This is a decent sized filter and it seems to be well made too. The flow rate is lower than some similar filters from other manufacturers but flow rate isn't everything....as I explain at the end of the video. In this video I also explain how a full cycle (reduction in nitrate) is possible in a canister filter since so many people have trouble understanding how Nature works. See below for notes on how much media is recommended for different stocking scenarios. The Q&A page of the FilterPro site has extensive notes on recommended treatments and how filtration works.

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 factory'.....you'll spend less money on treatments too......basically the filter is the foundation of a successful aquarium. This series of videos is all about trying to squeeze more efficiency out of internal and external aquarium filters which generally have a limited filtering capacity We all are on a long path of learning.........

Yup, maybe I'm being a bit too generous in this first giveaway, lol..... There's probably the best part of £500 of gear being given away here. Will there be anything left for subsequent giveaways?......yeah, no worries as I have been planning this for a few years. All you have to do to win this package to be delivered in time for Christmas is be in the UK, be subscribed to this channel and comment on the video with a personal story about camping - it could be something awesome, something scary or something disastrous.....camping can go many ways.... In mid-December I will check which comment has the most thumbs up and that person will be the winner - as viewers of this channel you're effectively judging yourselves which is the most democratic way to choose a winner. In a time where 'democracy' has essentially become fascism in the developed nations (US, EU and UK especially....) I thought I'd bring back true democracy and let the people choose. ...... and I promise there won't be any mysterious arrival of thousands of votes (all for one person) in the middle of the night.......people with eyes to see know what I'm talking about, lol These giveaway videos are simply a way for me to bring some joy to individuals who watch my videos and are capable of thinking for themselves in hard times. My promise to you: I'll never accept payment for featuring products, I'll never have channel 'memberships', I'll never ask for any payment from you for anything and I will never sell out to the machine. My main channel 'Pondguru' stalled when I reached 100K subscribers and I turned down the Faustian pact offered to me by Google ..... and I will do it again without hesitation for this channel. We all make our own destiny but if I can help you along the way I will do so whenever I can.

Rodless Reel Website: https://rodlessreel.com/ Rodless Reel Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RodlessReel Catching a big Carp on the UFO reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0kpjy9aDLA Thanks to Myles from Rodless Reel for sending these reels to show my viewers. They are very different from anything currently available from other manufacturers and both of them solve the common problem of missing the reel when retrieving the line. The Survivor series of reels is made from plastic, is extremely light and is the cheaper of the two reels. The UFO series of reels (Unidentified Fishing Object) is machined from an anodized Aluminum spool and core with Stainless Steel handle, 35 Ball Bearings. As we're heading into Winter and my local river is a raging flood I tried to catch fish on my pond but they weren't biting while filming this video - I will keep trying and film it for upload to the THOUSAND YARD STARE channel. On the RODLESS REEL YouTube channel Myles catches lots of fish on both types of reels. Thanks for watching.

The Nano filters can be found here: http://www.minicompletetank.com Filter Kits, Foams, Biohome, Biogravel etc: http://www.filterpro.co.uk (FilterPro site has links to Biohome suppliers in other countries) Eheim Mech: https://geni.us/lXrB7 Eheim Substrat Pro: https://geni.us/98euQaB (decent alternative to Biogravel). This tiny canister filter is very well made and comes with all the features of a 'normal' sized external filter - check the link above to see available sizes and options for body construction (plastic or stainless steel). Hopefully the filter you choose is still on offer as the offer price represents quite good value considering the internal filter alternatives (which generally are not good and would take up valuable space in a 'nano' tank). As the tank size gets smaller the level of care invariably increases so having a good filter becomes way more important, especially when livestock is introduced and although I'm generally not a fan of nano tanks I'd recommend this filter as a way to properly care for the water quality (and also the livestock). Having the ability to adjust the flow on the pump (4 settings) is an excellent idea and it is refreshing to see such a common sense feature on such a small filter. I may have edited the part out explaining what the sealed off air line is on the top of the filter........d'oh!.....it is a CO2 injection point so you can integrate CO2 into the pump intake for distribution back into the tank......another nice feature.

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.

My foraging basket: https://geni.us/0g6dRi Opinel No.8 knife: https://geni.us/Oytj Collins mushroom book: https://geni.us/UHenUIB My Amazon review for the mushroom book: https://amzn.to/3WGLDlR Collins food for free book: https://geni.us/pMOj8I Dehydrator I use: https://ebay.us/Q5e11d A quick hunt with my friend Colin in the local woods where one small area has produced a nation of Penny Bun, Hedgehog Fungus and Amethyst Deceiver in the past. Today it gave up lots of Horn of Plenty and some surprise Winter Chanterelle - it is a really productive spot and I'll be back soon for more Winter Chanterelle. This is foraging for FREE FOOD and considering the current cost (and scarcity) of shop-bought food we would be crazy not to harvest what Nature is providing for us. As we wandered all over the wood with our baskets containing fungi there will surely be millions of spores distributed into suitable areas so in years to come there will be more of this bountiful natural crop to harvest. On a serious note, it is very important to learn as many 'outdoor' skills as you can since you never know when you need them. Having knowledge of natural environments, shooting, trapping, fishing and foraging are literally life-saving skills since without them we die when the current system of on-demand food and easy shopping goes away.....and it will go away at some point - do you want to be the guy fighting a hungry 300lb man-monster or a bloated blue-haired screamer for the last packet of Super Noodles in a ransacked supermarket or do you want to be prepared? Do you want your pronouns to be Was / Were? ........ nope. It's a simple choice. Knowledge is power but we're 'educated' to exist in the system without being taught what the system is and how to navigate the (obvious) pitfalls. Knowledge costs nothing and can be carried in the mind, given away for free and used to combat ignorance - it's a great deal but takes time and effort to learn useful skills. Foraging is most definitely one of those useful skills.

They are great for cooking and will dry for storage very well. There's not much similar to this fungus so it is a good one for a foraging beginner like myself to identify safely and stock up on for the 'Dark Winter' ahead. Adding these to the Ceps / Penny Buns I found a few weeks ago will make for a highly nutritious and healthy base for any meal. There were also a few Amethyst Deceivers found to sprinkle some color into any cooking so it was a good hunt for edibles. On the non-edible side of things I found some Cramp Ball Fungus / Alfred's Cakes and so demonstrated how good they are as a natural tinder to take a spark.......then I have a bit of a ramble which was edited down from something 3x as long.

Vertplanter Pot on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BC1134NZ Vertplanter Website: https://vertplanter.com/ Use coupon code PONDGURU for 12% off (cheapest on the VERTPLANTER website) This is a really interesting idea for a planter and although I've used mosses and ferns to plant it up the planter would surely be great for orchids since the water bleeds through the pot very evenly and creates a moist environment for roots. It is now a couple of weeks after making the video and everything I planted is doing very well. Maybe a mixture of moss and orchids would be the way to go for a truly beautiful display? Mine is very 'rustic' but would look great in a bathroom or bedroom. I will be giving one of the planters away (UK only) soon so watch out for that - it will be on my THOUSAND YARD STARE channel (not on the PONDGURU channel) so subscribe there and hit the bell to keep notified of new uploads. There are loads more give-aways coming before Christmas...... Thanks to VERTPLANTER for sending me the planters to review and show viewers of my channels.

Water filters: https://filterpro.co.uk/water-filters-12-c.asp Video on Family Water Filter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqeLpVSpoHI&t=21s These are proper water filters for ensuring a clean, healthy supply of drinking water for / if (when) the grid goes down and the water supply stops or for anyone who enjoys self reliance or owns a campervan. The community water filter will provide clean water for a whole community and is normally installed inside a school, clinic or hospital in disaster zones. We take clean water for granted in the 'developed' world but our infrastructure can be fragile or messed with as we've seen in the last few years as we move into an age of manufactured crisis, stumbling towards Agenda 2030. What does having a water filter on stand-by mean? Well, the worst case scenario is that you have a water filter on stand-by in case anything happens to the water supply infrastructure, nothing happens and you still have a filter on stand-by for the future. The best case scenario you've got clean drinking water when others are drinking contaminated water and dying from cholera or other dirty water conditions ....... It's a win/win when you're prepared but it's a lose/lose if you're not prepared and there is a huge difference between both scenarios - literally life and death as people all round the world who currently use these filters every day are well aware of.

My dehydrator has been one of the best purchases I have made in recent years as I use it for drying mushrooms, tomatoes, chillis, strawberries and any other seasonal produce which is handy to have around in the Winter. Up in North East England the 'Winter' months sometimes drag on for half a year....so it's been great to preserve food simply and cheaply (it costs me nothing to run the dehydrator as I use it during the day when the solar system is providing the electricity). Finding all the free food by foraging and preserving it for free is a great opportunity to stock up when times are good. It's been an incredible year for fungi so far and over the last few days 3 short hunts have yielded well over 20kg of this valuable fungus and I've now got all of them dried and stored in mason jars......ready for the 'Dark Winter'.

Having knowledge of natural environments, shooting, trapping, fishing and foraging are literally life-saving skills since without them we die when the current system of on-demand food and easy shopping goes away.....and it will go away at some point - do you want to be the guy fighting a hungry 300lb man-monster or a bloated blue-haired screamer for the last packet of Super Noodles in a ransacked supermarket or do you want to be prepared? Do you want your pronouns to be Was / Were? ........ nope. It's a simple choice. Knowledge is power but we're 'educated' to exist in the system without being taught what the system is and how to navigate the (obvious) pitfalls. Knowledge costs nothing and can be carried in the mind, given away for free and used to combat ignorance - it's a great deal but takes time and effort to learn useful skills. Foraging is most definitely one of those useful skills.

After going back to the deciduous woodland and harvesting some nice Porcini I crossed over to the other side of the wood into some mixed softwoods. Initially there wasn't many fungi evident but I stumbled across an area which had hundreds in......and I filled the basket again. The hunt after this was shared with a good friend who also filled his basket with top quality Boletus - 3 short hunts have yielded well over 20kg of this valuable fungus and I've now got all of them dried and stored in mason jars......ready for the 'Dark Winter'.

This was a hunt which started well and got much better as I stumbled upon a few new places which were laden with Boletus Edulis. The hunt after this is even better and the one after that was shared with a good friend who also filled his basket with top quality Boletus - 3 short hunts have yielded well over 20kg of this valuable fungus and I've now got all of them dried and stored in mason jars......ready for the 'Dark Winter'. The over-ripe Ceps were taken back to the woods a day later and scattered around in likely looking places in the hope of spreading these awesome fungi further around my local area.

https://www.indiegogo.com/project/preview/a592adf7 https://letpot.com/ The seeds seem to have germinated really well and are developing into strong looking plants in all but one of the pots. I will thin out the plants in the next week or so as they are growing very well now. Some of the plants will go into my vertical tower from Vertical Horizon - check that out in a previous video: https://youtu.be/1o26iem5xGU (updates to come.....) The projected selling price of the Letpot Desktop Hydroponic Planter is $329 with an 'early bird' price on Indiegogo of $229 and a 'super early bird' price on Indiegogo of $199.

Filmed a day after the first September hunt and a better result as far as the Boletus Edulis were concerned. The area which was too dark to hunt in last time gave up some nice Boletus and a Beef Steak fungus so I'm very pleased with this hunt. Everything from the last 2 hunts has been dried in the air drier and is stored in a mason jar for future use. Wicker foraging basket: https://geni.us/0g6dRi It's still relatively early for the main harvest but with some more rain it could cause a major crop to erupt in the woods. The two edible species found today were Beef Steak Fungus and Cep / Penny Bun / Porcini with nothing else showing yet. I'm sure this area will produce other edibles in the near future as we get more rain.....Only God knows where the golf balls came from....

Eel traps on Ebay: https://ebay.us/xL6cm7 I ordered mine from China as there were no UK based sellers at the time. Delivery took ages so the link above is to a new UK seller - delivery should be quick and prices are better than ordering from China....not sure how that works.... These eel traps are compact and are a decent option to have on stand-by in case they are ever needed. Everyone should have some knowledge of trapping and some gear to make that process easier and more productive. Standard UK legal crayfish traps like this https://geni.us/F6ZohaX are good and will catch plenty of crayfish and fish but neither the zipper and food bag last very long. I prefer a more robust version of a trap for long term use and storage and the one in this video fits the bill so I'd recommend it.

A recent walk through my local fields and woods hunting for edible fungi. Wicker foraging basket: https://geni.us/0g6dRi It's still relatively early for the main harvest but it was great to find a respectable amount of edibles. We have had a really dry Summer and the first rains of any consequence fell a week or so ago. Since then I've noticed a few fungi popping up on my lawn and on roadsides so a trip out looking for edible fungi was a fairly safe bet. The two edible species found today were Field Mushroom and Cep / Penny Bun / Porcini. The rod and reel I was using to catch the Lord Trout is an awesome combo and the review video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TqramHPKrs&t=44s Links to all the gear is in the video description of that video.

This may sound harsh but there is no excuse for not growing our food and the time to do so has never been more critical than now. Basically we have 2 choices: 1- We do nothing, continue fannying about on social media, watch the fake news on TV, ignore the intentional destruction of global food production and continue to support the people behind the demolition of our civilization by eating whatever the WEF / Bayer / Gates corporations produce for us in the way of estrogen laced GMO fake 'meat', lab grown nutrient deficient Frankenstein 'food'....... and 'ze bugs'.....and we wait for the next plandemic to make us heroes again for sitting on our rapidly expanding backsides. *OR* 2 - We turn off the TV programming, create a garden, set up simple hydroponics systems to grow vegetables and source locally produced meat from independent farms to provide us with a supplemented diet of organic, healthy food for ourselves and our family. Maybe we learn about hunting, fishing, foraging and get some chickens? Maybe we could install some solar panels too? As we all have free will those 2 choices are ours to make but one will lead to a short life of ruin and the other will be a revolutionary act since it will create a level of independence from controlling systems. This really is a massive opportunity to 'Dig For Victory' and it is great to see so many people waking up and taking action by simply doing what we should all be doing.....and there is no digging necessary with a vertical hydroponic tower..... The best time to make a start was a few years ago but the second best time to start is NOW. My excitement at finding these vertical hydroponics systems for sale at a sensible price cannot be underestimated as this is a huge piece of the self-reliance jigsaw, even for people living in properties with limited or no external space for a traditional garden. In summary, we can continue to support fake 'Green' policies where the same corporations and individuals always seem to hugely benefit at our expense OR we can create our own *true* Green policy which benefits *US* and puts an end to the nonsense.
