold spell has caught everybody out this year. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm mate, Terry
Hi Terry, it looks like you had fun with them leafs this year. 😂It must of kept you busy mate happy Christmas to you and your family and have a great New Year 🎄
Hi Glyn, and thanks mate. Must admit, the leaves are a nightmare. It's usually like it for around 3 weeks. Trees are looking bare now though, so it's about over, until the blossom starts 🤣🤣😂 thanks again mate. you and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year, take care, Terry.
Hi Stef, thanks mate, I thought it might be. Probably why were not seeing many birds round here at the moment. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year mate, Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hi Davey, thanks mate, really appreciated. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Roll on Spring 😆😆 Take care and stay warm mate, Terry
Morning Terry, Nice little video, I had the same problem with the leaves for 4 weeks, lol. What did we do before the vacuum? Nice to see the pond doing well, stay safe and have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎏🎏🎏
Hi Ian, and thank you mate, I don't know what I'd do without my leaf collector 😄😄 their a nightmare. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the very best for the New Year mate. Keep up the good work. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hey Terry like others have said thank you for all your videos again this year have thoroughly enjoyed it and as always have learnt alot 😊👍 also it was definitely a sparrow hawk we get loads here 👍 and yeh I don't know us not having snow Terry a good thing or bad thing luckily where we live the really bad weather always seems to miss us other than the wind 🤣 we get loads of that 🤣 I hope you have a fantastic Christmas 🎄 and a great new year bud 😊👍
Hi Jamie, thanks mate, much appreciated. I thought it might be a sparrowhawk, trouble is, we don't seem to get as many other birds here now it's about. Same here mate, we don't seem to get the worst of the weather here, but like you say we do get the wind, I think its because we're on the flat lands. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year mate. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hi Steve & Cat, thanks mate. The leaves are a nightmare, but nearly all gone now. I can't believe just how much detail the CNC puts into the carvings. Thanks again mate, take care you 2 and stay warm, Terry.
Merry Christmas! I blow all my leaves on to the lawn then just use the lawnmower with the basket on to scoop em up. Find it a little quicker and easier.
just wondering if you have ever considered adding a couple goldfish to your pond to sort your algae issue out, i added a few to my koi pond and havent had a algae issue since
Happy Christmas Terry. That photo looks great. Will be good to see the finished article when you've done it. I've got my ASHP set for 13 at the moment. I'm probably going to end up going down to about 11 this year what with the costs of everything.
Hi Jim, and Happy Christmas mate. I have my ASHP set at 13.5c so it cuts in at 13c and out at 14c. I got an email from my electricity company saying, Due to government guide lines there reducing my electricity bill, I thought brilliant! until I checked, and found it's going down by 0.27p pkh lol. Big deal 🤨🤔😆 Coming a lot warmer tomorrow mate, so get the shorts out 😂😂 Thanks Jim, stay safe and warm mate, Terry.
Definitley a Sparrow Hawk - males and females differ in colour and size Terry - sad nature takes its course but to see a top predator means healthy food chain all round - I compensate by feeding over winter to boost the blackbirds, blue/great/coal tits, woodpeckers etc - the water looks fab an I’ll try the weed treatment too Terry, great as always
Hi Richard, thanks for the info. I thought it might be a sparrow hawk. That could be why we've not seen many birds around lately. With the Viresco tm just follow the directions that come with it. It's not a quick algae killer but it works. Thanks again mate, take care and stay warm, Terry.
I'm a new subscriber, Terry, so I'm in catchup mode with all of your great videos and I have to say, I'm really enjoying them immensely. I've already ordered your plans for the RDF, so that's my winter project going forward. I'd like to see your plans for the protein skimmer as well. I do have a koi pond, a converted inground swimming pool, with a raised bottom and a liner. It goes at about 16,000 gallons and a depth of between 3 feet to 5 feet. I'm moving about 11K gallons/hr through a a Zakki sieve, two AquaDyne 8000 bead filters and a Helix skimmer, but I'm ready to add the RDF and perhaps a Bakki shower. Any advice for sizing the drum using that flowrate would be greatly appreciated. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year from your newest friends in Westminster, MD, USA. Rds, Dave
Hi Dave, and welcome to my channel mate. Good to have you with us 👍👍 Thank you for your purchase, very much appreciated. That is a lot of flow you have there. I would look to reduce it slightly. Pushing water too fast through any filter, can make them less efficient. A good rule of thumb, is to look to cycle your pond water volume around once every 2 to 3 hours. 3 hours for the larger ponds like yours. The RDF plans are for a drum length of 14" to 16" . But if you require a longer drum, all you do is add the extra length of the drum to the case, plus one or two extra spray jets. It's best if you extend by 2" units, like 2" 4" 6" or 8". The drum radius is pretty much the same as the manufactured ones, so if I were you, I'd look at what the manufactures are recommending for the drum size, for that amount of flow rate. I would look to bring the flow down to around 6000gph (27000 lph) Hope this helps mate. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
@@Wrighty Hi Terry. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I'm looking forward to seeing your videos in the new year. Thank you for the great input on my flowrate and drum-length. It's good to know I can leave the diameter the same and add a little length to handle my flow. I'll definitely take your advice into consideration. I'm a little curious about the dirty side of the RDF and why it's so small between the input wall and the open side of the drum. It would seem all of the RDFs are made this way, but it seems a little tight. I suppose making it larger would only cause more debris to find a place to collect, but I'm thinking about opening it up another 2 inches so I can get my hands in there. Of course, that means I'll have to extend the waste chute by that same amount. Just wondering when you might post your plans for the protein skimmer. That'll be my next purchase, mate. Meantime, I just purchased your plans for the up flow filter and I'm looking forward to building that one as well.
Hi Dave, We had a quiet Christmas, but it was nice. I hope your Christmas went well for you. You can extend the dirty chamber, no problem mate. What most people do, is get a little aquarium air pump, and drop a couple of air stones in there to keep the water circulating, so no dirt settles. I do show this in my next video. I do have the build plans for the protein skimmer, on my website: diypondfilters.com/product/new-koi-pond-protein-skimmer/ Hope this helps, and all the best for the New Year mate, Terry.
@@Wrighty Hi Terry... thanks for the link to your website. I did purchase the plans for the protein skimmer and received the email to download the plans, but when I click on the link... I get an error message that says, "File not found" and a link to "Go to Shop". Can you help me out?
Also, the email giving me the download link has an expiration date of 18 January 2023. I didn't have this problem downloading the plans for the RDF and the Up Flow filter and there wasn't an expiration date.

all the best to you and your family
Hi Dave, and thank you. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year mate. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Minis 40 below in Canada and my ponds run all year with NO HEAT and fish are all doing very well in my ice cold water. No heat needed for Koi
Juvenile male Sparrowhawk. Merry Christmas Terry & family and a prosperous new year.
Hi Stef, thanks mate, I thought it might be. Probably why were not seeing many birds round here at the moment. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year mate, Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Merry Christmas! 😊
Merry Christmas Lorraine and thank you, have a great New Year, Terry.

Hi Davey, thanks mate, really appreciated. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Roll on Spring 😆😆 Take care and stay warm mate, Terry
Morning Terry,
Nice little video, I had the same problem with the leaves for 4 weeks, lol. What did we do before the vacuum? Nice to see the pond doing well, stay safe and have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎏🎏🎏
Hi Ian, and thank you mate, I don't know what I'd do without my leaf collector 😄😄 their a nightmare. You and your family have a great Christmas and all the very best for the New Year mate. Keep up the good work. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hey Terry like others have said thank you for all your videos again this year have thoroughly enjoyed it and as always have learnt alot 😊👍 also it was definitely a sparrow hawk we get loads here 👍 and yeh I don't know us not having snow Terry a good thing or bad thing luckily where we live the really bad weather always seems to miss us other than the wind 🤣 we get loads of that 🤣 I hope you have a fantastic Christmas 🎄 and a great new year bud 😊👍
Hi Jamie, thanks mate, much appreciated. I thought it might be a sparrowhawk, trouble is, we don't seem to get as many other birds here now it's about. Same here mate, we don't seem to get the worst of the weather here, but like you say we do get the wind, I think its because we're on the flat lands. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year mate. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
@@Wrighty yeh I'm only 10 minutes up the road from you so we get the same weather 🤣
Sparrowhawk Terry. It's a full time job with that leaf vac, blimey! Incredible carving as well. Have a great Christmas mate. Stay safe
Hi Steve & Cat, thanks mate. The leaves are a nightmare, but nearly all gone now. I can't believe just how much detail the CNC puts into the carvings. Thanks again mate, take care you 2 and stay warm, Terry.
Merry Christmas! I blow all my leaves on to the lawn then just use the lawnmower with the basket on to scoop em up. Find it a little quicker and easier.
Merry Christmas mate, That sounds like a good idea with the leaves. They are a nightmare. Take care and stay warm mate, Terry.
@Wrighty you too. All the best for New year. Already looking forward to the new Pond season. 👍
just wondering if you have ever considered adding a couple goldfish to your pond to sort your algae issue out, i added a few to my koi pond and havent had a algae issue since
Hi Jay Jay, never thought of that one. I didn't realize gold fish ate algae. Take care mate, Terry.
Have a great Christmas and catch you in the new year Terry
Hi Martyn, thank you. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year mate. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours,
Hi Paul, and thanks mate. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm mate, Terry.
That pic look so gd wish it was koi hehe
That's what I told the wife 🤣🤣🤣
@@Wrighty lol no that was some think different I really like it make gd Xmas present bounce for you 😉
@@jpwatergardens2290 lol, I was only joking mate. The plaques do take a lot of work to make. Have a great Christmas mate, Terry.
Happy Christmas Terry. That photo looks great. Will be good to see the finished article when you've done it. I've got my ASHP set for 13 at the moment. I'm probably going to end up going down to about 11 this year what with the costs of everything.
Hi Jim, and Happy Christmas mate. I have my ASHP set at 13.5c so it cuts in at 13c and out at 14c. I got an email from my electricity company saying, Due to government guide lines there reducing my electricity bill, I thought brilliant! until I checked, and found it's going down by 0.27p pkh lol. Big deal 🤨🤔😆 Coming a lot warmer tomorrow mate, so get the shorts out 😂😂 Thanks Jim, stay safe and warm mate, Terry.
Definitley a Sparrow Hawk - males and females differ in colour and size Terry - sad nature takes its course but to see a top predator means healthy food chain all round - I compensate by feeding over winter to boost the blackbirds, blue/great/coal tits, woodpeckers etc - the water looks fab an I’ll try the weed treatment too Terry, great as always
Hi Richard, thanks for the info. I thought it might be a sparrow hawk. That could be why we've not seen many birds around lately. With the Viresco tm just follow the directions that come with it. It's not a quick algae killer but it works. Thanks again mate, take care and stay warm, Terry.
I'm a new subscriber, Terry, so I'm in catchup mode with all of your great videos and I have to say, I'm really enjoying them immensely. I've already ordered your plans for the RDF, so that's my winter project going forward. I'd like to see your plans for the protein skimmer as well. I do have a koi pond, a converted inground swimming pool, with a raised bottom and a liner. It goes at about 16,000 gallons and a depth of between 3 feet to 5 feet. I'm moving about 11K gallons/hr through a a Zakki sieve, two AquaDyne 8000 bead filters and a Helix skimmer, but I'm ready to add the RDF and perhaps a Bakki shower. Any advice for sizing the drum using that flowrate would be greatly appreciated. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year from your newest friends in Westminster, MD, USA. Rds, Dave
Hi Dave, and welcome to my channel mate. Good to have you with us 👍👍 Thank you for your purchase, very much appreciated. That is a lot of flow you have there. I would look to reduce it slightly. Pushing water too fast through any filter, can make them less efficient. A good rule of thumb, is to look to cycle your pond water volume around once every 2 to 3 hours. 3 hours for the larger ponds like yours. The RDF plans are for a drum length of 14" to 16" . But if you require a longer drum, all you do is add the extra length of the drum to the case, plus one or two extra spray jets. It's best if you extend by 2" units, like 2" 4" 6" or 8". The drum radius is pretty much the same as the manufactured ones, so if I were you, I'd look at what the manufactures are recommending for the drum size, for that amount of flow rate. I would look to bring the flow down to around 6000gph (27000 lph) Hope this helps mate. You and your family have a great Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
@@Wrighty Hi Terry. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I'm looking forward to seeing your videos in the new year. Thank you for the great input on my flowrate and drum-length. It's good to know I can leave the diameter the same and add a little length to handle my flow. I'll definitely take your advice into consideration. I'm a little curious about the dirty side of the RDF and why it's so small between the input wall and the open side of the drum. It would seem all of the RDFs are made this way, but it seems a little tight. I suppose making it larger would only cause more debris to find a place to collect, but I'm thinking about opening it up another 2 inches so I can get my hands in there. Of course, that means I'll have to extend the waste chute by that same amount. Just wondering when you might post your plans for the protein skimmer. That'll be my next purchase, mate. Meantime, I just purchased your plans for the up flow filter and I'm looking forward to building that one as well.
Hi Dave, We had a quiet Christmas, but it was nice. I hope your Christmas went well for you. You can extend the dirty chamber, no problem mate. What most people do, is get a little aquarium air pump, and drop a couple of air stones in there to keep the water circulating, so no dirt settles. I do show this in my next video. I do have the build plans for the protein skimmer, on my website: diypondfilters.com/product/new-koi-pond-protein-skimmer/ Hope this helps, and all the best for the New Year mate, Terry.
@@Wrighty Hi Terry... thanks for the link to your website. I did purchase the plans for the protein skimmer and received the email to download the plans, but when I click on the link... I get an error message that says, "File not found" and a link to "Go to Shop". Can you help me out?
Also, the email giving me the download link has an expiration date of 18 January 2023. I didn't have this problem downloading the plans for the RDF and the Up Flow filter and there wasn't an expiration date.
merry Xmas all!
Thank you, and all the best for Christmas to you and your family mate, Take care, Terry.
Yes that's a spraw hawk
Thanks mate, much appreciated, Terry
