Used to have these on VHS. In his prime was a bit of a lad, but lot's of great info from his first 3 books. Remember meeting him at a Carp Society slide show and talk many years ago, then went outside for a demo of his air powered boilie cannon thing 😀 Part one: Part two: No copyright infringement intended but think some of a certain age might like this ?

Hi guys I thought I would make a quick how to guide for uploading videos from youtube. First find the video you want to share. Then click on the arrow. Then this appears Click copy link and you get a short code come up. All you need to do is click paste and bingo You want your link to be embedded like above. I think it's best if you try and include the title of the video in the title of the post as it will make them easier to look through. Hope this helps @salokcinnodrog might be useful as a sticky?

Thanks for doing that mate 👍. Unfortunatly I make a complete 'dogs dinner' about my links recently, should improve in the future now. Not sure if any mods can do this, but maybe remove my post in the YouTube section and I can replace it with a topic with a proper heading and hopefully a proper link this time! 😃

I will invent a poopult to deliver it back 😂 Either that or the lake owner wouldn't see it because I would have already trodden in it.

I knew I had it somewhere..

Well the end of the year has gone well. The koi are doing great and still feeding most days due to the elevated temps. The nets/covers are now off since the leaves are gone. The water clarity is insane.... you can see every little detail on the deck in 2m. The temporary floating skimmer has worked a treat. I picked up a pond vacuum a month ago and gave the bottom a good clean at the weekend which means there's no detritus for any nasties to hide in ready for the spring. It's a real shame I can't post vids on here as I have some great footage of the koi milling about. So now I need to plan for spring which apparently is the most tricky and dangerous time of year. Parasites wake up before the koi so it's essential I do everything I can to keep their immune systems working as well as possible. If you lose your water parameters early on, you're chasing your tail all year, so I have to be bang on it to stay a step ahead of any issues with algae, weed, DO, and ammonia, nitrite, pH etc. Really enjoyed the last few months and looking forward to my first full year with the pond. Looking to feed heavily next year to get some good growth, while maintaining the water quality. I'll keep this thread updated from time to time for anyone that's interested.
