New project, will take a long time
- Thread starter Yanbbrox
- Start date
Guys after the recent clean up the bump game is over, it was always going to happen at some point as it was getting out of hand, plus a little bit of frustration about the recent lack of progress, so if people want to play then here is the link for the lounge:

I don't think anyone will mind people playing there^^^^
If anyone has got valid questions, points, comments etc. and want to share them I don't have an issue with someone putting a BFZ and the end of there post as long as it it valid but if it gets out of hand then someone will, just remember that when posting. Sorry if I'm being all OTT but I still want to share the journey.
I'm not a mod so I don't know who deleted everything but it was
getting a but silly.
Anyway back on topic.. I've got a week off next week and the plan in to add down pipes to all the vortex waste tank connectors to make the inlet mms from the bottom of the chambers as they are a good 10cms off the bottom. When I try to purge the chambers all sorts of 'not crap' comes out and the waste stays at the bottom, so I'm going to drain the whole filter system again to add these, this will also give me another opportunity to have another go at plugging the 2 remaining leaks, all while it's between 0 c and 2c out side.
I'll shop something up to show what I mean

Oh thank god. I can re-subscribe. (sorry, I guess this is useless, I just wanted to give whatever mod did the cleanup a pat on the back.) Hopefully the same thing happens with Necro's build thread.
Sorry if people have been put off, things will be back on track from now on, pond talk only. I actually posted a link to another member the other day after an ask of how it was going and it was about 5 pages back so fair play for the clean upcvermeulen;2459460; said:
Hey Yan, i hope you dont mind. I just started reading this thread, and I wanted to let you know my plan. I'm going to read this badboy, front to back and update you as I go. I will not read ahead. I'm currently in the middle of July and you're working out the bracing for the filtration wall.
I will not read ahead and the reason for me posting this is because people rarely go back and read their long DIY threads. I've found it's really nice for the original DIYer, or original poster to follow along with someone as they read.
I want to voice my concerns and ideas for the problems that i'm currently reading. I know that there's 4 more months of posts ahead of where I'm at, and anything I talk about will be long since addressed and handled, but it should make for a nice read for you, to see someone go through the ups and downs with you, long after you have.
I feel it's a little payback for giving me a thread I can sit back and enjoy from start to finish.
1) your backyard is awesome. theres nothing like that in my town, or majority of the US.
Anyway, looks great. good cozy layout. Nice fire pit!
2) I really think you should try to work in an Algae scrubber. I believe i've seen you post in that "Mega awesome OMG SUPER DUPER FILTRATION" thread, or whatever it's called that's by Santa Monica regarding algae scrubbers, but i'm not sure. Anyway, I believe someone in there used it in a koi pond that was completely covered in algae. It worked great for them, and should continue to do so.
3) is there anyway to get a pic with a person standing or laying down in the hole? i just want to get some perspective on this monster. could be epic. feels epic anyway.
4) what are your other plans for the backyard once the monster is done? just landscaping or whatever. off topic or on topic. just curious about your planned layout. i really love the backyard.
again, i know these concerns have probably been addressed on a later page, but I feel you deserve to see someone follow along with this thread and interact with it much like a good book, or a good movie. I'm the guy that screams at the movie screen in theaters
