Professional drainage, organic water filtration with the mosses, excellent oxygenation of the water, solar lights, and now a new pump; Post10, your frogs are so spoiled~😆🥰
Love your frog pond. Not everybody appreciates frogs. lol The motion activated frog you converted into a fountain reminded me of a bachelor friend who lived on the water. He used the frog to 'guard' the door to the guest room when his little nephews visited. It would RIVET really loud if they tried to sneak out. Thanks.
your best bet with the air stones is simply to run 5 seperate stones, bind them together in a bundle for the majority of the length then just have them split off at the end, like a palm tree... no tangle that way, and full throughput
What a great new solar pump. The airstone and hose questionn really comes down to flow rate and pressure, same as water pumps. Reducing down to one hose will give a higher back pressure to the pump I'd think, perhaps loading it up too much. Two tubes would probably be better.
Yeah you should put more air stones on that air pump, having them all go into one put a large amount of pressure on the valves. Eventually they'll break a lot quicker, I found that out myself when I did it.
Hi Post, From my experience one hose to the air stone is best. I only had a pump with two ports or whatever it's called. In the beginning I could have two stones but within a year or two the pump became to weak. I had well water and it was on a fish tank. You have a much larger setup. I love what you're doing for the frogs. Also I'm kinda jealous of your set-up. Thank you for sharing this. ❤😊
If you want to prevent small tadpoles from getting caught by the inward flow of the pump, maybe you could place the pump in one of your spare squirrel traps and wrap the trap up with window screen. That would probably prevent small tadpoles from getting caught by the water pressure from the pump.
The bigger cage is also to increase the surface area. It'll reduce the the flow down enough to help stop small fish from being pulled in. Also as debris gets pulled in, it'll provide extra surface area to keep it going for longer without cleaning. I think you'll find the pump will perform well for quite some time. For the size of the pond, I think rotating the pond once per hour would be too much, once every 2 or 3 should be sufficient, you don't have a number of fish in there. Some more plants will help with regulating the pH and other waste products.
Don't use a restriction reducer. Instead install a T and and put a ball valve or some other tap on one side of T. You can then reduce / increase bypass water volume rather than reducing pressure on the pipe from pump and causing back pressure strain on the motor. Regards from South Africa
If you put the pump inside a 5 gallon paint strainer,the tadpoles won't get sucked into the pump. It will slow down over time. They're available at Home Depot or Lowes.
Cool project, next time when you drill into softer things like plastic, start off with a much smaller bit and slowly work your way up to the size you want. Takes longer but saves some $. Have a great day and thank you for the entertainment as always, love the content!
Ok I am not an amphibian fan but I think it’s cool you are attempting to save the tadpoles. Besides those frogs are great for eating bugs in the summer. Can’t wait to see updates on the progress. ❤🐸❤🐸
Lot better upgrade for those cute frogs, Im sure they will love it. I have a ditch thats full of frogs and cattails out in the country. Its really cute and relaxing when you hear the frogs at night. Are you planning on another vegetable garden? Your vegetable garden videos got me ambitious to start one this year! Trying all by seed and see what happens. Fingers crossed.
had one very similar that was pre-packed with bioballs, a pain in the butt because there was almost exactly the volume of bioballs within the cage... had to pack them TIGHT lol
only half the air stone works cause the water pressure, most air stones are only designed for 12-18 inches of depth, below this you need a much finer stone to ensure the pump pressure is high enough to reach the end of the stone else the backpressure of the water will ingress
It’s going to look gorgeous once it gets warmer and the grass and plants start growing around the pond again. Are you planning on doing any specialty plants this year? 😊
Hey Post, you may or may not be interested.. but there's a company that makes manually operated, wind up generators that you can use if you have no gas/solar/or other types of powered generators. The company is called K-Tor, and the products are made in the United States.
you go to one here so what you need to do is every year you need to scrub your air stone with a scrub scrubby sponge There's Bonjour a bristles brush that gets you of any algae in other guns that's grown up and gotten stuck into the air stone and you should replace your airstones every two years anyway because they degrade they fall apart. So the best air stone you can get is a compact air stone that's not long that's not wide that's spherical shape works best like a small cylinder or small globe because you want more bubbles coming out of your airstone to give yourself the most amount of agitation and surface to air exchange water to air exchange on the surface The more smooth your water the less actual air exchange you get in your water can get stagnant and have anoxic areas which is not good for your fish or your plants but it's good for certain bacteria which you don't want because those bacteria make methane gas and that's already helping to heat up the planet faster than CO2 So you don't want to make methane if you can help it luckily unlike CO2 methane degrades after 12 years but it depends on how much could dumped into the atmosphere all at once Whereas carbon dioxide lasts for about 10,000 years before it degrades
I've been thinking of making a waterfall on a garden hill in my backyard. I think I want to try using a small solar panel with battery backup for night time use though. I don't really feel like bringing 120V out there just for a small pump, but I want it to run at night too.
I think that with the linked air hoses to the one big bubbler, you’re losing capacity because you’re choking the hose down smaller and, even though it’s got more force, it seems like there would be less air getting through overall. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like to me.
Would adding also a battery to the big panel so you have a back-up in case there is to little sun/uv light. Though i would say put it in a weatherproof box or something..
If you’re still concerned about the tadpoles getting stuck, perhaps you could slide the whole pump into part of the leg of an old pair of pantyhose. The leg will stretch over it easily and you could tie off the ends. 🙂
It would look really nice with some added landscaping around it, like some boxwoods and flowers. Are you required to change the water on it like an aquarium?

that set up makes me wish i was a frog :p
Ya this guy is awesome
Great progress. Can't wait for the new garden!
The frog spitting water is SO CUTE!
Love your frog idea, genius. It's looking so cool now , bet the animals are loving it .

Well done Post. I think the one air stone is sufficient for that pond, plus it does look nicer without the tangle of hoses you had to mess with.
Brilliant video Post , you are doing a great thing for the frogs .
Thanks post for making your videos, I have been battling some depression and anxiety and your videos help...
Love the frog fountain modification. What a wonderful pond you’ve created.
Very cool post 10, you have a very creative mind. Thank you for another awesome video
Great to see water flowing. Thanks Post.
The frogs gotta be loving this and loving you.🤗
your best bet with the air stones is simply to run 5 seperate stones, bind them together in a bundle for the majority of the length then just have them split off at the end, like a palm tree... no tangle that way, and full throughput
oh have them at different lengths so you can spread them out more easily too.
Love the ponds and the frog is great!! Your property is so great!! Have a great week and thank you!!❤😊
That was wicked. What a blast. Wow! Awesome.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s so awesome! Can’t wait to see the other babies later. They’re spoiled! LOL

Perfect spot to sit with a coffee or a glass of wine :) great effort on that pond, Post 👏🏻
Love your nature-y DIY’s! I’ll be excited to see the progress. 🐸
You're a true Horsefighter!❤
Nice job, the sound of trickling water outside is lovely, you have some lucky wildlife in your garden/yard.

Slip some pant hose over the outside of the filterto keep the tadpoles out
Love what you did with the frog...ribbit, ribbit...🐸
I love Frogs seriously, wish i could make my own frog pond Post.
I love this little pond
I really like the sounds and the atmosphere... its got me thinking of things to do on my front porch area. I wouldnt mind a nice water feature. Hmmmmm
Don't use a restriction reducer. Instead install a T and and put a ball valve or some other tap on one side of T. You can then reduce / increase bypass water volume rather than reducing pressure on the pipe from pump and causing back pressure strain on the motor.

Wow you put alot of work into that. Good job , enjoy the critters ☺🐸
You could put the whole pump in a mesh paint straining bag and tie it closed, so they can’t go in there at all. Just a thought.
Love the repurposed 🐸
You did an amazing job with the new pond, it looks beautiful. 👍🏼 from Maryland
That's a nice lil pond. Great solar pump.
Build a screened box to put over pump until they get larger
Love your huge frog by the pond. ❤
Cool project, next time when you drill into softer things like plastic, start off with a much smaller bit and slowly work your way up to the size you want. Takes longer but saves some $. Have a great day and thank you for the entertainment as always, love the content!
I love it
I have those solar pumps You just put in water and they start pumping
I like the frg. Its a nice touch. Good job.
Put window screen over the top to cover those big holes and protect the deadbolt
At least for koi ponds and I assume other fish ponds you want the water to cycle 2 times per hour. So that pump should work great for you.
Wrap the pump in screen so the tadpoles don't get sucked in
Ok I am not an amphibian fan but
I think it’s cool you are attempting to save the tadpoles. Besides those frogs are great for eating bugs in the summer. Can’t wait to see updates on the progress. ❤🐸❤🐸

Thanks great video enjoyed
The tadpoles aren't going to be able to get away from the pressure of that center part
This is going to be so cool!!!
Absolutely 100% guarantee this will never get clogged and the water will flow freely.
I like your pond, very professional 👌🏼
Nice set up
Thats gorgeous ❤
Legend
Interesting video. You're very knowledgeable!
the cage around the pump is for packing with filter floss and/or bioballs etc
had one very similar that was pre-packed with bioballs, a pain in the butt because there was almost exactly the volume of bioballs within the cage... had to pack them TIGHT lol
Awesome job
Yeah you probably drilled too fast but it's still working good
More frog videos please 🐸 , love your videos
Thanks 👍 post 10

There's a lot of pressure on that center part but a little bit on the exterior of the pump body
Cant wait for the video of you unclogging them brick culverts, i don't think you'll need ur big high boots for that video
Thanks for this! ⛲

Those wind-powered pumps are really cool. I saw so many of those when I was exploring the western states
Post, just wrap the pump in screen to keep the tadpoles out

What about adding a small piece of window screen on top of what you already attached to prevent them entering the pump? Just a thought. Love you Post!
You amaze me
👏

Excellent video

Yes, I would need a bigger panel though, because I have since learned this panel doesn't even work on cloudy days
@@post.10 oh i see
I wish I could afford any amount of land to be able to do similar with.
Post Ten Water Park. Open 10am to 3pm Saturday.
If you’re still concerned about the tadpoles getting stuck, perhaps you could slide the whole pump into part of the leg of an old pair of pantyhose. The leg will stretch over it easily and you could tie off the ends. 🙂
nice
Would you be able to make a fence around the pump using the ridge vent material and bamboo or something?
All right Post 10 🙂👍👍
Wrap a screen around the whole pump so they can't get to the center part
It would look really nice with some added landscaping around it, like some boxwoods and flowers. Are you required to change the water on it like an aquarium?
Yes because it will be overpopulated
@@post.10 Ok, didn't know how it would work for me in the future with maybe 2-3 fish.
Nylons or panti hose can make great filters. I used them all the time as a painter.
I like the frog. I would put some weight just incase
Yeah drill the Frog
Stuff that outer area around the intake with aquarium filter media.
Cool!
1:16 that is what she said :)
Hi Post 👋
Don't forget to solar duct tape those solar panels
Do you think that the solar panels would work better if they were flat on the ground to get direct sun?
I tried that and doesn't seem to make a difference.
why not a 12v marine bilge pump?
