Yeah it feels too deep but the label on the pot said it should be fine up to 40cm deep, which is how deep it is now. Should I move it? Maybe to the big filter or intake bay?

PS your pond looks great

I will keep that product in mind in case I keep running into problems with the algae, however it now seems like I managed to get rid of it already. PS thank you! :)

I’m not sure what size I did use, I might have mentioned it in the original build video but I’m not sure. Anyway I definitely didn’t use the thinnest option. You can find save money in a lot of ways, but the liner is one of those things I would recommend you spend a bit more on.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean. Are you recommending I add a center piece fish?

No more like a large rock .

Ah I see, I'll keep that in mind, but I'm not sure they actually need that. The lily and other plants create a few different sections in the pond serving a similar function.

@@CrunchyFern right. Keep it going 🫡

Yes that’s how it’s set up now! Thanks for confirming that’s the right way :)

Thank you! :)

I really like them! But I can definitely see them being a challenge. Glad you like the video :)

They are one of my favorite plants! I love seeing them around the pond :)

Thank you so much!

Glad you like the video’s! Hope your pond turns out amazing! If you have any questions along the way you can send me a message on instagram! :)

Thank you so much! Happy you enjoy the video’s! :)

:)

Thank you!

That’s cool! Do you have a lot of fish in there?

Good question! You have special pond foam which is 100% safe. I didn’t use that tho, I used a cheap alternative. I’ve been using cheap sprayfoam in aquascapes for years now and haven’t noticed any negative side effects. I’ve compared the ingredients from special pond foam to cheap foam and couldn’t find any difference. From what I can tell the cheap ‘regular’ spray foam is also safe for fish. This might not be the case with every time of foam tho!

Thank you! I used a small fountain pump from superfish. Not sure which one, but it costs around €30 so nothing too crazy

I’m happy you like the video!

I don’t know. It’s not over there, but the building you see in the background also isn’t my house. It’s my work shed, it doesn’t have heating so I doubt there is a gas line going there.

Thank you! :)

Haha that sounds awesome!

I think they’re cool, but I prefer to see them outside. I don’t think I’ll keep them in the animal room.

Thanks! The fish are gonna love it!

Thanks Tommy! :)

And you can be proud of him!

Thanks bro! :)

Thank you! The varnish on the outside Will help protect the Wood. If you ventilate your house I don't think you should be worried about mold.

That is some great timing indeed! Let me know how your tank turns out!

Thank you! It's gonna be awesome! :)

Thank you!! That's so Sweet and I'm glad you like my video's! :) Is there something you would like to see me cover in a future video?

Thank you! :)

Thank you!! I really apriciate that. Getting another turtle might be a good Idea. Although they are not that easy to come by here in the Netherlands. I am looking online and at expos.

Thanks you very much!

That would be really cool! unfortunately they won't survive the winter over here

Thank you!

Just seen it’s a workhouse! You’ll still get rising damp eventually

Thank you for the comment! Someone else commented the same thing and I'm working in fixing this. I'll put a scraps piece of liner inbetween.

@@CrunchyFern yeah that should work! I made the same mistake with some raised flowerbeds and wooden sleepers up against the wall! The wall got damp. Great video 👍🏼

thanks you! :)

In my experience they become less shy the more hiding space they have. Adding coconut hides and leaves really made a difference. How many do you have? They are a social fish and are more out going if they are kept in groups.

@@CrunchyFern it’s a fully planted 75 gallon tank with Denison barbs, angels, and bosmani. I only have 1 rope fish in the tank

@@juanname5599 in that case I think he might just be lonely. I recommend you look into getting another one (or two). It will make them more confident and they love to curl up togheter! Mine often share a single coconut hide among the four of them haha.

@@CrunchyFern they aren’t territorial?

@@juanname5599quite the opposite! They are cuddle noodles haha

Thank you! :)

There is an (electric) pump in the trashcan!

Thank you for the nice comment! I hope your pond will turn out exactly as you hope. Let me know when it’s been build. I would love to see how it turns out.

They unfortunately won’t survive the winter here

Can’t see a human face, but I can kinda see a frog with his mouth wide open lol 😂

An alien face yeah lol

@@mountainviewvintage386 I’m glad I’m not the only one ha

Thank you! :)

Thank you very much! Glad you like it!
