Nice set up 👍

Now this really makes me think of building a small version of it.. Great video.. If I may ask where to get these filter sponges?

This is beautiful! I'm confused what the trash can is for. I want to build a natural swimming pool with a stock tank and trash can filter with layers of rock, sand and charcoal. Would that media work?

Is there ever an issue with mosquitoes or do the fish eat them?

Does it freeze where you are, I’ve heard those tubs you used have a tendency to crack and split in freezing temperatures

Where can I buy the P2 superseal?

It’s that time of year to open up the pond if you have an outdoor one that is lol….. those goldies are looking magnificent, sir. Happy happy kids in there!!

Should’ve wrapped bamboo around the pvc

this build was absolutely top notch man well done

All total rubbish none will work have tried them al el

Al total rubbish

this is by far the best above ground diy pond ive seen i watched your video when you built it last year and thought im doing this. well a year later and im still thinking it haha its deffo getting done this summer i just hope it turns out even half as good as your.. would be better if you could come to newcastle and build it for me tho 😂😂 youve done an amazing job cant wait to see what youve got in store for this summer

Quality, great work

Such a good idea for folks who cant dig for whatever reason. You can sit beside your pond and see the fish easily, and if you have a big dumb dog, like i do, it is more likely i can train him to stay out of the pond! ❤❤❤love everything about this!

Love it. You had me watching from start to finish .i would like to know the name of the bamboo and where you got it from. Thanks

Just wondering as wanting to do something similar where did you get the tub from

Could you have used the old decking boards for the cladding? Would have blended nicely.

I have used amazonia substrate as only substrate in my nano tank with dragon stones and anubias pintos, the anubias does great, no fish no shrimps and a hang on filter and I change 1g water every two days, is that ok?! Or should I reduce the substrate by half, cover it with ada sand and this to reduce amonia?

that's gorgeous

I would suggest a small overflow hole with a small piece of screen glued on for when it rains.The screen so you won't lose your fish.

Nice job 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Thats a fantastic self build my friend, beltin job

Hi. Where do you get the tank connectors from? Cheers

You FOOL, HERON eat fish. If you put a HERON next to your pond, it will scare the shit out of your fish and it will invite others friends to come and share in the fish feast. Very bad idea.

I had 7 goldfish in a 55-gallon and am slowly moving them to a 75 with my cycling. I have two fantails in now with 7 amazon swords across the back (volcanic rock, gravel and sand substrate), but when I moved the first of 5 shubunkin in he pulled up the swords despite having swords in the original tank. I'm wondering if he is bored with the larger, emptier tank and if he'll get back to normal once the rest are in. I moved him back to give the roots time to grow. Also contemplating ways to protect the base of the plants.

I really enjoyed your two videos, very informative and super helpful. I think its time I did another pond! Thank you for sharing and great video!

I dont understand ur filteration why it doesnt flow from the top to pouring down. I dont understand how its filtering when tube is going all the way and not touching filter??

This this is perfect. But you need substrate and plants in that pond lol. I know its extra work but it just doesn't look right without it. Too much time invested making this to not have substrate and plants in with the fish.

Loving the content been looking in to creating my own pond in the middle of researching filters etc but this 410l tub looks about right for me. Is there anything you would change looking back at this build?

Nice setup. I've had my pond for over 30 years I never had a problem with cleaning out my filters with tap water or even filling up / toping the pond up. The one constant pain I had was winterizing the pond and getting it ready for spring just cause something would go wrong like a pump would stop working or a random leak or it would look like pea soup after fixing every little thing it's only the past 2 years that things have just worked with zero problems but sadly this will be last season with the pond due situations beyond my control. I've always been tempted to do a bog filter setup but never the time to do it. The constant question I get asked is "what do you do with the fish when it gets cold out.?" I tell them I take the UV pressure filter out clean it and store it for the winter and between the waterfall and aerator even if it does freeze it won't totally freeze due to the fact that most of the pond is below the frost line and won't freeze. (I'm on Long Island ,NY in the US)

Great video I've just subscribed to your channel

where did you get the parts for your pump table/slate rock holder? looking for a 3 way 90 degree connector is hard work!

Awesome work man

Does the watercress need much sunlight?

Thanks bro

is there aquatic soil in the water cress tubs or just gravel/pebbles? my ponds gone green after buying some pond plants in soil tubs from the garden centre. Not sure whether to wait it out to see if it settles or to get rid of the plants.

You remind me of my dad. Instead of fixing small mistakes so you can produce something that looks great, instead you patch work them making the whole look half-assed. You're also "upgrading" but instead of planning, you patch it together as you go. That is the method you use for your first attempt, not on the 2nd or in any upgrade. You couldn't be bothered to fix 3 boards, make the abutments look more finished, trim the bamboo backdrop, buy new elbows to fix the sag on the net, use the wire on the whole frame once you decided on it and left the grate, or make the spouts thay spilled back into the pool look nicer. Great for a 1st build, but a pretty shameful go of it for an "upgrade."

Can you put pond plants in there? And aquatic soil?

Браво прекрасна работа единствено обслужването на филтъра буди притеснение (дунапрена в кофата )

Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful ❤

Power tools 😅

this is NOT simple IN ANY WAY :O

Thanks for the video, very informative. It will be interesting to see how often the heaters are on in winter, and if it would be at all practical or cheap enough to have it even warmer. I dont have a pond yet, but I have wondered how much it would help if you had your air pump indoors, so warm air enters through your air stones via an insulated pipe. Perhaps insignificant, but given how well your pond is insulated, it might help a degree or three. Your lid might help to keep a head of warm air above the water.

Fishing line 2” apart in rows above your pond will keep any birds from hunting your fish. They won’t try and dive in afraid of clipping their wings and practically invisible to the human eye. Pond is fantastic. Not a fan of the above water lights and exposed intake n outtake pipes but plants can cover those. In the end a very economical solution without spending thousands on pumps and filters. Very ASMR feeling watching at night with a cocktail Im sure. Just overall lovely!

I know I’m late but I would say don’t put anything in the bottom because our pond which is 9000 gallons, has no gravel in the bottom and it stays a lot cleaner. Nothing gets all caught up in the substrates.

Last comment lol. Guppies don’t self regulate their breeding - trust me I seen it happens and they get really inbred. Get a sparkling gourami or a similar predator fish to pick off the guppy fry and keep the population down. Enjoy your content, thanks 👍

Argos have got these amazing black metal industrial shelving units. I’ve got all my nanos and tarantula collection on them.

I have this jungle theme in my fish room also ❤

You could give Tanner Seopa Design a run for his money brother 👍
