Temp are slowly on the increase, now into double figures here (but still cold at night). Hope this is helping your meds and general pond maintenance. GL Yan, not bored yet!
New project, will take a long time

thanks for the great news. we are all here waiting for good news. glad to hear the scrapings went well. . as Zenn said you have struggled through alot but hey with all you have had to do on upgrades I doubt you should have any major expenses once this thing is stable again. well other than maybe a $2000 koi lol
Thanks Andy, glad to see your still reading.Aquarist Andy;4098493; said:
I'm still not over ten but very close to it.
I'm hoping not to need anymore meds, I've got more scrapes to do next week to see if anything is still lingering, by that time I'll be over ten anyway.

If by upgrades you mean sticking a ton of filter floss in the chambers then yes lots of upgrades
More maintenance than anything else.The big upgrade is coming in May, I'm assembling a small army to help as we speak.
Old filters are coming out and the filter area filled in, piping is going to take the feed from the corner now underground to the new filter area where the upgrades will be housed. From there I'll set up a temp return while I see what happens and can decide if I need to re-add anymore before finishing the return proper.
All this in 24 hours, I need to setup a webcam link for that day
take lots of pics. I can't wait to see whats coming in
Seriously? a few grown men either filling in a hole/digging another with a lot of head scratching whilst I moan about the joys of solvent welding big pipes?zennzzo;4101010; said:

Will do, can't show the first bit of the puzzle the attachments are working still.greengiant;4102231; said:
PM me your email address if you want to see, brother Zen has had a sneak peak already.
Wasn't this suggested very early on, and you instead wanted to do it the hard way? Or...maybe I'm just crazy.

This is the exact unit I've just got:

Pause it at 10 sec.
The water comes in on the right, round the internal vortex and up through the k1 in the middle chamber, down the pipe in the middle to the outer chamber which is aerated fluid bed to return.
The main difference is the ease at which you clean it. You put a pipe in the middle and direct the air to the middle which fluidizes the inner k1 and drain to waste.
I've no idea how the hell I'm going to install it yet but the very rough plan is to replace the 1st vortex with this unit(which won't fit) pump the return from the nexus via a 50/50 split, one to the foam fractionator and the other one to the other two vortexes to gravity return, somehow
I've got a few days to work it out, it's being delivered in the week.
pm sent
what is that unit worth? I may need to get one.
