    Giving Up For Now :(

    So It is with a heavy heart, I have been forced to admit that pond build #2 is looking like pie in the sky at the moment and will quite possibly going to need to be put on hold for another couple of years .

    House renovations are taking much longer and costs are spiralling.... we have recently discovered we need to replace half the roof and Mrs R wants a new kitchen etc etc.

    With this in mind I've took the decision to sell my gear, instead of it sitting another couple of years taking up space in the garage.

    I plan to dig it all out of the garage, photograph and list for sale on the For Sale section very soon, but just thought I'd post like this in case anyone was interested?

    I will photograph and pm anyone that is looking for anything in particular and I'm open to sensible offers especially if anyone fancies the lot?

    (Everything highlighted was bought new and only had two seasons use)

    1x Oase Proficlear Compact Gravity (c/w approx. 65 litres Hel-x media)
    1x Hydro-Pro Z7 Inverter Heat Pump. (Was purchased new by owner before me and he upgraded after 2 seasons) Wifi module / App control + auto de-ice heating element added.
    2x Bermuda 10,000, Vari Wi-fi App control Pumps.
    1x Evo-Aqua 20,000 Vari Pumps. (Bermuda Wifi App Control Works with this also)
    2x Evo-Aqua 70L Air Pumps.
    1x Evo-Aqua 55w UV,
    1x 48" Big Blue De-chlorinator,
    1x Aqua-Sieve Midi,
    1x Profi Auto Feeder
    1x Seneye Pond Pack.


    EZ-pond 1200i Semi-Raised Pond, Spin-drifter BD, Oase Aquaskim, Oase Proficlear Compact Gravity, 1x Bermuda 10,000, 1x Evo-Aqua 20,000 Vari Wi-fi Pumps, 2x Evo-Aqua 70L Air Pumps , Evo-Aqua 55w UV, Aqua-Sieve Midi, 3 Tier Fabricated Stainless Shower, Hydro-Pro Z7 Heat Pump, 48" Big Blue De-chlorinator, Profi Auto Feeder & Seneye Pond Pack.

    That's the plan.

    I'm afraid needs must at the moment though .
    I thought by the time I put a spade in the ground again, the gear will have been stood for perhaps 4 years?
    I'd sooner some one else get use out of it whilst still in good nick and start again fresh.
    Next pond will be larger anyway

    Hi Dave,

    Hope you are well?

    I still keep an eye on your posts and YouTube channel.
    Your pond, water quality and fish all look fab and are credit to the amount of research, time and effort you put in.

    I do hope to get back in to the hobby again one day and as soon as realistically possible.
    But alas, its no use trying build a better setup than the one I closed down, without the cash and time to do it properly and to a standard I want to ?
    (I'm a bit of a fussy bugger ) I think you need to be to do this hobby right?
    That's why I thought Id sell my stuff and start again with new and improved gear when feasible.

    Sad to hear but you know what's best!!

    Also sad you were not closer as Id take the 2 air pumps off you, albeit mine that has died is a 130 one would tide me over ��
