Getting pissed off as havnt been able to do anything since Thursday waiting for some sealant to be delivered.
Ordered on Thursday they say it was posted Thursday and delivery Sat or mon,no delivery come,got a tracking no on the Mon so I think it was posted on the moon.
Not happy with Ebay at the moment,this is the second in a month.!!!John

I always find it funny you can get stuff from China in a week and stuff from London takes twice as long

Put some water in the tank this morning to test the shower and seive.
Spray over the outlet was rubbish so quickly changed it to a 90 bend not glued and works great and can swivel it a bit to get the best flow.
Outlet at the bottom are four 1.5ins,two are pointing down and will go under water eventually.
Getting a good circular flow and no leaks!!!
As it has been empty for a bit there is a lot of crap coming off the pipes and collecting in the seive
What can I put in to clean the pipes,is it pp or chloramine T? Bleach is a it harsh but I know a guy who uses that with no harm

Q/t all finished and full of water ready for a delivery of 150 six week old tomorrow morning from New Forest koi.
Putting the media in in the morning as its maturing in the main shower and getting the temp up to 18 deg as it's only 16.5 from the mains.
Got a 1 kw heater in and its pulling down well,didn't want to drill any holes so made a contraption to hold the heater watertight which you can see the other side of the shower.
S/t in and sod bicarb as I have no kh.
Will put some pics up in the morning when they come.
Come on Frim hurry up your turn.John

Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
