    John your parcel should be with you Tuesday, used but in excellent condition .
    You're lucky Anne, all we have under our bed is dust and dead mice the cat brings in. That reminds me, I must get rid of of them as they are beginning to stink the bedroom out now. Not sure what is worst the mice or my old slippers lol

    John just from my own experience mate, dont bother with the aqua source food, especially not the hi growth anyway. The hi growth browned/tinged/trashed my water up the worst of any food ive tried. The basic feeds was ok though but hi growth will definitely never go back in my pond, the fish didnt really take to it either. Just my opinion though and feel free to give it a go.

    Thats a bummer working xmas day mate. Our lass is working xmas day as well. Cafe.
    My temps are 7.8c
    Normally there on the bottom now.
    But just took this photo.
    I am well chuffed.
    I have a couple of gaps in the cover to let gas out. So i reckon if i seal that it would probably be 8c upwards.

    what a day i have had with my draco drum. problem.
    i heard my drum sewage draining away in the sink under my conservatory window. i listened. then thought to myself that is continuous
    that was at 0700an this morning. went to investicate it.

    when i looked at the draco console on the wall. it was cleaning then stopping for about 10 seconds then started up again.
    so i thought to myself. either the water sensor. or the water level with pond skimmer. i also noticed the water was higher then normal in my nexus 320 so got the pressure washer out and cleaned the mesh screens. was not that.

    so i pushed the sensor up and down and this did nothing. still kept going on and off as stated above.
    so i lowered and raised the draco drum up and down over about 4 hours. looked at the drum holding handles and thought to myself. they look as though they have dropped a fraction.
    there held with 2 bolts next to each other. so got my drill out and drilled a top hole in the top of the handle lugs. that hold the drum four in total. so this will now stop the handles moving if the nuts decide to loosen.

    turned it all back on. and still it was turning on and off. its now 1530pm. this was doing my head in. so I am now thinking the sensor is knackered.
    I am now scratching my bald napper. just as I was bout to walk away I turned my skimmer off. and UV. LOW AND BEHOLD. it started to work as normal
    I left it for a quarter of an hour. perfect. started it back up again and it was knackerd again. so kept turning skimmer line on and off plus uv. and same. I then turned my uv off and left the skimmer running.
    and everything was fine. so it turned out it runs good again with my uv off. as soon as I turn the uv back on again its knackard again. so it turns out its my uv after all that

    but what I cannot get my head around . is its a uv on my skimmer line and not from my nexus. plus its got its own sockets. as has the nexus. GREMLINS or what. so now I have left the skimmer uv off. as I have a nexus ea 55 watt uv still running. and everthing is running great again. with that uv on skimmer turned off. had my son who is a electrician . check everything and everything with uv and sockets are great. so still cannot understand it.

    Morning Fred,your an early bird this am
    Trying to get my head round your problem,let me see if i have your system right Fred.
    Bottom drain to nexus through Draco into bio then pumped through a uv to return,think you said you had two uv?
    Skimmer to pump [or have you a seive first] to faulty uv to return?

    Anne is a case,makes me laugh every time she comes on here.
    Correct me where i am wrong on above Fred.
    John
