Hi/ Looking good, I would drain the pond to get the mortar out. And to be safe, I would get a Jebao 100/120 air pump. The 120 is only 70 watts and it is Quiet and powerful.
nice update cracking job on the tiles mate 👍👍and the barrel system looks good and will work a treat i use a jecod pa60 air pump which runs the moving bed and bottom drain at the same time been running flawless
The tiling looks great, I am also building a three barrel system and extending the pond in spring. You could add jump guards on the pond I've used 8mm Perspex about 300 high ,that will also stop the dog drinking the water which might be a good idea if you've added any chemicals to the water for fish health. You will need to get the cement out of the pond it will bugger up your PH.
Pond is looking great mate. 👍🏼 Cracking big dug too…. 😂 Yeah, you need to get that cement / mortar out the pond mate. Personally I’d be draining it, cleaning it, and refilling it, but I’m fortunate not to be on a water meter etc.
Hi mate your tileing look really great. I learn something from you. About the tiles over the skimmer why don't you set it up in a way that it look like a hold tile but easy to remove when you want to do something to the skimmer.
Hi Paul. I'm contemplating either moving the shed closer to the pond or building a filter house. Whichever I choose I will insulate. Main problem I've got is all my garden tools don't fit in the shed now. Not sure how long before the wife leaves me if the lawn mower doesn't move from our porch
Looking very nice sir😊👍. Your dog loves that water😂👍. Need to get the cement out , can you try and net it (kiddies crabbing net probably best, that’s what I used)👍 if not, wetsuit on👍. Keep up the good work👍🐟🈲😊
Haha yeh I've nearly knocked her in a few times. I had to build a cover for the pond yesterday 😒. Totally spoilt the look of the pond but until I build a pergola and my kids learn to swim , it's got to be covered.
@joshowen9331 Yeah, covers are a must. My youngest is 18 months, so he will be exploring this summer, I have a wood frame and perspex on the top, and I do the job well, but it is ugly as hell. What part of Bristol are you in? I'm in the south.
@Dan Maclellan Mine are 3 and 6 and both fascinated with water. I was thinking about getting some polycarbonate sheets for next winter. Ahhh Bristol brother... North Bristol I am...Downend. I'll try find you on FB
@joshowen9331 Ah yes, my middle child was a nightmare for pulling chairs around to try and get up to see the fish. Luckily, he is 7 now and has grown out of that. Yeah, please do. I'm always up for pond chat!
I couldn't find any decent cornering for the split face tiles. They aren't smooth and all the tile edging I found just didn't sit right with the tiles...seems they are best suited for flat tiles. Mind...I didn't look very hard. The cornering I've gone for is aluminium. I was sceptical at first but once fitted I really like the look. I noticed a few others that have used these tiles have done the same. Happy ponding mate
Tiling looks great bud done a fantastic job I can't suggest the best way to get the cement out but personally I'd use a pond vac 👍

Deffo use a pond vac to get cement out great pond great tiling well done 👍👍
That's exactly what I did...surprised by how well the old pond vacs work! 👌👍
@BrizzleKoi makes it so easy when you have a crystal clear pond and you can't beat the old vacs lol
Nice update, the pond is looking great, soon ready for fish😀
Tiling is spot on mate. Like others have said, best get that cement out. Looking forward to the next videos 👍🏼
Dust pan on o pile n yard brush would be my 1st choice sir, looking good.
Cracking job👍
Looking fantastic mate. Soon be 🍺🍺🍺 time 👍🏼

As a non Koi keeper I think this looks a fantastic installation. Could I just suggest that you insulate the filter house.

Just found your channel and subbed 👍
Great update. Go careful with tall, thin ornaments on the edge of the pond! A big gust of wind, and you'll be fishing it out! I've been there 🤣

Looking good roughly how many breeze block did you use
About 300 blocks. Internal dimensions are 3m x 1.5m x 1.5m
@@BrizzleKoi thanks
Only crique is i would have spent the extra few bucks on the proper tile corners so you dont have to use plastic covers.

Hey your ponds out in the sun. How do you control the algae?
I have a 30w uv but also plan to install a pergola or a shade sail
