Making a Serene Waterfalls Mini Ecosystem Lake (Feeder Goldfish Sanctuary)

- Several years ago, I began planning to build a large pond for my goldfish. more specifically, something I could swim in with them. Various circumstances pushed the project back. However, late last year I began planning for it once again and I'm happen to finally share it with you.
I couldn't have done this along, though. Thanks to @EdThePondProfessor @TEAMAquascape @AquaticEdge and many other for helping me bring this dream to fruition. Enjoy!

I am so excited to finally have this done! It feels like we've been planning and working on it forever now. I'm excited to show you how it evolves over the years and how the fish will enjoy it. Stay tuned for more and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
You guys did an awesome job!
And you know they will be using the paper trick for now on.
I wouldn’t exactly call it mini
its amazing how there is so much detail but it looks so beautiful and natural.
if you are able to absorb the loss in revenue from not putting a video out then don't worry about putting them out so much, you do you and we will continue to be happy with whatever you give us. Don't feel pressured to satisfy us every week.
These videos are phenomenal. The UK is so small and the economy so different that your income bracket would have to be substantial to be able to afford the space and resources to achieve this. Truly, I'm jealous.
I clicked so fast.
sameee
Same as well lol
Relate
me to dude@@eliasjacquet9565
It says you commented before the video was out
Something I can't get over is how up to 40 people were spotting moss and collecting it in buckets for you while working on this project. That's just wholesome; I wish I had friends like that. Breathtaking pond though!
I know, that was so sweet! "Oh, you like moss! Here's some buckets full of it"
That may be the most natural looking waterfall I have ever seen. The addition of the wood and especially the stumps are just so next level. All those pond guys learned a ton of design (and technique) and are all gonna deliver the best pond in their area. I can't wait for the update video.
Even throughout all of this chaos, you can really tell how much Tanner loves creating these things. You can see the joy and excitement on his face. This is definitely where he is at home. Creating beautiful things with amazing people that love it just as much as he does.
This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus
Zechariah 13:7
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
The Shepherd here is Jesus.
John 10:11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
This is the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Matthew 26:31
Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
This happened near 30 AD.
Hosea 6:1-2
Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again.
And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus.
Luke 21:11 ►
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Matthew 24:6
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
Peace and Love to you all
Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse.
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
God bless you all.
Please spread this message to the ends of the world
Everyone gathering moss for you is so heartwarming and wholesome. This whole project is such a dream- you’re going to love this for years to come. I also love common and comet goldfish! I’m so happy to see you caring for these lovely, friendly fish.
the moss story got me too
The moss thing was so cute honestly
@@cheyennemoran1937 everybody loves moss!!!!!!!!!
I’m not sure what is more beautiful, the pond or your desire to create a beautiful home to honor and care for fish that most people consider disposable and unworthy of care. Thank you for all that you do.
I think this is the most beautiful pond ever. These beautiful
Goldfish are special. I have one goldfish which I rescued but will need a pond soon. I wish I could have a pond for him in my back yard or donate him to someone having a nice pond. Take care. Great video. ❤️
This is absolutely beautiful! The fact that you brought your first frog into this makes it magical. You put alot of love into this and it shows.. Its amazing! THANK YOU
i saw ur desert simulation vid
Your the best Hillbilly
I'm a Pennsylvanian born and raised and you honored the state with this creation, Tanner. Everyone came together and made something super special. Awesome to see. God bless.
Being there for 4 days was a lot of work but just to see your entire telling of this epic vision come to life really puts it all into perspective. Happy to have been a part of this and that you’ll get to enjoy seeing it grow in! Can’t wait to see more with the gold fish.
I saw this build on y'all's social media first and was SO EXCITED! Great job on the waterfall!
@@amberbonei that’s awesome ! Thanks for checking it out
you were there? Must to have been great adventure. I would love to learn more about logistics and structure, "other facilities" like, where people rested during breaks, did you move in extra bathrooms, who did the food was handeled - and costs of this whole project
@@ivanangeliwelp too bad
@@ColbyYadz what do you mean?
After 3 months, 6 months or a year can you do an update on this so we can see how it grew from what it is right now?
Edit: Dang I'm famous lol
I'm sure we will see more of this as time goes on.
This pond ecosystem will be a content machine. Smart move on Tanner’s part to realize a personal dream while giving himself an endless source of desirable content.
@@bryandaves1005imo if anyone deserves it it’s him, I see few people as consistently hardworking and dedicated not only to creating ethical art but amazing and naturalistic homes for their pets
@a4black no doubt that's a given. I hope he includes night footage of critters too.
@@uppityglivestockianyeah
I got choked up seeing MJ's tree and his remains. 💔I'm so glad you got to bring them with you to memorialize him in this awesome new build. The pond and waterfalls are amazing, it really inspires me. Good luck with it's development in the years to come, I look forward to seeing your updates!
This is one of those things where we just have to live vicariously through you. I don’t even want to know what this project would cost for a regular person.
Why am I tearing up at the credits and acknowledgments at the end?? It’s just so wholesome and beautiful to see all these people coming and working together and making friends
You're not aline, I teared up too!!
because you are a creature of God who can sympathize with the plight of the humble feeder goldfish. I'm right there with you.
@@ElaineTaylor95same here. When he was talking about MJ and his tree, I started to go soft 😭
It was hard but everyone had a blast and gave it their all to make this thing awesome. Being a part of this was something I’ll never forget.
@@goosenotmaverick1156oh man when I saw him putting in the little frog statue I got misty
Tanner, never feel bad if you have to miss a week, especially if you're working on some amazing project. We fans are patient, and trust that you are doing something cool. We know we will get to see it sooner or later!
Yeah its like Ramsey says;
'People are willing to wait for good food'
Dude you are a literal artist! This is just a living form of the most natural beauty. How cool to have 40+ people round at your house working on your project… amazing dude❤️
I rescued a common goldfish and named him Bobby. He was a huge horse trough goldfish that someone dumped in the chlorinated pond outside my work. Our security guard fished him out and I took him home and a few days later I bought him a 50-55 gallon tank. Unfortunately he still wasn’t happy he was probably a pond fish so he was stressed and upset. So I re-homed him to a friend with a pond with other goldfish. He is now happy with some girlfriends! Bobby was a very handsome boy, I didn’t have him long but I still think about him all the time.
This is beautiful! It looks like waterfalls I'd see on a hike, and I adore it. Incredible work with an amazing team!
please post update videos as you continue to work on this project! it already looks incredible :)
It is so heartwarming to see your love of goldfish. The only fish I ever kept were some feeder goldfish I rescued as a teenager. I wish I had access back then to the kind of teaching and example of animal care you offer. Also the idea of having a goldfish pond you can swim in? So exciting! Thanks for letting us all appreciate this amazing pond vicariously.
I love that you work in the most different scales possible. From tiny aquariums to giant ponds. The best on youtube!
Just an idea I had, but would it be possible to give monthly/bi-monthly updates on the pond? I for one am very interested to see how it matures and grows and I’m sure many others would appreciate it as well!
Keep up the great work!
Tanner, dont be ashamed about doing two week schedules! Life must be hectic and your quality of work is evident. Time for yourself, your family, and your animals and plants is important for your health.
Thank you for sharing your adventure.
This is the most natural and breath-taking pond I’ve ever seen!
I love to see how much connections and friends he’s made during his years of making this content! It’s so great to see how friendly and welcoming this community is
Cant wait to see this in 12 months, 2 years, 5 years! well done brother, awesome.
Three minutes in, and I just wanna say... However long these videos take is fine. You share huge events and massive projects. You are transparent, you are professional, and you are making some of the best content on the Internet.
Live first; we'll be happy to share the ride when you get the chance to share.
Ed is the best person ever for this build, a true problem solver plus his ability to see possible changes for the better and functionability. I've always said it's not a pond build without some rain...😅 Really looking forward to seeing it fully scaped and matured, and of course Tanner's input and additions will make it Magnificent!!! 😎🌴
Propably one of my favorite creators. One of your best videos. Great job on the script, can't wait to see the pond full of happy fish, frogs, plants, and bugs 😊
That turned out absolutely amazing it is going to look fantastic as it matures great job to all those who are involved
This is amazing. I looooove the outside work you've done.
This. Is. Amazing!! I don't have words as epic as this pond is. Simply incredible. Can't wait to see how it develops further!
I can imagine this must be a dream to have it in your own backyard.
The serpa design logo in moss 😂
This is beyond awesome, it’s gorgeous, and I can’t believe it all got wrapped up in practically 8 days!!! I’m sure the fish will love the open space!
I noticed the logo too 👍😊
The way you think about your projects and space is very inspiring. It really seems like you're creating a life full of the things you are passionate about and it helps me think about my life and my space in a whole new way. Thank you for sharing your journey!
seriously it’s insane! he’s incredibly thoughtful and passionate. It’d be a blessing having even 10% of his skill and motivation 😭 so talented
Wow unbelievable🤗🤗🤗 What a fantastic water feature from the guys at Aquascape and all the other pond building companies. Ed the professor is truly amazing👍 I hope you put a lot of turtles, Bull frogs, and eventually Koi or other fish!! They will strive and live in the best environment. I would even love to see ducks🤙🦆🐢🐠
This deserves a follow up video. I bet it will grow in absolutely gorgeous. And I’m gonna need to see the whole new deck and everything too! 🙈 Incredible work, as always.
This is so amazing. Please do a one year update on this project.
I love watching builds from Tanner because of how I’m depth his explanations are. He always explains everything he’s done in good detail
Just wow, absolutely incredible! So excited to see more of this beautiful feature as it matures and the goldfish are introduced. It will be paradise!
It looks as close to perfect as anyone could make it! Excellent work by all involved!😊
Lol, looking at your previous pond build and comparing it to the newly built beauty, I had Crocodile Dundee sounding off in my head with, "That's not a pond. THAT'S a pond!" 😅
All of your builds are amazing, but the water features really take my breath away 😍
This was an insane build! Incredible to see how similar it is to your smaller projects but just done on a much larger scale!
I want to see an update to this pond so badly! I’ve watched this video four times now. It’s given me so much inspiration for a pond build I’m helping my brother with. I love this channel :)
This is my 4th time watching, too! I can't wait for an update video of this pond.
This is a sick video! So much work went into it and it was great to get a glimpse into the process of the whole project. Can't wait to see how it progresses in the future! 🤩
First & foremost, We send our deepest condolences for Mj’s passing, Second….. this is the most beautiful man made pond/ecosystem. We love it & I will do something very similar one day. A home is first on the list of course…. Outstanding work & we sincerely thank you for sharing. I can only imagine how the goldfish & frogs feel living in a heaven. Rock on dude 😎
This is probably the most BEAUTIFUL pond I've ever seen, the absolutely labor of love that went into it, and who knows how much money is just incredible. Congrats on your stunning stunning pond, I can't wait to see the goldfish put in for the first time, them and all the new local frogs are going to live their best lives
I’m in tears. I didn’t know the frog passed away. Losing him was probably like losing a family member especially after 14 years. Im sorry for your loss.
Luckiest comets ever. You’re amazing Tanner. Thank you for giving these misunderstood and often neglected and abused fish a true home.
I'm impressed by your dedication to your work ! 😍
It’ll be interesting to see continued updates on the evolution of this project. It is already a major addition to your backyard. The habitat for frogs, birds and other wildlife will be an interesting component of the new pond. Somehow to call it a pond in a big understatement. Congratulations on the addition.
This is an absolutely insane and beautiful build! Although I only have 1/10 of the space I’m realizing how pathetic my pond looks now and am motivated to go out and finally finish it! You and the team really did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Mega project! So cool to have this in your backyard. Can't wait to see how it will evolve! Congrats on this amazing feat!
Absolutely beautiful! I cant wait to see how it matures. 💚
Stunning 😍 and it's only going to look more beautiful & like it was always meant to be there with time! It's amazing what you all accomplished in just a week! The hardwork & labor definitely paid off! Your goldfish are going to love it & the local frogs will make it their home 🐟🐸🐢🦆🦢🦋🐝🌻🪻🌾🌿🌴🐍
I've not clicked play button yet but the title and miniature gives me chills damn !! What a wholesome project !
I love your pond! Five years ago, I turned my 5000 gallon above ground swimming pool, into a "feeder" goldfish pond. It is 4 feet deep. The 20 babies I originally bought have multiplied. I have lost a few as well, most likely to raccoons or gray herons. I plan to make them an inground pond sometime this winter or by next Spring at the latest. I can't wait!
I can't wait to see the 5 year update. This is going to be a beautiful watery home.
I wish I had a house and a yard. This is so beautiful! Can't wait to see how it grows in.
So beautiful. Can’t wait to see it matured into the water world with all the critters that will come to make it home.
Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous pond with us
Hooray! I love this build - i've watched Team Aquascape's version, but your's shows all the behind the scenes work. It's truly amazing. Your cinematography and story telling had tears in my eyes. Mostly when all your hard work was destroyed by rain and you had to redo it. Bravo!
This is a prime example of why it's so important to get a good crew for these projects.
Meu irmão, esse lago ficou simplismente incrível, esse sistema de filtragem abriu minha mente.
It’s truly beautiful and the goldfish will love it to. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. You do amazing things.
What the hell, Tanner?! Watching your channel and exploits over the years, this feels like an incredible milestone! I am so looking forward to see updates on the pond!
This is the new series I'm looking most forward to in 2024!
I've been watching you for years now and am really glad I can share in your journey. So amazing to see your commitment and passion. I doubt I will ever undertake such a massive project but what inspiration!
Appreciate your support over the years! It's all come a long way from the beginning, that's for sure.
This turned out so cool, I can't wait to see the growth 1 year out.
Absolutely amazing! Definitely looks and sounds like a relaxing environment.
So so so looking forward to see this fully established!!!
Tanner I just want to say I look forward to each and every upload. The effort and love you put into each project. From the way you speak and narrate to your passion and care you give to your animals. There is really no one else like you and love your videos. Thank you for sharing man, Beautiful to see ❤ cheers ❣️
I appreciate this! I do take a lot of intention in all of the videos, and especially in the past few months, to make them as good as I possibly can, alongside the projects themselves.
@@SerpaDesign You're killing it man! I've seen the improvement over the years, especially the last several months and it's beautiful to see your progress :) seems like you're really doing projects you enjoy☺️
I'm impressed with the scale of this project! It's breathtaking even at this early stage. I look forward to seeing updates as the surround is finished, and in the years to come as the landscaping matures.
Great job Tanner!
fantastic build! you guys are going to enjoy that for many years, and so are your golden little friends! that team really did a crack job, they know what they're doing!
Absolutely beautiful, and MJ's tree with his remains placed once again under the tree, was very touching.
I audibly gasped when you mentioned bringing MJ's tree over! The perfect touch!
Wow this is such a great project. Good job to everyone who worked on this!
Growing up I had couple of feeder goldfish and they grew to be over 10” in 4/5 years. Sadly they passed away during a move. 😢
Tanner this is your most incredible project to date, and the fact that you guys accomplished so much in just 8 days through near constant rain is just madness. I can’t wait to see it all grown in. Also, glad to see the dragon make a cameo 😊
No other fish deserves this more than the Goldfish!!
Congratulations! It's amazing! I'd love to be able to hear waterfalls from my backyard. I love goldfish too so I'm happy to see them being treated well. Love from Memphis~
My sheer joy at seeing the thumbnail and reading the title was surpassed only by the comfort and nostalgia the video itself brought. It's clear that this project took unimaginable time and effort, and even unmatured, the result is beautiful. I've never been happier to have a youtuber's passions so closely match my interests, and I'm really grateful to see this take shape. Thank you for the video!
I appreciate the goldfish love! They're one of my fav animals, and such underrated fish
It would be nice to see you adding the fish, and going over the frogs and such, and I feel like crayfish or other crustaceans would do well, but hey- all in all, this is fantastic!
That is just beautiful…holy wow! The landscapelooks very much like the creeks I explored as child. Can’t wait to see what it looks like when fully mature. The humble goldfish win the lottery and now has a mansion!
a masterpiece of a story, video & achievement my friend. it is so beautiful even in this unfinished state. thank you tanner :)
My mind is blown… it’s beautiful. Beyond beautiful. This is a literal dream of mine and you’ve done it. I’m incredibly happy for you and bit jealous lol. Can’t wait to see updates.
My friend, you are an inspiration. I haven't been a follower for very long (I've only recently learned about recreational terrarium building) but have been interested in building natural swimming pools. This video beautifully and elegantly blends the two together. I will be rewatching this video for years to come. Thank you for sharing this. Can't wait to see updates on this!
This turned out so stunning oh my god! I love watching people who are good at what they do, it’s very satisfying. Everyone did incredible.
(Also snap, frogs are one of my favourites too)
What an awesome build..!!! The BEST part of this is your statements about frogs and the common goldfish..!!!
My childhood memories have kept my love for fish and critters alive for nearly 60 years and it’s great to see your memories develop into this pond.. one question I’m sure everyone will want to know is the cost..? I think informing us, would help those thinking about doing the same thing will help us realize if it’s even possible... Can’t wait to follow all the updates on this..!!! Thanks for sharing an excellent, captivating video of what’s gotta be your proudest creation..!!!
This is a beautiful pond and I cant wait to see it grow and mature. Your respect and admiration for nature and the animals you keep is inspiring. Aquascape and their contractors always do such crazy good work, glad you got to collaborate with them again.
This is incredible!! The best part is that whole pond and pond area is done for goldfish! The most touching part for me is the transplant of your precious frog and his tree. That makes this whole thing absolute perfection.
As happy as I am for the goldfish, I can't wait for wildlife to take advantage of the pond, too. It would be so cool to wake up one morning and find the upper ponds filled with tadpoles or the occasional turtle just piddling about
It amazes me how natural it looks! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Your consistent weekly uploads are truly and undertaking and I’m sure all of us will understand if you ever need to take longer, especially with the continued increase in detail, intricacy, and quality! Thank you for sharing all your projects with us!
I don't know why I'M crying but the whole build came out so gorgeous!! Just thinking of all the fish (and frogs) that will call this home, really makes me grateful there are people like you looking out for them! Can't wait to see an update in the future, keep up the amazing work!
It’s already awesome and I can’t wait to see it when it’s grown in and stocked!
Awesome to hear the whole story and all the challenges you overcame to pull this off and what an amazing feature! Also it was an honor to work alongside you for this project, truly amazed at your work ethic throughout the whole project!!!
The fact that he had to volunteer himself to stand in the dirty water shows how much he loves what he does
It’s his pond why wouldn’t he
I test the waterproof of boots by standing in my snapping turtle pond
@@chewie1644 true
I would rather have it unfinished like yours. The fun is putting in more plants and landscape. It is ever changing which you will never be bored with.
MJ's Tree and remains made me cry. The new frog is so sweet.
this is amazing!! Love to see the evolution on your channel Tanner, thanks again for sharing it with us all. Just magical!!!!!!!
