Work Starts On The New RDF.

[@jimwoollard8329]

Terry I know the temptation to always do a bit more is hard to resist but please dont over do it. Your health is far more important than anything else! We will still be here for when you release a video so please do not rush.

[@Wrighty]

Hi Jim, thanks mate, much appreciated. the wife's keeping a close eye on me so not allowed to do much lol. Must admit I'm feeling better by the day. Thanks again mate, Terry.

[@chrischeltenham]

Evening Terry, not good to hear you have been back in hospital again. Hopefully this time things will pick up for you and you get back to 100% quickly. Stay out of the rain as you don't want pneumonia next. It's not long now and it will be Christmas again I don't know where the year has gone. The new RDF is coming along nicely and looks smart in the plastic so far and I am sure will look great once completed. Once again good job Mrs Wrighty :-). All the best and don't push yourself too much. :-)

[@Wrighty]

Hi Chris, and thanks mate. as you know it's always appreciated. Think I'm on the right track now though mate. Feeling better by the day. Soon be back to my old self. The wife's making sure I don't over do it lol. The thing is she has to go in to hospital next week for a op on her knee, so I've got to look after her lol. So I will be kept busy lol. Thanks mate, Terry.

Wow! sorry to hear that mate, I hope the new pond build goes well for you. I must admit, I love building ponds and getting new koi. Think I should have done it for a living. Too old now. You take care mate, Terry.

Hi Mark, and thank you for your kind comments mate, it's really appreciated. I think in them 4 years, I've been learning with you mate. I must say that we've come a long way in that time.

Hi Terry. I'm going to echo what so many people have already said...put your health first and your pond and videos second. From your videos iIt's easy to see how passionate you are about your koi and the pond but your health is more important. Take time to recover fully before you worry about putting out any more videos. This one was great as usual.

Hi mate and thank you. I have my UV before the RDF. Thanks, Terry.

@@Wrighty good to know.i was getting some stick from a guy on a pond group over mine before filters, i think when uv kills the algea filter can pick it up..yes/no..your opion counts

[@Wrighty]

I have mine before the filter for that exact reason. It's not sending dead algae back to the pond. Also I run a bio moving bed after my filters, and to have the UV after that would kill any good bacteria going back to the pond. They say it's good for the UV to get a clean water feed, which may be correct. But I've never had a problem with dirt in my UV. I do clean the glass when I change the bulb every season, but you have to do the same weather the UV was before or after the filter. It's just a matter of personal choice. Terry.

Hi Wrighty, Question regarding the construction materials; how thick did you go with the polypropylene plastic sheets? I'm considering building the tank of my Arduino powered DIY RDF with the same stuff, but pricing seems to vary greatly depending on thickness, so I wanna make sure I opt for something that doesnt collapse as soon as it's full. Love your videos!

[@Wrighty]

Hi mate, thank you. I used 6mm PP as my RDF only runs half full which works fine. I also used it on my moving bed which does run full and it did bow the walls slightly when full. So I did strengthen it around the middle. Terry.

What would you say roughly your pond cost you to Build ( I know you did most of it yourself). Anyone from UK who has pics of there Pond that they have had built and price they paid let me know. I’m looking at expanding.

Where did you buy the mesh on your rdf from

[@alexruddy92]

Hi do you make to sell the RDFs

[@Wrighty]

Hi Alex, I don't build the RDF's for people, but I do sell the build instruction so people can build their own. Check out my website: diypondfilters.com you'll find all the info there. Terry.

Take care mate TERRY WAS YOU SELF UR HELTH COME FIRST

[@Wrighty]

[@electoplater]

Sorry terry thats one way not to make a tank

[@Wrighty]

I'm no expert mate as you know, but it will do the job I want it for. Thanks, Terry.

@@Wrighty sorry if you thought my comment was rude, in hind sight i think it was on the untactful side but to make it clear the tank you have made is going to leak if not in a week or a month but eventually it will you never start or finish a weld in the corner, you have to cut a lenth of welding rod to a lenth that will go round the base of the tank in one go.You tack the hole tank together then start welding inside three welds outside three welds best regards humphrey

Hi Humphrey, no offence taken at all mate. Like I said, I'm just a novice, new to plastic welding. If at some point it does leak I suppose I can get the gun out and repair, or go round with a sealant. It will only have about 30.5cm of water in it anyway. Thanks, Terry.

@@Wrighty hi terry friends again just to let you know sealant wont stick to pp but yo can cut a v groove in the otside seam with a wood scraper or a router with a v cutter then weld again hope it does not come to that, here is a tip imagine if you were going to make a tank 2 feet square by 2feet hiigh you would need 5 pieces which you would lay on the floor or bench in the shape of a st george cross , the center one would be the bottom of the tank first tak weld around the four sides of the bottom piece so it joins every side then lift up two sides edge to edge then tack weld then do the same again to other two sides you then have a tacked together box, you wiil notice on the outside you have a L shape or a channel which you then fill with weld best regards

[@Wrighty]

Hi Humphrey, was always friends mate. Thanks for the tip on building a box, that makes perfect sense. I will go around the outside of the box, cut a V and re-weld. That's good advice mate, thanks, Terry.
