NEW PROJECT IDEA….Solar water heater for filter house roof! Love this channel…..👍👍👍

[@Wrighty]

Hi mate, I did think about going solar, but we have too many trees all around us, the panels would get no sun. Thanks and take care, Terry

[@paulhigginson3876]

Hi Terry👋, one of those time consuming jobs that, gravel out, re pipe , gravel in not to mention handling a lot of delicate plants!! Great job👍 Nice to see your covers off although the weather is still not quite playing ball. Bet you will be glad to see the last of that blossom too pretty as it is. What a phenomenal achievement with that view count, hardly a surprise though your videos are a joy to watch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Wrighty]

Hi Paul, that's right mate, it looks so easy to do, but it took me ages 😂😂I put it down to me getting old🤣🤣The trees are a complete pain mate. There's 5 of them around my garden that blossom, and you can bet on the wind blowing it all in my garden😮😮the wife says I get on her nerves moaning about it🤣🤣🤣I have never looked at the amount of views my videos have had, so it came as a bit of a shock mate, so thank you for your support. You have a great season mate, Terry.

Good to see u Terry back to doing videos again and a never good year you got any projects come up in the year Matt

[@Wrighty]

Hi Matt, and thanks mate. I keep toying with the idea of trying to build a RDF that comes out cheap to build that everybody can afford, but it's figuring out the drum drive that's the problem at the moment. I'll keep at it mate, take care, Terry.

[@FARMOORKOI]

Looking good Terry, beautiful pond, and Koi, best wishes, Tony😀

[@Wrighty]

Hi Tony, thanks mate. I've got a bit of work to get it how I want yet, but it will come hopefully 👍👍 it keeps me out of the house 🤣🤣thanks again mate, and have a great season, Terry.

[@SuperKoi123]

We thank you for making brilliant videos and giving us all some much help and inspiration

[@marekskoipond9083]

Nice one Terry, season's here hooray 👍, you can get evergreen ferns to fill that spot Terry or Chinese paper bush, they do lose their leaves in winter but the stem and branches are quite architectural and, should hinder herons if bush is large enough, glorious scent from flowers in Feb/March, leaves grow once flowers finished 👍.

[@Wrighty]

Hi Marek, the pond season is here, all we need now is the weather to go with it 😂😂I will look into the Chinese paper bush mate, thank you for the tip. You have a great season, and take care, Terry.

[@MandyJane123700]

Oh, your pond is beautiful! I am working on my first pond, but it will be in a tank above ground. I'm watching every thing I can to get ideas about filters and bog filters. I love the baby tears bog filter you have.

[@Wrighty]

Hi MandyJane, thank you for your kind comments, it's really appreciated. Good luck with your pond build, and I hope all goes well for you👍👍. Just remember, that over 85% of people that build their first pond, make it bigger within the first two years. Just a thought 😁🙂All the best, take care, Terry.

[@MandyJane123700]

@@Wrighty Oh my goodness. I bet that is true. I have three aquariums in the house and decided they weren't big enough. I'll be digging up the yard in no time 🤣

[@Wrighty]

👍👍👌It is true I'm afraid. Take care, Terry.

[@davidantony6146]

Great video as always, however, I can only watch with envy as the temperatures here in Yorkshire are so much lower my covers need to stay on for a couple of weeks longer. I am impatient to see the back of them and the sight of your lovely pond in its full glory only makes my impatience worse.

[@Wrighty]

Hi David, thank you, very much appreciated mate. Hang in there, not long now, warmer weather coming towards the end of the week so they say👍👍hope you have a great season, take care mate, Terry.

[@boxtriker]

Thanks for the shout Terry they look proper job up there mate it reminds people to hit that sub button. The koi channels on KZbin would not be what they are without what you have put out video wise over the years Thanks for all your work videoing you channel

[@Wrighty]

Hi Martyn, and your very welcome mate. I thought, if I put them there, they'd be seen every time I do any video in the filter house. I think we've all helped to promote koi on KZbin mate. You've done as much as I have over the years. You have a great season, and I hope all goes well for you 👍👍take care, Terry.

[@boxtriker]

Thanks mate have a good week

[@mykoiobsession]

The pond and garden are looking great and so nice to see the covers off. Weather here has been up and down from 29C one day to - 4C three days later so our ponds are only starting to slowly warm to a reasonable temperature for the fish. Fingers crossed things warm up and stay that way soon. Congratulations on the number of views...very very impressive. Cheers

[@Wrighty]

Hi Ken, and thank you. Very much appreciated as always mate. The weather here has been up and down, and could be better for the time of year. Hope you and your family are all well. All the best for the new season 👍👍have a good one mate. Thanks again and take care, Terry

[@davemead4504]

Good to see you Terry, hope it’s a good year for you. 👍

[@Wrighty]

Hi Dave, and thanks mate. You have a great season 👍👍take care, Terry.

[@robwl96]

Hey Terry's, good to see the covers off finally! For the bog filter try using pea gravel, the round stones help the water flow. It made a huge difference to mine

[@Wrighty]

Hi Rob, and thanks mate. That's what I wish I had used in the first place. If I ever have to take it out again, I will change it over. Thanks mate and have a great season, take care, Terry.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Great update as always Terry. Gosh the Babies Tears are amazing. Mine is all growing at the back of the pond where sometimes I have cut bits and thrown it on the floor. Fish are.looking good, water is super clear, happy koi season. And what an amazing journey so far on KZbin. Many more years to go!

[@Wrighty]

Hi honeypot, I hope all's well with you 2, and thank you. My baby tears is running riot in the bog filter, and on the ground. Mine did go a bit brown in one place where it had been up against the polyethene, but it will sort it's self out. I have never looked before at how many views I'd had, so it was a bit of a shock when I saw it 😮😮😧 thanks again, and I hope you have a great season, take care, Terry. PS, bring on the warmer weather 🤣🤣

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

@@Wrighty hi, yes we are both well thank you. Lost my big Kujaku though 😞 that was a big blow. I keep wishing for warmer weather... Annoying fluctuations, same old thing. 🙄

[@Wrighty]

Oh wow! Lau, sorry to hear you lost the Kujaku, don't know what I'd do if I lost mine. You must be devastated mate. 🤞🤞🤞fingers crossed for a great season this season, and some warmer weather. Take care, Terry.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

@@Wrighty it's strange isn't it, we can move some fish on and things like that, and then you lose a special one and it's a massive blow. I was really down for a few days, he was quality and really grew nicely so pretty gutted...

[@Wrighty]

That's the problem Lau, we do get so attached to them. I think it's easier to move them on because we believe their going to be looked after and cared for, but when you l lose one, it's so final. I felt just the same Lau, when I lost Nelly (my big 80cm sanke) we do get so attached to them.

[@mrgibbs7916]

Thank you, it's very much appreciated, Terry.

[@garrydavis3517]

Looking really great the pond Terry a nice tree fern or fan palm would look nice in that open space at the back of the pond I have about 5 tree ferns loads of aces red banana plants and olive trees around my pond it looks very tropical keep them coming always looking forward to seeing your video updates 👍

[@Wrighty]

Thanks Garry, and thank you for the advice. I will look into them mate and see what I can come up with. You know what I'm like with gardening lol, but I am getting better 😅😅take care and stay safe mate, Terry.

Great video Terry, good to see the covers off 👍🏼. I've just had some babies tears given me, not sure where to put it yet

[@Wrighty]

Thanks mate. Be a bit careful with the baby tears, once it gets going it can take over. Keep it trimmed. Terry.

[@georgecromar4094]

Hi Terry Thanks for the great videos, info and updates. In the past you've told us how you make dechlorinator. Please would you remind me what the chemical is you use. An update for you. I asked you in the past about stopping the fish knocki the food from the floating inner tubes and keep the food away from the skimmer. A few well placed air stones was the solution 😎 plus adding an inverted fish tank and feed in there...

[@Wrighty]

Hi George, and thank you for your kind comments, very much appreciated mate. The dechlorinator is Sodium Thiosulphate Pentahydrate You can see how I made it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIfdiZKdl7GJoZY&ab_channel=Wrighty at point 13:38 in the video. Love the air stone idea mate👍👍, well done. Have a great season, take care, Terry.

Cracking pond and cracking filtration setup specially as you’ve built it yrself and just a thought for the big filter couldn’t you use a piece of blackout mesh which keeps roots contained as such 🤔

[@Wrighty]

Hi Simon, and thanks, that's not a bad idea. in fact, I think I might have some in the shed. I will look into it, thank you and take care mate, Terry

[@wiggledytoes]

We lost more plants than ever and blame the snow. the plant after the mention of the bottle brush plant is a japanese rose. Relatively easy to take a cutting from and push it into the ground six inches. Best in autumn

16:30 Have I lost the plot or was the gravel itself meant to be the lone biological filter media in that bog filter? I'm not any kind of pond keeper, just someone following along trying to learn and enjoy seeing the fish.

[@Wrighty]

Hi mate, the gravel in the bog filter, is just for the roots of the baby tears to get into, I'm not using it as a bio filter as far as the gravel is concerned. Thanks, Terry.

[@puirYorick]

@@Wrighty Okay. Now that we are on the same page, don't let your missus find out you've spent all that to construct a self-watering flower box for a patch of baby tears. LOL Chuck some Alfagrog(?) under most of the gravel and you can get away with it as a bog filter? Have a great pond season.
