So sweet how you keep the bees in mind with the plant choices for the bog filter
I was watching the previous video and you are a bricklayer, a carpenter, an architect, an aquarist, and I'm sure I need more jobs, brother. You have a paradise at home, it's the good thing about having space. My English is very basic but the steps are understood, thanks for the inspiration. 🙌🏼🔥🌱
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words..😊👊🌱
@@GingerFishyOfficial 🙌🏼🙏🌱
What a gorgeous pond. Well done.
Thank you!
fantastic..well done
Very nice, looks very relaxing
Thank you!
This is absolutely amazing!
Thank you! 😊
Very nicely done. Love the fact that you turned it into a lovely sitting area. Bravo! Congratulations from America.
Thank you! Appreciate it!! 👊😊
I like your pond build. I have a similar setup that is about 500 gallons. I’ll be interested in seeing an update on this pond in a year or so.
Thanks Zenzo! Yeah, I’ve seen your pond videos, you’ve got a great setup! I’ll for sure be doing update videos of the pond as it matures and starts to properly grow in. 😊👊
well done!!
Wow. Your videos are fantastic. I appreciate the time and effort it must have taken to produce this content. So easy to follow and full of information. I absolutely love the finished look. I can’t wait to build mine. 😁
Thank you! Good luck with your build!!! 😁
Fantastic! Great to see it all done and with the fish in. You've done a massive service to the community by posting your vids. If I hadn't seen your above ground pond vids I'd never have thought about using a bog filter - wouldn't be without one now!
Thank you very much!! I do love a good bog filter!!! 😊
Great set up I would love you to come create one for me. x
This is easily the best, most informative video on the subject that I've seen. I inherited an in ground pond full of sludge and rocks that I've rehabbed, but have been lacking a video with easy filtration directions that will work for my situation. I was gifted 4 koi and had one goldfish. The koi have propagated to include 20 new fish over 2 years, so I need to make sure my filtration is up to the task. Thanks greatly! 😁👍
Amazing and much higher quality than I expected from DIY. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you! 😊
nice job the only thing i would do diff is build the front with glass so u can see the fish from your deck area
Yeah, that would be cool, hopefully build one with a window in the side at some point in the future. 👍
very nicely done my friend cudos from the U.S.
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant that mate from start to finish
Thank you, mate!! I appreciate your kind words! 👊
LED strip lighting under the pond overhang would light the pond up and hide the lighting as well. Just a thought
Lovely
Thank you! 😊
Amazing video and the speed is well paced ! instructive ! insightful and motivation to get of the sofa .
Thank you! 👊
I so want to build my own now 😩 I would most definitely add in some rocks and submersible lights, but either way, it's still an awesome, beautiful project ❤️
And I must say I wasn't going for the rug idea till I saw the couch the thought I need to trade in the projector screen for a pond now 😀 gotta share this with the hubby 😊
Fabulous! How much did the whole project cost you? Can I ask for the items and project please. I'd like to build one myself. I never really have any experience on building these ponds, so it might be a great help if you could.
we had a heron try to get our fish once so we stretched netting over pond it is a pain to stretch tight. i like the cover you built, we have koi that have grown so huge i doubt any bird could eat them but don't really want them trying so i have a mesh tent that just sits over pond in fall after plants are cut down.
Hello Ginger , what a fantastic pond you have. I love the lights and I think that I shall put some on to my pond. All of your hard work has paid off . What you have achieved here is amazing. You are seriously talented. You now have a haven in your own back garden. Very well done indeed. 😊🐠🐟🐡🦋🌻🐓
Thank you, Suzanne! Yeah, pond lights make such a difference!!! 😊
Oh my goodness, that explosion 💥😂😂😂😂😂
😂 I couldn’t resist.. i’ve been waiting for the opportunity to put that explosion into one of my videos for too long.. 💥😂
I solved my Heron problem with M8 steel uprights and thin trailing garden wire forming a wire fence. Then I added a few horizontal pieces of wire to stop the bird landing directly on the shallow area and job done. Its a lot less obtrusive. If the Heron has no way to wade into the pond, cannot land on a shallow area and cannot walk up to the sides of a pond, they can't fish.
Incredible job...came out gorgeous and it's crystal clear. God bless and enjoy!
Thank you! 😊
Hey i love this pond. To help with the green build up in the pond get urself a pleco and it will eat that stuff and keep u from having to drain and clean
Pleco’s can’t survive (in general) colder water. Green build-up, as you mention it, is algae -> the pond is getting too much light (sun or artificial). If you want to get rid of it, don’t put a fish in an environment it is not meant to be (pleco’s also need a real big piece of wood to munch on). Take away the root cause instead of battling the consequences.
In my opinion leave it as it is, algae mean your pond is healthy and a far more better environment for your goldfish that a clean tub. More natural, than artificial.
Also algae provide a food source for your fish.
P.S.Pleco’s produce far more waist than help your system. It is misinformation spread by the internet, like yours.
Great job 👍
Only one thing I would do is put some gravel on the bottom.
I'd try to match the gravel with the one filter on the right with the gravel.
Great job 👍
Do you do this as a job?
I'm wondering because you do it very well.
Have a wonderful day/evening.
The only issue I have with this is there is no overflow I can see, other than the holes in the wood at the back, if that is the overflow, surely it will get between the wood and the insulation, rotting the wood.
Just like to add that other than that I think it's a cracking job 😊
Looking absolutely amazing mate, fair play to you 👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Should be proud of yourself. Inspirational
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely!
Thank you! 😁
Hi Paul the clowns are hosting at the back, my clowns did it in a spot where I couldn’t even see them for 2 months 😕 but after that they eventually started swimming around, just need to give them some time 👍🏻 tank is unreal 🎉🎉🎉
Love it ,,,
Thank you! 😊
Lovely ☺️
Thank you!!! 👊
Loved the process !!!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful and creative! Love it!
Thank you so much! 😊
Verry cool Pool!
But pleas add some small stones on the ground. Your Goldfischs need it! In german it is called "gründeln".
Absolutely amazing
Thank you! 👊
Well done, looks fantastic

Great video 👍
Thank you! 😊
Quality job that, well done!
Thank you!
i like it!
Your pond is lovely, but I have an idea to make it even better - atop the mechanical filter is an excellent spot for a large maple bonsai tree!
Looks brilliant. 😃
Thank you, mate! 😁
Very nice indeed. 🙂
Thank you! 😊
Hi from South Australia This is my Favorite pond ever, Love everything about it.
Thank you, Sarah! 😁

Lovely looking pond and seating area finishes it off a treat 👍🏻
Thank you, Paul 😊
Cool couple of videos.
Thank you!
Looks really good mate job well done
Thank you! 👊
Amazing!!!!!! 💗
Thank you! 😊
This looks really great! What a lovely place to sit and relax! My only suggestion, which is a tiny detail, I wonder if you could get two pieces of bamboo big enough to cover the black pipes returning the water.
Thank you! Good idea on the bamboo!! I’ll see what I can find!! 😊
well Pal that looks fantastic great job enjoy your good work
Thank you!
Bro I truly enjoyed your build and narration. And beautiful work nice job.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words, and I’m glad you enjoyed it!! 😊
It looks incredible. I need something like in my garden 😊😊
Thank you! 😊
I’d be worried about the size of them holes heron may get it’s beak though them .
You pond is lovely ❤. And garden very nice set up .
Brilliant videos and very inspiring. It's amazing what you have done with a little thought and some DIY skills. Looks great 👍
Thank you very much! 😊
You should be very proud of what you’ve achieved there, looks absolutely brilliant.
Thank you very much!!! I’m really pleased with how it’s come out!! 😊
That was an amazing inspiring pond build sir. I really love the both the video.
Thanks you! 😊
You're welcome sir.
I remember in your build video you were questioning whether to leave to bottom clear or add gravel. I initially thought sand/gravel/plants would be better but seeing it with the fish, I absolutely love the contrast of the fish against the black background
Yeah, I agree, I think it really does allow the fish to stand out.. I was initially a little worried it might look a bit plain, but now the fish are in and the plants have started to grow, i don’t think i need any substrate 😊
@@GingerFishyOfficial: if you want to see natural behaviour of your goldfish put in gravel. Goldfish love to forage in the gravel.
Just use small (BLACK) gravel (1-2 mm) and you won’t even see it at the bottom, but get happier fish and see their natural behaviour.
Brilliant work, congratulations and well done. Inspirational.
Thank you, Gary! 👊😊
@@GingerFishyOfficialquestion is…what’s next???
@@garyc1790 I’ve got some bits planned… 😁
@@GingerFishyOfficial Great! Looking forward to them...😀
Proper job 👍 for a hobbyist this is class..
Like it a lot lad 👏
Thank you! 😊
@@GingerFishyOfficial Loooking forward to spring son 👍 🇬🇧
Maybe put the lights from the back but I love it you did an amazing job I love ur patio furniture ❤
Thank you! 😊
Yeah that's the only thing I would change. Have the lights on the back edge.
Love it, man. I was absolutely floored when I saw your build video. It really did turn out quite elegant. I'm still dreaming on this but also still living in an apartment so it's a ways off. I feel like some additional plant growth behind the pond will elevate it even further.
Thank you so much, bro! Just gives you time to plan the perfect pond!!! Yeah, I hope to add more plants etc as time goes on 👍😊
This is amazing, and a truly inspiring project.. could you do a video breakdown of the costs of materials and where we might get them please. You have definitely inspired me with my own garden.. fantastic workmanship here.
Thank you, thats very nice of you to say! I’m hoping to do a full cost breakdown video at some point, not too sure when, but when I find some spare time I’ll defo get one done!
Cracking job and looking great. Well done!! ... I'm putting in an additional pond next year, and will pinch a few ideas 👍
Thank you! Good luck with your build next year!!! 😊
Looks fantastic! But i think you talked me out of it.. thats alot to keep track of
Looks fantastic and those surely are some beauties you have in there. We’re glad you got the netting figured out certainly can be frustrating dude hopefully you can enjoy the pond for a couple more months before it starts to snow.
Thanks bro! The weather is still pretty decent here at the mo, which is nice.. not too sure how much longer it will last though.. I need an indoor pond like you!!! 😊👍🌱
Class act!
Thanks you!
Top job. Very inspirational. Might just get off my arse and try and recreate something similar.
Thank you! Good luck with your build!! 👊
I have one of these tubs but going to set mine up over the winter ready fir spring as its getting late in the season now. Then I will move my fish across.
Looks amazing good job. Going to steal your hereon protection idea 😂
Yeah, that’s a good idea, getting things sorted over the winter, ready for Spring next year.. ideally I was hoping to get mine done earlier in the season but it was so wet this summer I kept getting rained off.. 😊
Hi there. Been looking at your pond build videos and you have given me some great ideas. Couple of questions. Where did you get all the PVC pipe work from? Also how did you size would pump to use as i have been watching Ozponds and think he said the pump should be 6 x the size of your bog filter. I think :)
Love it. Can you come and do mine now 😅
Looks good buddy!
You will enjoy the lounge set, my neighbour has the same and he is happy with it.
You made a cosy outdoor space there. Job well done. Fish look happy to
Thank you buddy! How are you bro? Have you had a good summer with your pond? 👊😊
@@GingerFishyOfficial all good here. Had some trouble getting it clear in the beginning of the season but got everything going good around the beginning of the summer.
Although I lost my big white butterfly koi to the cat next door. They are lucky I'm not armed with a gun or it would not be alive anymore.
But other than that all good.
Made a new thingamabob to keep them out. I should do an update on my pond but the weather isn't always good or I get so busy that I forget.
Hope for an update on your fish room one of these. Or will you keep that for winter?
@@vertigoone-one-722 glad you had a good season, we had a lot of rain this summer, but it’s currently really quite nice.. been outside pretty much all day today! I can’t believe a cat got one of your koi… I’ve seen a couple of cats in my garden.. hopefully the net will keep the fish safe. Will defo do a fish room update, but yeah will probably be in the winter once it’s too cold to do any pond stuff.. 😊👊
@@GingerFishyOfficial might be because my fish are tamed to swim up to us at feeding time. Even when the dog goes drinking they come up and swim near his mouth
amazing work! though I would cover up those inlet water pipes with that nice bamboo
Thank you! Yeah, would be good to cover up the pipe work
❤❤❤❤❤
Fabulous. Will be looking for something to put on my 30ft x 6ft first floor balcony. Will be shop bought tho. 👌👏🤔🏴☺️
Thank you! You can get some good shop bought ones, the pond that this new pond replaced was a ‘Blagdon Affinity’ shop bought pond.. they come in lots of different sizes and are pretty cool! Thanks for watching!! 😊
@@GingerFishyOfficial will keep you up to date if I get one in the summer 👌🏴
Love it! PVC will become brittle in direct sunlight though so be cautious of that. Otherwise love the build.
Thank you! I’ll keep an eye on the PVC
just a quick tip, I noticed your lights flickering on camera. if you adjust your shutter settings on camera you can eliminate that effect on camera. good work.
Hey I love your work just wondering can I get the same design layout like the pond ?
