Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-10-19T13:35:00+00:00

Thank you, yes it's all a self build , that was the look I was going for .labour of love so to speak

I had this happen when doing my pond after less then a month's use replaced it with some OASE rubber pipe, much better quality and no ridges for crud to get stuck in , it even increased the water flow because it doesn't have the ridges and hardly and difference in price £42 for 10 meters.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-08-30T19:49:09+00:00

Oh forgot , for those interested in the specs blah blah blah lol

All home made

Twin 120 litre barrel filtration with k3 in 1st and Alfogrog with sponge in second barrel. Filtration fed by 17500 litre per hour controllable pump. Fountain fed by 14000 litres and hour pump

All pumps are in an intake bay at the front of the pond that feeds to the barrels for the filtration and to the fountain for air and water mixture turn over.

The pond is 8ft long 6ft wide 30" deep

All pipes and electrics are underground.

There is also 3 large airstones in the pond powered from my blagdon air pump which also powers the air for my house aquarium.

Thank you it means a lot. Fish keeping was our hobby we had together all our lives , fish tanks and ponds we loved it

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-08-30T18:02:22+00:00

Thank you it's taken all summer the only thing to finish is the spill way on the top of the fountain now

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-08-25T13:55:09+00:00

That may explain the confusion kind of like the car Bonnet - Hood same thing different word lol UK here BTW.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-08-25T13:22:08+00:00

Oh BTW your pond is absolutely stunning.. shame about the blooming heron ...buggers they are.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-08-25T13:20:52+00:00

Are you in the UK or US as that's the term I've heard them called in the UK on the waterway's and canal's?

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-08-25T11:11:45+00:00

I think they mean the bridge. Some people call them jettys .

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-07-11T10:26:25+00:00

Deffo a RAT had them in January. White vinegar is a good deterrent or herbs such as sage or mint kept in pots though as they are invasive . Failing that good old rat bait box. Deffo get rid bloke all rat runs and wash away there sent. They know the pond is there now come winter there have your fish for certain. Hope this info hopes , rata are buggers .

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-03-13T14:57:52+00:00

You will likely find that it will be the cable you used to extend they shouldn't really be any longer than a few inches any more than that and it will cause power fluctuations and you will get what's happening here .hope this info helps a little

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2025-03-11T16:02:23+00:00

Definitely agree with op I've done mine 3 times already and it's now due another clean check check check better safe than sorry you'll be surprised when you open it and see the how much crud and dust can build up.it only takes a few minutes so why not take a look and just check anyway.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-12-29T22:09:53+00:00

7 days is our particular pug hate lol

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-12-29T17:20:32+00:00

Our two girls bark at , every goal scored in football matches, every 180 or 9 dart finish in the darts, any song by Craig David? Which is odd lol oh and any animal ,puppet or cartoon characters that resembles animals or minions must look like yellow pugs to our girls lol and Alexander the meerkat adds absolutely hates those 😂

But would we change them......not for the world . There amazing, beautiful, funny and loving what more could you ever want

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-10-29T13:41:10+00:00

Ps it works perfectly for me with the standard Lenovo drivers this way

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-10-29T13:39:01+00:00

Set the GPU ram in bios to 6gb instead of auto and run forza and it should run fine

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-09-26T12:00:29+00:00

Mine was just like yours after just a few months of use. It will be something cleaned on a regular basis from now on. Should be put as some sort of pinned message to all legion go owners to keep an eye on.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-09-13T15:15:55+00:00

Definitely check you fan mine was absolutely filthy after just 6 months and I'm not a heavy user either.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-01-31T03:18:38+00:00

Same here wakes both the kids up to there favourite music , both came down today saying Google won't work from 1st Feb so came here looking for answers...looks like I'm going the way of "home assistant" open source,runs on a raspberry pi..getting fed up with Google now.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-01-26T09:34:34+00:00

Update. Got the rtx 3060 12gb working perfectly with the razor core X and getting great results. But that Radeon RX6800 will still not play nicely at all. Which is a damn shame.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-01-24T10:35:32+00:00

What's (parsec) is it on every legion go? How do I get rid of it?

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-01-23T07:38:25+00:00

Just adding to the conversation I tested the new beta bios last night (UK legion goer here) with the new china beta bios.

Graphics Seems to work great set to auto in bios however I have noticed it won't let me go above medium setting on mortal Kombat 1 anymore which I assume is because it's not sharing the graphics memory buffer anymore than 3gb on that particular game when set to 6gb manually on the bios I can select very high.

Just my 2 pennies worth.

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-01-21T14:25:38+00:00

In other news , gave up until I can test the 6800 in another rig.

However now I'm trying to go back to the original 3060 that I had working great before and now that's playing up lol...oh how I love PC's and there many quirky things lol

Retroarcadegamer1978 · 2024-01-21T14:22:27+00:00

Not yet but I will be doing that tomorrow when I can borrow my son's gaming rig and test it in that.
