- Today we show you how to build a wetland filter for an existing pond! It's the best way to beef up your biological filtration while adding a unique shape to your pond. This one takes up 6'x8' footprint.

very nice, One thing I have noticed regarding your wetland filters. There is never any discussion of how the water gets into the wetland filter and how it is distributed.
Great video, thank you! A same-level wetland does indeed make the pond look bigger and seems a perfect hang-out for smaller fish.
Definitely
Always enjoy these videos. Informative and beautifully done job.
So many people can benefit from this one. Great video!
Definitely
You guys did a great job working with what they already had. Thanks for the explanations of everything!
My next pond will for sure have one. After watching y'all for awhile now I realize it is the way to go for sure. God bless y'all and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
This is the video I've been waiting to see. I kind of understood the wetland filter concept, but this puts it all on display and explains it perfectly. THANKS!!!
Thank you for the follow up visit. Looks great!
Great video, I love the follow up!
That is just very nice and well done, thank you for your post sir
Great video.
I love watching videos that show enhancements/add on's.
Great job!!
We would love to add this to our pond!!
Need more of these detailed videos
I need to install one into my pond!
Great video!
Brians the man!
Great how to video especially the time lapse sequence. Loved the editing stopping at key points then fast forward to next how to section.
Thank You!
I've been watching all these videos for ages and I've only just realised that Aquascape do wetland/organic filters in the opposite direction to everyone else...
Aquascape - the water goes in at the bottom and filters as it rises up through the wetland;
Everyone else - water goes in at the top and filters as it goes down through the wetland.
My initial thoughts are that filtering upwards needs more water pressure, and results in having to clean out sediment, but you get a more even movement of water through the whole wetland, whereas filtering downward would lead to the water finding paths of least resistance.
You can run a whole downward system with a low power bubble pump, but that would rule out any sort of significant waterfall - the pool and filter would have to be pretty much at the same level.
Question about the plumbing on this... does the water flow to the bog come from the pump in the skimmer? If so did you split the line from the skimmer pump between the bog and the waterfall?
Love your content. Got a question regarding building a water feature from an existing man-made “natural” pond. I’ll be taking the family home in 2-years and I’m planning early. I want to pull water from the 1/2+ acre pond my dad built, and pump it about 120 ft away near the back of the home and build a long stream/creek running through the back yard that I’ll make a huge rock garden. Do you have any of your videos relating to such a task?
Would have been nice to see it in the day light and in full running condition 😉
Use 3m scrubbers the dark red ones. They are same as green but dark red those work way better and last longer more like a very fine sanding almost
Can you show me how you place filter pump and how pipeline did for the pump please?
Looks nice. I've heard that disguising the wetland filter by placing boulders on top of the gravel (filter media) reduces the effective area of filtration. Do you compensate for this by oversizing the wetland, or is this not a concern? Also, what size pumps are running this feature? Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Not really a concern we want to slow the flow down anyway so the solids settle. The boulders are on top of the gravel so it does really effect anything. I think this one had a 5 to 9 on it.
Hey Brian... can you guys mark the top and/or the liners.. it's hard to tell which side to face up
When Brian said the centipede should be slightly pitched to the snorkel, what would that look like on a level? The wetland looks good.
Quarter bubble. Just enough so the solids settle closer to the snorkel for cleanouts.
Where do you get the water from to go to the Wetland filter? Did it come from the skimmer or somewhere else in the pond? Then did it go into the snorkel?
Anyone else feels crazy when they were scrubbing the liner but only on the rim while the front end was all slimy and gross?
Looks nice, but didnt get it, where is the wetland filter sucking water from? The Skimmer box? That will make sense to me, and also if thats right, doesnt have the Skimmer box to be at the opposite side of the pond, or it doesnt actually matter?
Where can those collapsible tanks be purchased?
Do you guys ever have problems with leakage where the seam is? I want to add a second bog to my existing pond, but am worried about leakage.
I see in this scenario that the wetland is below water level meaning that there is no waterfall to add oxygen after nitrate cycle,. In what case are you going to choe to have a little water fall or not? so having the wetland above the water level to go back down toward the pond? Thank you
What would you estimate for for adding the wetland filter?
What are those foldable fishtanks called
Why is the skimmer not at the other end?
💯🔥💙👍

Chris if you're going to film at night you need some light video hard to see
Next time try to hold the camera still (this was hard to watch).
Hey. "Ding-Dong" where is the ROPS for your vehicle. Gosh your so smart to share unsafe acts with the public. Go ahead find an excuse which allows you to put the crew in harms way
