- Following feedback received I’ve gone and done it….shortened my introduction video that is😊, Oase drum filter inlet thoughts, what I’m doing to clear a dead-spot in my pond, an update on my 2000 subscriber giveaway and a new Pond vac.
Good new intro congrats on the 2000 subs. 👍👍
Thank you sir, much appreciated 👍😊
Congrats on breaking the 2k subs Phil
Thank you, much appreciated 👍😊
I still don’t know how to creat an intro 🤣🤣😢. Congratulations on the 2k Phil👍👍Well deserved.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍😊. TBH I’m just winging-it but seem to be doing ok 👍😊
TBH Telford Koi I normally skip intro😅 As I’m to eager to see ur content, love watching love learning 👍🏻
No problem Simon, it is the content that matters and sounds like you have the same mind set as me…..love watch and love learning👍😊
Great to see the 2000 subs Phil, well done mate 👍👍 Love the intro 👍👍 keep up the good work, stay safe mate, Terry.
Thank you for your kind words Terry and thank you for the shout-outs that have clearly helped me to get to the 2000 subscriber mark, really appreciated 👍🈲🐟😊
Your more than welcome mate, it's good to see you up there 👍👍 take care, Terry.
Just another day in the North High Winds and rain yesterday and cold today temp just 12c the good thing I don’t have to bother with green water as I have none however, I will put my normal quarter dose of Colombo Algisin into the pond which I do every 2 months which keeps the walls free from the green stuff.
Next week Monday I will put some 150ml of Hydrogen Peroxide into the pond this softens the mucus on the fish body I will put Formalin into the pond the next day and Malachite Green 5 days later.
I turn everything off for each day I put stuff in the pond other than air then everything back on other than UV.
I don’t know if its just luck or my system works but I have never had problems with anything on the fish.
I know a few people with fluke have used Formaldehyde and found it better than other treatments I have purchased some myself just in case.
Hi mate congratulations on your 2K I will be interested if you could keep me updated how you get on with the air stone as I’ve got the same problem and the pond is looking great mate as always 👌👍
Thank you👍😊. Will definitely provide an update re the air stone. Need to leave it in a week really but after about 6 hrs of use the isn’t any waste within a good 3 ft of the air stone and I’ve only got it running with minimal air ….so far so good🤞👍😊
Congrats on the 2k Phil 🥳
Loving the new intro too 👍🏽
Cheers Assim, much appreciated 👍😊

You got your 2k gift 🤣
A great friend to give you that
Lucky fella 😛
Congratulations on the 2k Phil mate!🙌🏼
Totally wish I could use the 2 bottom inlets but it’s tight to get in there! Nevertheless it shouldn’t happen what ever inlet you use on a 4K drum! I’m pushing 25,000lph though it but also I’m feeding 260grm a day atm so that’s possibly a lot more than you? That may be the problem. Also at the top where the waste gets sprayed out off the screen to the waste pipe it actually misses the tray and falls back in to the drum!!!!! 🙈
Hi Lee👏. 260grm a day is indeed significantly more than I’m feeding atm😳. I will definitely investigate the waste missing the tray as that could be an issue in the peak of the season but luckily I haven’t noticed anything like that yet🤞🤞🤞. Just about to watch your latest video and am guessing there are exciting time’s ahead 👍😊
I’m going to try and move the one drain inlet down next week I think! So I’m using the 2 bottom inlets. See how that works!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Congrats on 2000!😀👍
Thank you👍😊
Nice video Phil. Hopefully the disc will do the job for you. So nice of your friend to give you a pond hoover. And congrats on the 2000 subs. Great stuff.
Thank you Lau, much appreciated 👍😊
When I started my intro was massively long (the video's are still there) and I cut it down to a 10 second splash video. I was told by these YT growth channels that anything more than 40 secs stops people watching your videos. So I changed it. People still don't watch my videos but at least they don't watch from the start now lmao. Very interesting with the drum. The flow would make a huge difference I would think. I think if I had a drum with only one feed I would split it across the two inlets. The flow would then be going the right way. It's definitely a good tip for when I build my next pond. Instead of attaching those pipes to the drum lid why dont you put a hook in the wall to attach them to. You wouldn't need to remember to remove them when you take the lid off the drum then.
Hello Jim🖐. TBH I simply haven’t got round to putting a hook on the wall, it’s on my todo list👍😊
Great update video Phil 👍
Congrats on the 2000 subscribers 🏆
Nice shorter into, but still too long - anything over 10s is too long IMO 😇
I always skip forward 30s as people tend to have 30s as a minimum.
Stay safe.
Cheers Keith👍😊. Current intro will be shortened further as I believe most people skip 👍😊.
2k nice effort. Always adapting hope the airstone helps.
Quick one is that a 3-2 rubber boot on your lower waste outlet. Need to buy something. Had my fibfeglasser here today but floor under insulation too wet squelching up thru so cut it out and hoping for a good dry week and more heat to get it dry enough to re- lay for glassing. Loads other stuff to do in the mean time 😤🙄
Hello Aaron, the rubber not is 3” to 1.5” 😊👍. Bad news about the fibreglass but looking like a good dry week this week with high temps so fingers crossed you’ll get it done🤞🤞🤞. As you say, loads of stuff to do in the meantime so hope everything goes to plan👍🐟🈲😊
Congratulation on the 2K That's a good mate giving you a pond Vac stay safe
Thank you Carol👍😊. Yes, that was an extremely kind gesture by Ade and one that I really appreciated 👍🐟🈲😊
Congratulations on the 2k Phil mate intro is short and sweet that's the same air stone I just put on top of my drain dome it's pretty good for the money it's cheap but effective great update phil👍
Thank you Martyn, much appreciated 👍😊. Even after a few hours I cans see that there is a clear zone around the air stone so fingers crossed it will do the trick👍😊
Great update and congratulations to you both on getting to 2000 subs
Cheers Marty, much appreciated 👍😊
Loopy poo! I see that as well. Good on Ade giving you the pond vac, lovely gesture. Glad you changed the waste to 4" and me personally I would endeavour to stop the drum dripping in the first place or at least put a plant pot down there. Again great video work from Clare and don't forget a regular mention for her too. Maybe swap roles for a bit of a laugh. Great video as always guys. Stay safe.
Cheers Steve, much appreciated 👍😊. Loopy poo indeed🤣😂👍. Excellent suggestion re swapping roles ……watch this space😊. Again, many thanks 👍🐟🈲😊
Congratulations on the 2k Phil!
Yes that little drip is a pain, mine comes off the foam lid.
Hello Gary🖐. Yes it seems to be a common issue . I’ve tried filling the cut out with sponge and tape but the water always finds a way through so for me, catching the drips is a simple and acceptable solution…..for now🤔. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🐟🈲😊
Hello Phil 👍 at first I thought it was the air in bio chamber but heard a couple of other people same issues, i used a length of gutter into the drain, works a treat! Your welcome pal!
About time and well done Phil… see you soon on the show 🤣👍🏼
Cheers Stu👍😊. Looking forward to appearing on KOIZONE👍🐟🈲😊
Awesome hitting 2k mate .. its quite amazing the difference between your drum and Lees even with the feeding difference . Are the washbjets adjustable direction wise I'm wondering if Lees have moved a little causing it to miss the collection tray
Hello Daz🖐. I’ve only just watched Lee’s latest video so didn’t realise he was having a problem with his jets. Don’t think they are adjustable but I will be checking tomorrow 😊👍. He said he got his inlet blanking cap of someone named Daz, is that you? Can you provide those caps?. Must admit I like the idea of extending the inlets with a pit of tube so might try that🤔. As always, thank you for watching 👍🐟🈲😊
@@TelfordKoiPond he got the idea off me just pic up some 4 inch socket plugs from screwfix or similar plumbing place cheap as chips you can either do what Lee did and pack them with tape or if you're going to extend it ob1 them to the end if the pipe 😉
@@skeggy thanks Daz, much appreciated 👍😊
Nice update Phil, liking the intro.💯💯👍👍
Cheers Dave, much appreciated 👍😊
Hi, what's the black connector for the 1" pipe for the trickle out please? Thank you.
Hello . It’s. 1” Uniseal. Just drill a hole in the 4” pipe and the 1” pipe pushes through it creating a waterproof joint👍😊
@@TelfordKoiPond lovely cheers bud.
Nice one Phil. Re the airstones - for me the 20L per min air pump seems to work best with the 8''/200mm ones. 👍
Cheers Ray, I think I’m currently at around that mark and all looking good so far👍😊
Congratulations on 2k Phil👏👍
Thank you James, much appreciated 👍😊
Congrats on the 2k. Shorter intro is much better although it caught me out 🤣 👍
Thank you Marcia, much appreciated 👍😊. Had so much feedback on the introduction I had to take action😊👍. Now that the fundraising for Jack the Balding Reefer has finished I’ll be running a giveaway so look out for that one 👍😊
@@TelfordKoiPond will do thanks 👍 managed to win last night with Gary and Cazz, so probably done my share of winning for the year but will definitely keep watching 😁
nice intro buddy. and congrats on the 2k once again
Thank you sir, much appreciated 👍😊. Just waiting for 5he prizes to arrive and then I’ll be doing a free giveaway so stay tuned👍😊. Are you going to the Coventry show next weekend?
👏Congratulations👏👍👍
Thank you, much appreciated 👍😊
First lol congrats
Well done👏👍😊
Hi mate interesting take on the crap build up. I have the same Oase combi system but only using the bottom left 4" inlet from the bottom drain. Is your skimmer gravity fed into the drum?
Hello Chris. Yes, Skimmer is gravity fed into bottom left inlet using 1.5" pipe and the 4" bottom drain line goes into the bottom right inlet. I used 1.5" pipe to ensure the pull through the skimmer wasn't taking too much away from the bottom drain line but found that it was so use the ball valve to restrict the flow further. Took a bit of trial and error to get it spot on but happy with where it is now. :)
@@TelfordKoiPond brilliant mate thanks for getting back to me. My skimmer is a floating one that is pumped through a k1 bead filter, I might try setting it up to see if it flows in by gravity. Makes a lot of sense about 1 inlet not forcing through the crap.
Hi Phil, I have just finished installing my Oase Drum Filter, same model as you but on a pumped system. I have a few questions which I hope you won't mind me asking. 1. What have you set your periodic cleaning cycle at? Factory setting came as 20mins which I have changed to 40mins at present. 2. What size air pump do you have circulating the media? 3. How much Hel X media do you have in and how much Pads?....Cheers Phil, and agreed it's a great bit of kit. Just lifting off the lid is a workout! 👍😊
No problem at all, ask away😊👍.
1. I set the cleaning period to 20 minutes all summer and then every 40 minutes for the spring and autumn and every 60 minutes (biggest gap you can programme) for the winter. I’m on every 40 minutes at the minute as I’m still reducing the heat of the pond 19 degrees at the minute, down from 24 in summer - will go down to 10 over winter just to manage any temp fluctuations).
2. I have a 60 lph air pump working at the minute as I’ve just put another 10 litres of Oase pond pads in and the extra air helps them mature/reach neutral buoyancy quicker) but I normally run a 40 lph air pump as that gives the media a really nice “rolling” effect rather than the very turbulent action of the 60 lph.
3. I have 80 litres of Helx13 and 20 litres of Oase pond pads including the additional 10 litres of pads I added recently. This is over the recommended volume of media but it works nicely for me and my pond.
I know what you mean about the lid but I guess that just goes to show how well made the whole unit is. I still love mine and have it working extremely well now that everything has matured and the flow rates are right for pumps I’m using (in summer I turn over the whole pond every how but then reduce that to every 2 hours in winter).
Hope this helps, don’t be afraid to ask if you have any more questions😊👍
Phil.
@@TelfordKoiPond Hi Phil, thanks very much for the info, so useful to be able to knock ideas around and gain experience. Re the air pump info - might you have the figures wrong (more likely to be me) just wondering if you mean lpm (litres per min) which would tie in ish with the Oase books recommendation of 2000 lph (33 lpm) for 80 litres of Hel X.
@@raysharman7162 yes, sorry Ray, meant litres per minute not litres par hour…..schoolboy error😊👍
@@TelfordKoiPond Thanks for your time, Phil. Great channel
@@raysharman7162 Thank you, much appreciated 👍😊.
