A early morning dig which turns up a few finds but no silver this time. I was helped toward the end of the dig by my son and his Garrett Ace 150. Check out my other detecting videos. Subscribe for more.... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wODoRfw7en8

Good filter for a quarantine tank or fish which don't like a high flow? Superfish Hang On 500 (Amazon): https://geni.us/ew3cXIt Superfish Hang On 500 (Ebay): https://ebay.us/UezDeR Foams, Biohome Ultimate, Biogravel etc: http://www.filterpro.co.uk (FilterPro site has links to Biohome suppliers in other countries) Follow me on Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@PondGuru:0 Contact me on 07772848730 / sales@filterpro.co.uk (I don't do texts) The Superfish Hang On 200 is a slimline hang on the back filter which uses a cartridge system which can be repurposed to free up space inside the filter for biological media. In the video I got approx. 900g / 2 lb of Biogravel into the filter either in 3 x 300g mesh bags or 1 x 900g mesh bag - that makes the filter suitable for tanks of up to 100 litres / 26 US gallons for a normal stock or half that for a heavy stock (if the goal is to achieve a FULL cycle). The plastic used for the filter is very similar to thick 'Tupperware' plastic and is not brittle like some HOB filters. Even the pipes and other fittings use the same plastic so there is little danger of breaking it. A full cycle is completed by bacteria - the aerobic part of biological filtration which processes ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate followed by an anaerobic part which processes nitrate into soluble nitrogen which bubbles off to the atmosphere. Therefore it requires a suitable amount of excellent quality filter media to be able to provide the environment for both aerobic AND anaerobic bacteria - that is what Biohome filter media does perfectly but even with such good media there are limitations and we recommend the following amounts for different stocking scenarios: (1 US Gallon = 3.8 litres) (1kg = 2.2 lbs) Average community tropical aquarium = 1kg per 100 litres Average coldwater aquarium = 1kg - 1.5kg per 100 litres Predator aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Large cichlid aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Malawi / Tanganyikan aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Marine aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Average mixed fish pond = 1kg per 200 litres Average koi pond = 1kg per 150 litres You may be disagreeing with the above figures but remember that they are for a FULL CYCLE not half a job - achieving 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite is quite easy since aerobic bacteria grows freely on any surface but the anaerobic bacteria responsible for COMPLETING the cycle needs more a specialized habitat. Remember to use a water conditioner which does not bind / detoxify ammonia, nitrite or nitrate as that type of conditioner will severely limit bacteria numbers by starving the bacteria of 'food'. Size a filter properly, set it up sensibly and you will have perfect water - it's that simple....and your filter won't be the dreaded 'Nitrate fact ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is7MExiLhRg

http://www.vhhydro.com The hydroponics towers from Vertical Horizons are now available in 3 sizes - 1m (for 18 plants), 1.5m (for 30 plants) and 2m (for 45 plants) and the cost is excellent considering the care and detail involved in the manufacturing. They come with everything needed to create a productive vertical garden and everything is food safe, recycled or recyclable. Hydroponic systems take very little maintenance and produce great yields on a tiny footprint. In my opinion the incredibly low running costs, high yields and low maintenance make hydroponic systems the method of choice for my leafy veg growing although I have grown micro bush tomatoes and various herbs in them no problem. As the nutrient requirements can be very different for leafy and fruiting plants I prefer to have separate systems for each type of plants so I can get the nutrients in solution right for the plant - that way they grow faster, mature quickly and yields are always great. The desktop hydroponic planter I grew the lettuce in was shown first here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMhR0MfSQsg and can be bought from Letpot here: https://letpot.com/ You can follow my drive toward self-sufficiency, gardening and food production experiments on the Thousand Yard Stare channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1pgJBGQrUfCUAhk63U5u5A If you prefer a free speech platform to watch content then please check out my channels on Odysee and Rumble: Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@ThousandYardStare:e Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1824507 To be honest I've not much idea of what Rumble is or does but it seems quite popular among people more tech-savvy than me....and somehow plenty of people have already found the videos judging by the views (and 'Rumbles'?).
