  • Today we move the fish from the outdoor DIY mini pond to an inside tank! Luckily, there aren't a ton of fish to move from this pond, but still it was an all day mission. Hopefully they appreciate not freezing this winter!!! MORE INFO ▼

    Not trying to be a negative nancy, but as a subscriber it would be nice if you made updates on continuous older set up aquariums/ponds instead of making a new scape each video and changing everything around. At this point I’ve kinda lost interest in any of your scapes because I feel like you are just going to change everything and redo it in a week/few weeks. I know you just moved, but even before that it was like you make a new awesome scape only to redo it COMPLETELY a couple videos later because it seems you got bored with it instead of allowing it to mature and allow us to see what that looks like. Again, not trying to be negative or overly critical, I just wanted to offer some kind of viewer input.

    An AirPump will prevent a frozen pond. I would do that for my 26X McGregor 2001 Sailboat while The Southern Part of the San Diego Bay in the Winter. The Chula Vista Marina does rarely freeze, but it does happen. Now that I see your Pond, that is more of a mud than a pond.

    Maybe try and keep most of your scapes the way they are after you set them up and then have maybe 2 “chameleon” tanks that you use to continually change and make new scapes every so often? That way you scratch that itch of making new designs and scapes but people like me get to still enjoy some of the older scapes you have made and enjoy them developing over time. Just a thought!

    I don't know if you can say that you "saved" the fish if you put them in harms way to begin with? That's just taking care of the animals you claimed responsibility for when you purchased. You upgraded to a warmer tank for winter. Totally click bait. But I like your aquariums and aquascaping skills, don't get me wrong. Just saying
