Hi Your videos are a blessing.
I wake up every morning.
My head is banging I'm long a time heath suffer. Just watching one of your videos and listening to your voice. Makes my relax just for as
long as it lasts. It's enough for my head to settle. I must have watched all you videos over over and over again. I look out for you alert to come up so I can watch it the following morning. Thanks for helping with my head every morning and please 🙏 carry on posting 📫
I had my own pond but now I'm kept in a dingy old care home. They let me have my dog and a 5 gal tank but that's it. I wish I could have time to sit and feed some wonderful koi.
You will understand when you get old like me. (89) No-one wants a old fart around taking up their time.
Thank-you again your voice is so calm. 🐟🐟🐟🐟

Hi Jeff, that bluelabs monitor looks interesting, let us know how you get on with it,

[Simonsimps]

Great run through of everything. You need to press the top button (Units) on the guardian to read TDS, the light will be green next to TDS matey. Wish I had one, maybe one day but not this year. Have fun with all the new gear. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Quality 👌 Maybe in future a Finch Filtration Innovation System ♻ RO Unit (Small 1) looks like it fit nicely on wall near vyair. 😉 👍

Great video Jeff as always. Your filter house is becoming a gadget house :-) Love it. I need to research what conductivity is as I dont even understand the word :-)

Nice update the dpd rapid 4 should give you a reading straight away after two mins the test will turn a pink shade. I test through the declorinator then again test day after with the dpd 4stay safe 🙏🐟🐟🐟🙏

Good video Jeff, great test kits they are just keep an eye on the expiration date and the temps your store it at, nice one 👍👍😀😀blue lab ph seems a hell of a lot better than the seneye 👍👍👍

[jiffsterkoi]

My PH is always over 8 mate fish are good can’t seem to lower it at all 👍🏼👍🏼

Good simple test kit. I missed what your nitrAte level is at. You just probably didn't show it but with the NitrAte testing you have to shake bottle #1 vigorously for 30 seconds to dissolve the sediment at the bottom of the bottle that accumulates when the bottle has been sitting for long. If not shaken it may likely give you a false reading of zero. I'm going to enjoy watching that handy guardian set up of yours. Very cool.

7th 🤣
Jeff your conductivity is at 6 which seems almost impossible without using RO usually its higher out of the tap and climbs even higher in the pond due to feeding ect. Maybe it needs calibrating. Or maybe your water is the holy grail 🤣
Great update man

[marekskoipond]

Not happy, you're costing me money lol 😁, just ordered the guardian, getting a bit OCD, checking ph/kh
everyday after ph crash, think it's where I replaced soil in plant baskets, sucked all the kh out of the pond, ph/kh wasn't registering on my idip tester, everything OK now, 3 days dosing with bicarb. out of interest what tds reading have you got.

[MikeZak]

to be honest mate a ph of over 8 with any ammonia is worrying
