Thats it until tomorrow. Filter media thats to be used . Also the PP chemical is to disinfect the K1 media that is going in the easy pod. My plan is to take same amount from my pond nexus and replace in the nexus with the new. By PP speeds it up to mature by about half the time.
Its also a parasites treatment pp means parasite permanganate
Use it to disinfect nets and anything that has had infections.


Thats it folks for today

Ian m cheers pal the fiber glassing is now starting monday. As my electrician could nt make it yesterday. Coming today. So glassing now monday. I could of bought a mould tank for half the price. But i like this idea better. If i had bought a mould tank. I would of had to rebuild the front of the shed to fit it through. So it was six of one. Half a dozen of the other. Plus this setup is tried and tested all the best fred

Quick tip! (lol)
Permanganate is great for curing smelly feet........ How do I know?........ Not telling!

 

[frederick thompson]

Haha nice one i bet it is. If not mixed right probably take your skin off. Can imagine you with your feet in bowl of pink fluid. And waiting for it to run its course. Ha ha.

The most beautiful contrast in this journal from an epic pond build is, the picture from that tiny inflateable hot tub/wirlpool.
Cant wait for the summer and seeing a pic of that with you in it smocking a big sigar and a bottle of champagne next to the pond.

One word, biblical! "True happines can only be acheived by doing more for others than you do for yourself".

It also saves on buying socks!..... Just as long as your into purple ones! 😉
