    As most of you more experienced guys will know... when rushing because it’s still wet... screwing is almost impossible to find the hole!

    The bottom drain & skimmer & return went like a dream... However I have made a bit of a mess of the window frame so will need to add some additional work to ensure it will be water tight, its on me I rushed & cut before thinking but still expect it to come good with a lot of sealant

    A LOT OF SEALANT!

    It’s NOT conventional but I’m confident it will do the job!

    Newb!


    Finally the replacement UV Evo 25w arrived, Can’t complain as I got it FREE from Bradshaws when I purchased my Eazy Pod!

    *If that is of interest for anyone about to purchase an Eazy Pod their current offer is for a pump but they were glad to offer an alternative in my case

    The unconventional is a skimmer going straight into bottom drain 4” pipe work supposed to be unbalanced but my pipe work is so short and I have a ball valve on skimmer 2” pipe

    My plays to fill the pond were held up because I installed the skimmer but forgot to remove access pipe to bring skimmer level to 75mm below water level... it would probably still be ok but I’ve ordered a straight connector and will cut it down to size tomorrow, that will then allow me to finally put the glass in, then boom Newb!

    I notice you have a rubber boot on the pipe inside the pond. You need to cover the stainless steel band bolt and end or they will tear your fish to pieces. A band of pond liner tied right around the band in a knot can work.

    I had thought of it as an issue but never though of covering it, so will take good advice & cover with left over pond liner cut into strips, thanks
