    I didn’t have a ‘jumper’ but a similar situation when watching a Koi in my Mum’s pond.

    We were just chatting and admiring them when one of them just laid over and floated to the top!!!

    I...

    Ammonia at 0.5? On my pond, if I had NH3 at 0.5 I’d be worried. Above 0.25 and alarms go off in my head.

    Maybe I’m too over cautious but 0.2 and I’m ok...for a short while.

    0.25 I definitely...

    You’re dead right, those connector blocks are ridiculously fiddly. So much so that when I connected the box up the first time, I broke one of the connectors off the circuit board so had to strip the...

    It ran my Sequence 15k, EA 110w UV, two Jebao 7,000 pumps and two EA 95 pumps (on one line).
