#shorts A shortened version of a crazy video from my mate Andy from the Dramatic Aquatics YouTube channel. He made an inverted aquarium from a small car.....and it actually worked as you will see in his video.

This is a compilation of 5 videos I uploaded to my 'Thousand Yard Stare' channel. Future garden projects and updates will be exclusive to the Thousand Yard Stare channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1pgJBGQrUfCUAhk63U5u5A
I saved up for these projects in 2018 / 2019 as I knew some hard-core nonsense would be coming in 2020.......Time stamps are below:
00:00 Pond and filters
08:28 Off-Grid Solar
19:08 Vegetable Garden #1
30:22 Vegetable Garden #2
59:36 Greenhouse and Hydroponic Towers
The solar system was installed by Sustainable Energy Engineering and this is their website: http://www.susenergy.co.uk/
The mesh I used for the crop protection can be found here: https://ebay.us/jb9FlJ

The price has gone insane since I bought mine in early 2020....I paid around £90 then. Next year it will probably be over £200 if the hyper-inflation continues.
Greenhouse was built by Sekura Windows from Newcastle: https://www.sekurawindows.co.uk/
The lights used in the towers system are 6500K / 2200lm daylight tubes and are only 20W each so a combined total of 80W per system will be cheap to run - mine basically cost nothing to run since they are powered by the 12.4kW solar system. They can be found here: https://geni.us/7AApcMP
I've go some red/blue grow lights to fit in the Winter for when I switch the plant species to tomatoes (red light is better for fruiting plants) and I will show them in a future video. They can be found here: https://ebay.us/VUc4w7 and here: https://geni.us/wws9c0
The tank used for water storage: https://ebay.us/lI9yhH
The whole system can be easily stripped down for relocation if necessary.

Most of the materials used to create the gardens and growing systems have gone way up in price since I bought them as I got most of the parts together in late 2019 early 2020 before the agendas plaguing our World kicked off. There are alternatives at a lower price for sure but the products listed are what I used.
I saved up over a long time to be able to buy the necessary parts to create the food production facilities and what happened in early 2020 was the kick I needed to make it happen. Millions of others have done the same and it is excellent to see people taking charge of their own future.
Fake 'money' exchanged for something of real value?
That's a great deal.

All the Biohome media can be bought here (I supply worldwide):
http://www.filterpro.co.uk (also has links to other suppliers).
This media combines the ultra porous structure of Biohome mini ultra with the added trace elements found in Biohome plus to create the Ultimate filter media.
With the available surface area supporting aerobic bacteria and the protected inner core supporting anaerobic bacteria, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are processed effectively. Works well at high and low flow rates so forget about having to force the volume of your aquarium through the media 'x' amount of times per hour as you would with other types of filter media.
Perfect for both fresh water and marine systems, biohome filter media will replace any ceramic or plastic media in external canister, overhead, trickle, shower, hang on or sump filters.
The added trace elements and open pore structure in Biohome Ultimate offer the ultimate home for all beneficial bacteria, cutting the time taken to establish a strong fully functional bacterial colony a matter of 2-3 weeks and include the following:
Silica, Titania, Alumina, Ferric Oxide, Lime, Magnesia, Potash, Soda, Phosphorus Pentoxide, Chromium Sesquioxide, Manganic Oxide, Zirconia, Hafnia, Zinc Oxide, Barium Oxide, Strontia, Stannic Oxide, Sulphur Trioxide. (from XRF analysis)

Filter media does not get any better than this but for an extra quick set-up time each order taken from Ebay or through the website has free gel filter starter balls (5 per kg) to rapidly seed the filter with live bacteria.
Forget about adding all sort of sachets and monthly chemical absorbers to your filter. Keep it simple and arrange the filter correctly with the best filter media available.
Many of the filter products available are a waste of time and money and will simply mask the problems caused by an ineffective filter. See this video on setting up an external canister filter for directions on how to get the most out of your filter and have it working at maximum efficiency:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szrUlHTW5Zo
Simply protect the media with good graded foams and fine particle matting / pad to remove suspended solids (which clog any filter media) and your media will give you years of service.
The test in this video is to demonstrate how easily the water can find the inner structure of the media as you can say your media has the largest available area for bacteria but if the water can't get there what is the point?. It is not part of a full comparison between filter differen

#shorts A 300x view of brow / red Lava Rock.
http://www.filterpro.co.uk
Lava rock is often claimed to be a great filter media for aquariums and while it can support a decent amount of aerobic bacteria the internal structure is mostly sealed so it has limited use for anaerobic bacteria and will be very unlikely to allow for a full cycle (reduction of nitrate) as a consequence.
However, it is very cheap and makes a great DIY filter media.
The eyes don't lie and when you get a zoomed in view you can make your own decisions......why do no other channels show INSIDE filter media they (are often paid to) promote?
Because "trust the science".
Nope, trust what you see.

Construction of a medium sized wildlife pond at Seaton Burn, in Northumberland approx. 10 miles north of Newcastle. Varied shelf depths allow for planting in the Spring and two hibernacula provide shelter for amphibians, invertebrates etc.
Each hibernaculum was constructed by making a pile of logs and branches set back from the pond. It was covered by the old underlay which came from the old pond, then soil dug out when digging the pond covered the underlay. Finally, strips of rough turf that were lifted whilst deconstructing the old pond were placed over the soil to give a more natural look.
Each hibernaculum had various places around the edges that were left uncovered so animals could get access and exit from it.
Finished pond is approx 20' x 15' x 2' deep and has a stone edge (cemented) for safe access to the bottom half of the pond.
Materials for the pond came from Tyne Valley Aquatics in Mickley, near Prudhoe in Northumberland - I use it for all my aquarium and pond supplies.

Video explaining the needs and methods of care for dwarf cichlids from South America. The fish in this video are much smaller than many of the cichlids commonly kept in tropical fish tanks and most species of South American dwarf cichlids will not exceed 9cm (males).
Cichlids below 10cm are generally considered to be dwarf varieties.
Although dwarf cichlids are found in a variety of habitats throughout South America, generally speaking most will prefer pH below 7 and soft water to show best colouration and be most content. Bogwood, peat balls, almond leaves, oak leaves and alder cones are natural ways to reduce the pH and soften water in a home aquarium. All of these natural treatments may stain the water a light brown, which adds to the authentic look of an 'Amazon tank'.
Most of the South American dwarf cichlids will use caves to breed in but some (including blue ram) are classed as 'open spawners' and prefer to lay their eggs on curled up leaves e.g. almond or oak in an aquarium. Almond and oak leaves have natural anti fungal and anti bacterial properties which leach out into the water, protecting the eggs and help to acheive a better hatch rate.
A good dwarf cichlid aquarium set-up would generally include a sand substrate, bogwood and plants. Natural tankmates include corydoras, tetra species, small plec species (and angelfish or discus in a large tank).
Whilst generally very peaceful fish, all dwarf cichlids will defend their eggs and fry from other tankmates so it is best to allow for an 'exclusion zone' around the breeding site when planning the number and type of other tankmates.
For cave spawners, bogwood which forms natural 'caves' is often used (as shown in this video) for egg laying as is coconut shell, small half ceramic plant pots on their side or other suitable artificial 'cave' features.
Tank bred fish will eat a wide range of foods including flake, pellets, frozen and live food. Wild caught fish will be picky at first so feeding on mostly live food will be essential, introducing prepared foods in the diet until the fish become comfortable accepting a wider range of foods.
All of the fish in this video were filmed in the tanks of my shop 'Tyne Valley Aquatics' but that is now closed. I work from home and my website if http://www.filterpro.co.uk
The 'balloon' varieties are generally bred in Asia and not a natural strain of fish (not my favorites by a long shot) and yes, I know I spelt borelli wrong - it should be borellii.
