When you said "raise your hand" bald guy with the blue shirt that just had heart attack. I laughed out loud. Pretty hard. You have a great sense of humor and I love watching your videos
Hey man I’m a fish keeper myself up in Washington and I am about to begin my own outdoor guppy ponds for profit. Your videos I would have to say have been the most helpful so keep up the great advice it is much needed 👍
Ok, I'm way late this time. Work emergencies...meh. But, Mr. Fish Room, I can tell you're either losing weight or you found some magical slimming video filter. Proud of you and your progress.
I have a 40 gallon and a 140 gallon as well as a 22 gallon. I am in Westeren Washington up to 74 today hottest so far 89 this year. I love them. I have a heavy mesh lid but birds dip my net this year will change next year. I also noticed you seem to have slimmed probably mostly water retention but over all your color has improved and you appear slimmer.
Great video Mike. Lots of very good step by step info. Well done. Can't wait to see some more underwater footage. By the way, you're looking great. Really can tell you have lost weight. Must be them healthy snacks and beverages. :) Stay safe.
Have u ever tried the ibc totes with the aluminum frame they come in 250 , 275 , & 300 gallons. I get them on marketplace here for around 50$ for a 275. I use those and the 110g stock tanks for 60$ @ tractor supply
Wow, that's a great deal. I would have thought they'd be much more expensive. I considered asking to take one home from one of my previous jobs to use for a water reservoir for water changes, but they were used for syrup at that food manufacturing plant and I had no idea if it would ever be 100% free of sugar/additives after cleaning.
@@MichaelsFishRoom the main reason I use them is the drain valve at the bottom for wkly water changes on my African growouts but in your case that's not much benefit
What netting is that? . Thinking of moving guppies into outdoor pond myself freeing up my 29g tank. Also how do you deal with winter temps just a simple Heater?
I’ve had my eye on a 300 g Rubbermaid for awhile, but I think I’ll finish my fish garage first... which is after I finish “management’s” projects... so once again... wait’ll next year. Do you sell duck weed by the pound? One lucky goldfish could have a huge lunch! Or maybe you could put some on your mulm burgers. High fiber-low fat.
Mike Homy D will cut 2x4's cut 2 for length 2 for width. go 12inch more then each tub measurement. put them down where you want the tub. fill inside the 2x4's with sand or gravel. run a 3rd 2x4 over the top of the 2x4's (level 2x4's prior.) the sand or gravel will be level! bingo! place tub and its perfect!
I watched video very informative.. question... when do you set it up and when you take it down out here in the midwest of Canada ... it's cold tell mid may and we have had frost med September ... your looking good you lost more weight ... take care and thanks
I told you you can't put vinyl pools on grass. When weeds grow they grow through the vinyl. Yet you still don't get it. The instructions say specifically not to do this. Also Rubbermaid containers kill fish. Greg Sage put out a great warning about this years ago.
I laughed so hard when you coughed and said fine. I do hope you're fine tho :P. By the way - Plants actually absorb ammonia (NH3) directly from the water column and prefer it over trites/trates. So if you have enough plant matter to offset that ammonia there won't be a need to cycle the pond in the first place.
Ponds are the reason why I got back into fish keeping. I was going to do shubunkin goldfish but gold guppies are more fun and easier to keep over winter.
Yay love these guppy videos!!! i can't unsee the older man sitting in that tub 😂😭
LOL, now I can't either!
Michael's Fish Room hahahaha 😩

Cool ponds! I have lost 30 lbs.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Great very good for you want to keep seeing you so keep that heart happy please.
I tried one of these tubs first time this year. Absolutely love it
Great to hear! It is my favorite part of the hobby!

@@MichaelsFishRoom If only this damn heat and humidity would go away. Lol
Lisa N.J. For sure!
Ah , what would we fishy people do without Michael’s fish 🐠 room .🇺🇸🇬🇧.
Good question! LOL
Spawning mops are awesome for guppies pond if you keep stuff on the porch and there’s no light and still need cover.
Thanks for the tip!
Michael's Fish Room Absolutely! I love your content and I know I’ve caused you some inconvenience! Please forgive me.
Nice! Stay healthy!
Thanks!
It works I use Clorox to clean mine.
Twins!

@@brittanyr689 yes the ones u want are the food grade they have chemical ones too but I only buy food grade so a syrup one would be perfect
Brittany R cheap enough not to risk it I think.
@@MichaelsFishRoom the main reason I use them is the drain valve at the bottom for wkly water changes on my African growouts but in your case that's not much benefit
Wow, new camera? Great video quality!
Hope you are feeling well,
Chris
Yes! Thank you! I feel great! Thanks for asking!
Look at getting a polarizing filter for your camera you can cut the glare right out
It's already been ordered!
What netting is that? . Thinking of moving guppies into outdoor pond myself freeing up my 29g tank. Also how do you deal with winter temps just a simple Heater?
Watch all my pond videos. I talk about what I do in winter. It is bird netting.amzn.to/3NzE0rH

I add it to my salads.

Great idea! But then I need sand too. Lol
Can I have a backyard pond like this if I live in the Northeast US where it’s cold 7-9 months out of the year?
I’m in the northeast.
Thanks for the videos, do you do water changes (even a little bit) on your ponds?
Never.
I watched video very informative..
question...
when do you set it up and when you take it down
out here in the midwest of Canada ...
it's cold tell mid may and we have had frost med September ...
your looking good you lost more weight ...
take care and thanks
Hiya. I start when the daytime highs are in the 70’s. I take them down when the daytime highs are under the 70’s.
I have lost about 30 lbs!
how many hours of direct sunlight do your tubs get with all the guppies in them ?
6-8
Hey
In the hole I have in my tubs I use leftover from HMF filter.
The water runs thru it as an overflow when it rains, no fish lost.
That’s perfect!
Hey Michael, love watching your videos.
Question. If it rains do you have to dechlorinate the water after the rain?
Let's think about that...does rain have chlorine in it?
No, but do keep in mind it is PH neutral and your guppies will do better in harder water.
I told you you can't put vinyl pools on grass. When weeds grow they grow through the vinyl. Yet you still don't get it. The instructions say specifically not to do this. Also Rubbermaid containers kill fish. Greg Sage put out a great warning about this years ago.
Ok
Just came from friend’s house he has a galvanized stock tank he wants to get rid of,would that hurt anything?
yeah, inverts
So I heard long ago that it was not good for fish, but then I saw Mike from Aqua Pros do it so I don't know.....
I laughed so hard when you coughed and said fine. I do hope you're fine tho :P. By the way - Plants actually absorb ammonia (NH3) directly from the water column and prefer it over trites/trates. So if you have enough plant matter to offset that ammonia there won't be a need to cycle the pond in the first place.
LOL, you can buy a shirt you know!
Thanks for the info!
hiya fishy folks and welcome to Michael's Backyard
LOL
What’s the hottest temperature for shipping right now in Cali it’s over 90s still too hot to order ?
Up to you. I am now offering express shipping, so that helps. I shipped on Monday and it was very hot!
I am kerala in india what motor used for fliteration
None
Ponds are the reason why I got back into fish keeping. I was going to do shubunkin goldfish but gold guppies are more fun and easier to keep over winter.
Very true
Can i ask some question? What plant did you use for your guppy tank
Java moss
@@MichaelsFishRoom oh okay thank you soo muchhh that would be help
@@MichaelsFishRoom ahmmm whats the main temperature lf guppy?
First Last do you mean the tank?
@@MichaelsFishRoom yes
Too bad they don’t make clear containers that size, well not that I’ve seen in stores. It would be cool to be able to look through the stock tank
That would be cool!
heyyyy michael
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY
How do you cycle a stock tank ?
Time(about a month), old filters with established bacteria( ask your local fish store), throw some fish food in it as well enjoy👍🏽
I don't. Didn't you watch the video?
Michael's Fish Room think he’s taking bout a tank not a pond my broski
MR.FACTS ARE RACIST well he said “stock tank”....
Video stratrs at 8:22
You spelled 0:00 wrong.
How about mosquito larvae, will seven Fish be able to keep up with eating them all?
Yup!
i am anxiously awaiting my first pond fry. Mommas are looking thicc! lol
LOL...good luck!
You are looking good! Have you lost weight?
About 30 Lbs!
That’s wonderful. Inspiration to others
So hot here. I can’t do outdoor ponds. ☹️☹️☹️☹️
How hot?
There's no need for air pumps for tubs outside tho
That is what I said.
And I run them with a couple big sponges
Nice
4k in full effect
You like?
@@MichaelsFishRoom im all about that quality lol
Only difference in prime is it has a slime coat booster
I think also heavy metals....
First
I see you want to start a war 😂😂😂😂
Yes
Easy boys.....
5.38 actual it start
No the start is at 0:00
Let everyone be PATIENT n watch the whole video .. 👍🏼 remember patience no need to jump to 5:38
You should get some mosquito fish. They wont breed with the guppies and they will eat the draggonfly larva.
The dragonfly will eat them.
Second
First place loser!
And a pro tip from a beginner (me) don't don't DON'T add substrate. 🤦 EVER!
Lol...why?
@@MichaelsFishRoom you ever emptied a tub with sand and there's 500 fry stuck in the substrate 🤦
Aquatic Ma nope, but that sounds like it sucks.
You probably need to replace inflatable pond before tragedy
Guess what I am doing RIGHT NOW?
You make a video of it??
It will be released next week
20 mins for how to make guppy pond hmm
Yup, and I bet you watched the entire thing.
Michael's Fish Room bout to 😋
OFB - Guppy Strain Development did you learn anything?
A tad and a dash are real, the thing about removing hormones (didn’t know fish release hormones lol) and that u can’t overdose seachem and prime 👍🏽
OFB - Guppy Strain Development so 20
Minutes we’ll spent.
