This dude is out for catfish. Seriously though you gotta be insane to put a channel cat in you’re pond

Thank you. Super accessible teaching.

Makes sense.

Dam u talkn to much

Hi Chris. My family and I (wife and 6 year old daughter) absolutely love your videos. I really appreciate you taking the time to make them. I know that you make your own gravity fed filter systems out of Rubbermaid stock tanks and they are typically layered with matala filter pads in them. How many GPH can you push through one of your filter tanks? How much flow for the 70 gallon stock tank filter? The 100 gallon? The 150 gallon?

Interesting informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make it

Very informative video for someone like me who wanted to know some basics on how the bead filter works and cleanings, ect. Thank you! 🙌🙏💖

Wow... Talking for 3 minutes and saying nothing.

Most swimming pools are made of cement, so not sure what the issue is, as long as you seal or water proof it some way.

What if it's raining or snowing. Does this have to be under cover?

How can I germinate my arrow arum seeds

Thank you. I'm doing a dry creek bed.

wanted to know what a spatterdock was, clicked this video, was not disappointed. thank you for the explanation!!

Never heard such rubbish in such short time. This video spits some facts and connetcts then to total false conclusions. Dont know where to start. But like I bought nike shoes so I run marathon.... like ... what is is the connection between those ? Heating ponds is full non sense. FULL non sense. Cold water contains more oxygen than warm water. Fish go into hyberbation, cold water provides more than enough O2 for this. Ponds NEVER go below 4"C on the bottom (Basic phisics - Density - water). So leaving water at rest at frozen temnperatures is soooo much better for fish. how did evolution do this last few milion years.... true HOAX this video.

Great video. Thank you. Thiinking about planting this in my self contained bog metal container bog filter (4x2x2 steel trough). It is constantly fed water from the pond. Would this work on texas?

I wasn’t even thinking about the cement until a local said his pond liner was punctured by a deer so I’m leaning toward a cement lined stream now. I think I’ll use a dye to make it look more like sand between the rocks. The dye won’t hurt the wildlife will it?

Thank you for an informative video. I love these plants and find they add much to the landscape whether in a water-filled container or a water feature.🪴

What about 79 degrees in morning but 59 at night and power is out for last 3 hours

Will double sided pond liner tape stick to it for an underwater joint?

Great video, but I believe there’s a few incidents where you meant to say to use, “single-sided adhesive patch.” All your videos have been so educational. Thank you.

Thanks for all the information

Thanks, informative

I'm OK with visible spots where the pond lining is leaking, however who is the manufacturer/what is the name of the 6" strip with the pre-applied adhesive? I've used the two-sided splice tape/seam tape and it's sticky!! What about the 3M instructions to use the lap sealant/seam caulk over the top of the edges of the seam tape? It's probably overkill but they also have the instruction to "prime" (rough up/take off the shine of the smooth surface of the liner) before applying anything, including the glue. I have found using lacquer thinner does a good job of doing that. Where is the information for the liquid membrane repairs? I don't find the products on your website. And yes!! The EPDM liners are HEAVY!!

You confirmed some of the ideas I had but want sure if it was best practice.

Am I the only one who thought that grilled spadderdock was beaver food?

Thank you 🙂. Interesting about the chameleon plant. I only bought a couple of those which I divided and dotted in around the pond this mid- summer. They seem to have struggled big time perhaps because of being planted too deep (15-20 cm below water surface). I was saddened by this but i now think it might have been a blessing in disguise.

I have a large pond (14K gal) … I’d love to have 2 of those Victoria Lilies … is there a way to have them in a concrete pond … it’s 5ft deep on one end and 3ft on the shallow end (CA) Thanks.

Thanks for this video. I have a 5000 gallon pond and the Blue Heron cleaned out most of my goldfish. I'm going to try the fishing line around the edges. I'm also going to try running some white string between the trees to make the flight path more difficult.

I can it’s true I have canna lily’s in my front yard and there alright not perfect but good and I also planted them near my turtle ponds and look so much better

Very helpful video, thank you! We ripped out the 4-year old pond foam that was crumbling and absorbing water and replaced it all with the concrete mixture you recommended. It worked fantastic and looks so much more professional and we have less water use and evaporation on our pond-less waterfall. Want to know if you recommend sealing the concrete at any point?

Thanks for that presentation.Do I need to be concerned about nutrients and chemicals leaching from mulch into the pond?

I believe much of the confusion regarding channel catfish, bullhead catfish, etc. is a lot of people attribute the algae reducing benefits of Plecostomus, that they have heard about in pet stores, to other types of catfish, and for the most part they do not apply. Plecostomus, btw do not do well when water temperatures get below 50 degrees. Some people do appreciate channel catfish for aquaponics systems however.

It’s the smile and giggles for me every time he giggles in a video I like it idk why but it just brings me joy and pleasure

What do you plant in? Gravel or soil???

5:20 What about in nature, no pumps in ponds and lots of plants in nature’s ponds and lakes?

Thanks

Can you winterize them to cime bsck next year?

I have a small wetland area in my yard that is overcome with grasses. I’d rather have cattails. You are saying I can get the seed pods (like now in September) and spread them? I'm also willing to do some pots, but I was wondering if they need to be cold sown. Any special seed germination tips?

Please. Make sure pond is level and make sure you have room on all 4 corners, sadly I custom built my pond too close to neighbors fence and regret it, it’s too too close. Also heavy rains this winter is so bad, when it rains I have to drain my pond 2 times a night by hand release pump. I’m so tired on rainy nights lots of work because lower level grass and concrete pushes backyard water to pond, ughhh so much work on rainy days! Think smart watch plenty of builds to build right. I wish I did more homework!

Excellent video! I did not know of water hawthorne before now. Your description & behavior of it is quite thorough. Thank you.

Excellent video ! Love this guy!

Thank you!!!! I have been petrified of my city water that smells like a swimming pool and have been paying a fortune for Amquel. I always put 1 1/2 to 2 times the dose as the water is going in to be sure because I know it’s pretty safe. Hopefully I can make this change without having a panic attack (I will keep my Amquel nearby just in case)😂. I really appreciate the time and experience you put into these videos!😊

They kill parasites.. ?... which ones...?

Can you please recommend some good landscape (like yourself ) in Minneapolis Area ? Thanks !!

Thank u so much for this information

May I ask why are you huffing and puffing as you talk …. like you have COPD?? You look like a young fit guy who should not be struggling to breath?? And my concern for your health aside ~ I have had koi since 1996 and I’m totally enjoying your videos!! Im from NY and living in Sunny California 🌴for 30+ years where the winters are mild thus koi are easier to keep here during the winters!! I keep a net over my koi pond all year round mainly to keep my koi from jumping out‼️ Thanks, Maria Theresa🐠🐟🎏🌞☀️

I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

What do you use for glue?

Hi Chris, wish I had found this video before I rebuilt my pond as I went from a bottom drain into a bead filter which is not bad but could have been better. Do you do consulting work?
