Get a bigger heater Or simply more heaters if you can't find a big one. Also you can get a temperature gun at home depot to check the temperature of the water.
This video helped me alot. Just taking water out helps alot. I have a submersible heater but its not powerful enough for the size of my pond. The temperature outside was 40 and getting colder and today was Christmas Eve so everything was closed. I had to search for other ways of warming my pond. This worked! Thanks alot!!!
You should get a slighty more powerful heater or have a hot spot even though you have a heater in the skimmer because the temperature is going to change by tomorrow and your water bill will be a tad bit higher :)... I mean just get another heater cause no ones going to be doing a water change every 2 days, put the second heater under where the flow of the waterfall is, that way it'll push the heat further out with the waterflow and you already have a heater in the skimmer so just upgrade that one as well
You need to buy rma filter saves loads ,gets rid of chlorine and chloroform and other Heavy metals there only about 40dollars and they last years instead of pouring the expensive stuff in which doesn’t really help paul
I guess for those who don't have a proper heater you gotta do what you gotta do but if one doesn't plan on adding a good pond heater then you just shouldn't have a pond.
Okay buddy but really. If you are gonna do it do it right. And I don't have the $ to do it right now so guess what.. I ain't doing it cuz it's not fair to the fish. Now have a nice day.
No this is so bad for the fish, buy proper pond heaters, and if you've got a big one buy two or three and keep it warm that way. You are only stressing out your fish with that hot water, and adding water everyday reduces the necessary bacteria in the pond that keep the fish alive and reduce ammonia- Believe me.
This doesn't make sense: It is way more expensive than tossing a couple more heaters in and not having to stress the fish out with so much temperature fluctuation. They would fare much better with a consistent temperature!
lol I thought I was the only one who duct taped hoses to the kitchen faucet for a water change! xD These days I prefer to set up a siphon instead though.
brandon quinn he has one in the skimmer, but it's clearly not powerful enough.. This method is wasteful cause he said he'd do it again in the morning if the water is cold.. Can you imagine doing that every couple morning when you can just get a heater for a 2000 gallon pond and call it a day lol
With the power you using to fill the pond with hot geyser water you can just as well use a heater in the pond. You saving water and not using up all your house's hot water and have more consistent warm water in the pond which wont stress the fish.
No no no.. please don't do this to your pond anymore please. that hot ass water is bad for the fish because you are shocking your fish. do your research before posting videos like this. I finally started following your videos but thus makes me want to stop because it's bad info.
Hi Paul, I just discovered your channel & when I discover a new channel that I like I start watching all their videos in order from the very first to the most recent (in order). I'm a pond owner myself, my entire backyard is like an oasis. My pond is 30ft long, at the widest spot it's 17ft and 6ft deep at the lowest part. I'm a native Floridian like yourself, I love watching people build their own ponds, but the best DIY Ponds have come from owners who have taken the time to do research about what they want done to their pond. I'm sure somewhere in the rest of your videos that I have to watch you will have constructed a better pond than this on. It's ok for what it is, but you're missing some key elements my friend. For 1) you have no filtration that skimmer is not filter the water, it's doing exactly what the name says, skimming the surface of debris. 2) You have no bottom drain. 3) You really shouldn't use blue dye in your pond, makes it look cheat and thrown together. Take a look at some of the best ponds around the world, blue dye is no where in site. 4) Exotic fish in a pond in Florida do not not require a heater, especially fish that you have caught in the wild. Think about it, you're catching fish from nearby rivers, canals, surrounding neighborhood lakes, there are no artificial heating elementary in those bodies of water, everything is regulated by nature. But, if you must get one, get one that regulates the temp and can shut itself off during the day. If you have a heater heating the water to 85 degrees at night, think of what the water temp will be during the day time when the sun is at its highest in Florida. One heavy duty pond heater should be sufficient, because I've never heard of that "QUICK TIP" as you called it. In fact, that's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of. If you do that every day in the winter, please tell me what you parents reaction is when they read their water bill, lol I would very much like to know. Do your research before hand kid, it's going to save you a lot of headaches & dead fish.
Fish are used to living in water at colder temperatures. With the heater they should be fine. I wouldn't worry too much unless it gets way too cold. Around 60 degrees. 85 degrees is too high, sweat spot is 72-78
My hot water tank has a spigot for a hose, you might want to check yours so you could take out less water from the pond and run straight hot water to the pond. Name the Gar "Pimpin"
I see lots of comments for getting a bigger heater, how about managing the heat you already have better. Such as turning off the waterfall and putting a cover/tarp over it.
40 degrees thats hot as here in Australia we get around 37 degrees on a hot day Edit:just realised its in farenheit and in winter we have 80 degrèes farenheit
Do you ever consider getting like a tarp to cover your pond on cold nights? Kinda like a pool tarp? would that work instead of draining tons of water every time the temperature drops?
you can actually add too much dechlorinator and make sure its a dechlorinator and declorimine as one without the other will leave you with ammonia. Adding too much can burn the gills and its best to drain and fill at same time to gradually acclimate the fish slowly....
You're electric and water bill has gotta be super high... What you should do is invest in the heater that you have for your pond and lower the water temporarily then turn the heater on high. With less water the overall water temp will rise a lot faster and stay warmer. In the winter time you can simply keep the water level a bit on the lower side so your heater doesn't have to work as hard to keep the overall temp as high. More water = lower temp, Less water = higher temp.
Hi I am from the UK and plan to move to Florida to start a pet care business. How many gallons is your pond? And how much would a 10 to 20 thousand gallon pond cost?
Please show us more underwater views of your pond in detail, and longer views of the condition of your fish, and if they are or are not a wise choice to share such a small pond.
GameMasta14 owning a pond actually doesn't cost to much after setting em up. my buddy's bill went up 40 bucks witch is nothing for how much water he uses. he's got 9 huge fish tanks and a 700 galloon pond that all get 25% water changes every week
You don't really need to do a water change in an outdoor (planted) pond which is exposed to rain. Only when cleaning the filter and then topping up. If the water tests ok and there aren't any problems it's best to not mess with it.
Hey I live in washington state and I was thinking of starting a pond this summer. I'm not going to have anything crazy like you mostly because I can afford it but should I even bother with a pond because in the winter we can have weeks were the temp is below 32 it would be great if you could give me some input thanks!
CC Gaming & More u could build the pond yes and keep some indoor aquariums or tote containers as a quarantine tank to put them in during winter periods
Get a bigger heater Or simply more heaters if you can't find a big one. Also you can get a temperature gun at home depot to check the temperature of the water.

I really did like it....I don't have money for pumps and heaters and this n that so.....I simple trick like this really helps,thanks bro 🤘👌🌵🌮💯👏
You need to buy rma filter saves loads ,gets rid of chlorine and chloroform and other Heavy metals there only about 40dollars and they last years instead of pouring the expensive stuff in which doesn’t really help paul
How come you dont just throw a few big heaters in there?
It costs ALOT in electricity bills
One big one that's efficient enough maybe.
I guess for those who don't have a proper heater you gotta do what you gotta do but if one doesn't plan on adding a good pond heater then you just shouldn't have a pond.
Vinny Venegas hey back off
Okay buddy but really. If you are gonna do it do it right. And I don't have the $ to do it right now so guess what.. I ain't doing it cuz it's not fair to the fish.
Now have a nice day.
You only need a heater if you have exotics
That is going to cost a fortune! It would be cheaper in the long run to buy a better heater.
Won’t cost him a penny. Parents will pick up the tab. Lol
You can run that pump your throwing away into some type of sump tank with a heater and flow it out into your pond.
You should do these more often this was sooo useful I live in Utah and this helped so much!!!!
No this is so bad for the fish, buy proper pond heaters, and if you've got a big one buy two or three and keep it warm that way. You are only stressing out your fish with that hot water, and adding water everyday reduces the necessary bacteria in the pond that keep the fish alive and reduce ammonia- Believe me.
It is so much more worth it to just get another heater or two, and that water bill will be crazy
Daniel Dust how much is a heater
Yes get a heater
Vetrix 33 Google it dude
Nice handy tip keep them up and I love your channel one of my top three to watch along side catch em all fishing- call your gar leopard
U inspired me to build my own pond man now I have a 3 pound bass in it thanks Man U have helped me a lot
Your pond is the best
Please don't misunderstand me, I do very much enjoy your content.
Hey Paul I love your videos you have one of the best ponds on TH-cam
Double vids more of them plz🔥🔥 fire content and very helpful
Your vids your pond and your channel is the best ! I like that double upload !
can you do this without fail though? what if there are days when you're not home? or when you're sick, etc?
I missed this, its been a long time since i watch this❤
Your videos are so fun to watch
This doesn't make sense: It is way more expensive than tossing a couple more heaters in and not having to stress the fish out with so much temperature fluctuation. They would fare much better with a consistent temperature!
Peter Hay these fishes are wild caught so they are very adaptive so a minor temperature fluctuation won't harm them
Jodi Henry 90 and 60 degree is quite a major gap. Just saying.
2 vids in a day what a gr8 day
lol I thought I was the only one who duct taped hoses to the kitchen faucet for a water change! xD These days I prefer to set up a siphon instead though.
Put a small heater in the skimmer and waterfall. Just a suggestion
brandon quinn he has one in the skimmer, but it's clearly not powerful enough.. This method is wasteful cause he said he'd do it again in the morning if the water is cold.. Can you imagine doing that every couple morning when you can just get a heater for a 2000 gallon pond and call it a day lol

Ryan Fitzpatrick it's absolutely fine. He is doing it slowly so the fish will acclimate over about half an hour atleast.
Finally someone with some sense
It will ruin all the beneficiaries bacteria and ammonia level etc. it’s too large of a water change
I’m a professional fish keeper and this is perfectly fine
Is the Bait Tank still going? The one that was made from the plastic tub.
Awesome pone dude!!
Pond*
You should get a bigger heater that will sit on the bottom of your pond, like a disc shaped one.
Bro start making vlogs everyday I'd watch the shit out of em.

Your water bill must be boomin
The water coming from the tap is more like 120°-130° and you can add too much dechlorinator / chlorine it can actually really hurt your fish!
Like the quick tip vids
Super dope content bro! If you ever come up to jersey we gotta fish sometime. Keep up the good work rog
Dope vids todas keep up the good work

Thanks bro after 4 years i back

Who else clickes the video the second the notification pops and clickes the like?
Try to by another water heater and put it with the other one... and then try to by the heater cover so you dont damage the plastic where you put it..
Luv ur vids
Why not buy a couple water heaters and save your water bill???
Do more quick tip videos👍👍👍👍🔥👍🎣🎣👍🔥👍🎣
Great video Paul
Tyler Campbell i know jake paul is my fav!
Do you ever consider getting like a tarp to cover your pond on cold nights? Kinda like a pool tarp? would that work instead of draining tons of water every time the temperature drops?
You shold buy a pond heater to not repeat this way to worm your water
Love ur vids!!!
you can actually add too much dechlorinator and make sure its a dechlorinator and declorimine as one without the other will leave you with ammonia. Adding too much can burn the gills and its best to drain and fill at same time to gradually acclimate the fish slowly....
you can insure that by using Aquascape detox which is a dechlorinator and remove chloramine and chlorine and heavy metals....

There goes your hot water bill!
MK films you don't know how much water costs in Florida
Thanks
Are they exotics? Didnt you catch most of them locally?
Very helpful
Wow dumb notifications didn't alert me when you posted it
I guess in florida wont get cold often, so it would only be heat that way a few times
did he call Florida a "colder place"?
Sai Vipparla as im sitting in Pa ..16° as the high...i have to question what this kid thinks "Cold" is lol
lmao i'm in ct it's currenty 17 degrees
What if you tried a cover maybe a concrete blanket with a beach ball.
Please show us more underwater views of your pond in detail, and longer views of the condition of your fish, and if they are or are not a wise choice to share such a small pond.
Daddys paying the bills
I live in central Florida
Sick vid
That water bill bouta be through the roof
Do more Vida because you are awsomr
Like your video from france
Nice theise are really usefull
please do giveaways of 5 gallon tanks
and btw the videos are lit :D
Do you have papers for all your fish? Cause if you don’t you can get in trouble
Can't you use another heater?
In Canada here we get -40degrease
Thank you so much
Bro we have the same counter tops lol that's funny
Using warm water adds metals and other types of unwanted minerals in your tank/pond. Try using bottles of hot water floating on the surface
2 uploads? am i dreaming!
My parents would be so pissed if I used that much water 😂 gotta do what you gotta do tho
nice tip
Do more like this
Why don't you just cover the pond with black tarp?
Never cover a pond with a black tarp in allows no direct sun light which will eventually kill your fish
@@thepondowner At nights, during the day have it open.
imthe victorr at that point would be very inconvenient I would just go with a softer color that allows light in or polycarbonate sheets
Are the pelcos and the knife fish in ur pond ???
Hows your water bill????
GameMasta14 owning a pond actually doesn't cost to much after setting em up. my buddy's bill went up 40 bucks witch is nothing for how much water he uses. he's got 9 huge fish tanks and a 700 galloon pond that all get 25% water changes every week
Ya but when hes flushing 100s of gallons in and out that bills going to rocket
You don't really need to do a water change in an outdoor (planted) pond which is exposed to rain. Only when cleaning the filter and then topping up. If the water tests ok and there aren't any problems it's best to not mess with it.

CC Gaming & More u could build the pond yes and keep some indoor aquariums or tote containers as a quarantine tank to put them in during winter periods
u should name the aligator gar specks since it got a small problem with its eye or toothy since u say they are a toothy criter
I just pump water from my hot tub into my Pond. Seems to work. I keep loosing fish though. I guess im not pumping enough.
Hot tub water will kill fish
Why you dont buy a pond heater like rawwfishing ?
Nice bro
If i habe well water how will I feel up a pond without drying out the well
Nice vid
Get an arrowana for the pond
It will be funny to hear but in my country I would have to use a cooler for my pond. Because it's always hot in my country.
What country
It's India brother
