LOL, kind of crazy houses to the exact setup I had in my head, already bought the trough in the same pump with the same Bell Fountainhead and was planning on duckweed! Bravo Edit: also just bought that plant basket too 🤭
digging your setup, the ring around duckweed and wheel barrel filter. Just one suggestion, add some Sagittaria subulata in the whisky barrel for additional filtration.
The anti splash 2x4 was pure genius and aesthetically pleasing to boot....I just wonder if the Alabama heat and humidity would cause me a problem with algae if I built one.
Lord Monkey Boy thank you! It may be an issue. But I’m sure it’s nothing some googling can’t cure. I’m not really big on adding chemicals. But I’ve got a nice circle of life going on. Fish are eating up algae and it seems like the bags of charcoal and barley are helping keep the water crystal clear.
Plant pot waterfall, sorry I'm trying to build a pond right now looking for idea and came across yr channel. Nice setup. But yea just wondering how did u get that pot waterfall, did u make it yourself?
The barrel is from a hardware store (Home Depot), and the waterfall liner is from Amazon, but it’s not available from the same seller anymore. If you google barrel liner spillway it will come up.
Hello! The liner is a big rectangle liner from Amazon. I cut it in to two thin rectangles for the wall and then a stretched out circle for the bottom. It’s held together with pond liner tape and attached to the trough with industrial strength double sided tape. I’ve swapped this out for Flex Seal (not the spray) and it’s a much cleaner look.
Hey mate, this is a really good set up! I want to do something like this myself. Do I need to line the galvanized trough in pond liner? Or are there other methods without using pond liner.
Sammie Escobedo hello! You can google barrel liner with spillway. I cut a small piece of the barrel out to fit the spillway. And made sure my pump was strong enough :)
What is use in this? Is it a pond liner? I can't find anyone else who did this and or how to do this. How do you put the pond liner into the stock tank?
I believe I got mine from Amazon. Search for barrel liner with spillway. You may have to cut a small part of the barrel to make it fit perfect. And make sure your pump is strong enough 👍🏽
vjperalta1 thanks for the response. I like the setup, but it would be cool if you replaced that waterfall board with a nice piece of driftwood or a piece of slate.
Raj gharti hi, the fountain has a box filter with some bio balls and other media, the pump up to the barrel has a layer of media and the barrel/elephant ear plant has a ton of roots to catch crud :)
Thanks for the reply dude😁 I'm way too interested in these stuffs but sad thing is I can't get any materials like the tank you have so still planning what to have . I'm planning on having huge water drums for keeping goldfishes..... lets see😁
Hello! The pond liner was cut to shape, then I used pond tape to assemble it inside the trough. I folded the top edge over, then used heavy duty 3m double sided adhesive tape to get it to stick to the sides.
@@vjperalta1 Awesome job, I was thinking of putting the pond liner over the edge and using crocodile clips to hold in place. I will deffo have a net over the top so I’ll be using the clips anyways for that, but you given me an alternative idea. It looks really neat and tidy :)
I see you have ranchus outside. Do you bring them in during the winter?. I have 2 ranchus. I keep them indoors. I would like to put them in a pond for the summer but am scared in case they die if the temperature drops at night.
PAULA Rowe depends on how cold it gets. Google says ranchus don’t tolerate temps below 60°F. Unfortunately these fish didn’t last until winter. A bird came and ate them. Whether you decide to put them outside or not, make sure they are protected from predators.
@@vjperalta1 thats a shame the birds came and ate them ,thats sad .Ihave an outdoor pond with shubunkins they are very hardy. I think i may make a barrel pond with a cover and put a heater in there for night time ,then bring them back in the house at the end of august.
SO SORRY ABOUT THE BIRD!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I have to have netting or no fish and the netting is ugly so Im not happy about that. I just got som Ranchus and didnt know they dont tolerate the cold. Good to know!
@@touchwood108 yes, I have 3 mosquito fish and a handful of feeder gold fish :) I keep the water level high, they have plant cover to hide and a net for protection against future predators.
kimuseni down to two koi. They are thriving though. If I can add more filtration, I’d like to add more fish. If I had the room, I’d build one like yours!
vjperalta1 I used a Laguna 1200 Pressure-Flo with a small 750gph Pump and it works great on small stick tank. I have a video of it. But i wish I would have spent the extra $50 and got the upgraded version with ultra-violet light
Esperanza Enríquez Rodríguez Lo compré en una tienda de suministros agrícolas. Esto es de lo que beben los caballos y las vacas. I bought it from a farm supply store. This is what horses and cows drink from.
Jake Lee thanks! It's a flexible pond liner that I got off of amazon. I cut it in to sections and reassembled it using pond liner tape and attached it to the inner rim with industrial 3m adhesive tape.
I did a backyard pond using a stock tank but three years later it began to rust. I contacted the company and was told that since I live in California I'm near the ocean and the salt water caused the problem. I don't use salt water in my tank and I'm over 2 hours away from the ocean. I don't know what to do. I painted the outside of the tank to look like a brick wall. My options are to get a new tank and pay to have it sealed (over $400) then repaint the outside. Or to try and figure out how to get a pond liner hooked up. Any suggestions?
Lisa Heimbruch I got a huge pond liner, cut it up in to panels and used pond liner tape to seal it up. Careful measuring/cutting and clean surfaces are key. I have no problems with rust or leaks. Depending on the shape/size, you can also google custom box-welded liners. If I can think of anything else I'll add :)
vjperalta1 thank you this really helps me and inspired me to build a pond and was just wondering about the filtration. By the way beautiful pond and fish please make more videos like this.
YVONNE BRUCE for this I had a pond liner from Amazon, cut it in to a couple pieces to fit, then used pond tape to secure the seams together. The I used industrial strength 3m two sided tape to hold the top to the inside of the trough. Recently, I hade a raccoon invade my pond and eat all of my fish. I took the opportunity to redo everything. I used mureatic acid to strip the galvanization, then applied a couple coats of liquid Flex Seal. Not the spray can version. The liquid version is good/pet safe. Good luck! 👍🏽
@@vjperalta1 Your tank looks great! I'm looking into doing something very similar and I am really glad you mentioned Liquid Flex Seal to line your trough. I wanted to know how the Liquid Flex Seal is doing for you and what type of fish you decided to place in your trough pond?
Zyrus and Sheryl Pugal it’s been 6 months and the Liquid Flex Seal is holding up. 4 coats of black. I have a couple koi and they are doing great. I’ll be doing an updated video when the plants are healthy.
Omg this is the most beautiful pond. I'm a new owner of a goldfish pond and worried that the water is too cold. We have had shitty weather for days. Currently the water is 11 degrees Celsius (51,8 °F). Does that fit or should I bring the little ones in?
Châu Trần Minh yes! The water never freezes over here in Southern California, but it can get to 40F on winter nights. The fish do fine. They just slow down and don’t eat as much 🙂
Lovely set up. Have just dug one in the back garden that is prolly a little too deep and dark at the bottom - the fine stone at the bottom is a great idea and probably acts as a kind of filter too ?

I love this pond set up. I maybe watched it over 20x. 😂
Great idea to control the plant cover. 👍🐠
I love how they trail along swimming from one side to the other 🥰😍
I love this set up I subscribed
fab love it
You should set the metal tank on wood pallets for 4x4s , because humidity will be trapped under the tank and rust
Didn’t think about that... maybe if I ever do a 100% water change I’ll throw some planks under to keep the air flowing.
@@vjperalta1 yes , that's a good idea . Even if you prop it up on cinder blocks and spray the bottom with wd40
very nice pond. I just subscribed to your channel. check out my 1000 gallon pond on my channel cheers...
bad ass
LOL, kind of crazy houses to the exact setup I had in my head, already bought the trough in the same pump with the same Bell Fountainhead and was planning on duckweed! Bravo
Edit: also just bought that plant basket too 🤭
Very beautiful. How did you make those floating rings
kimuseni I made them using .25 inch tubing from Home Depot and a barbed adapter 🙂
vjperalta1 thanks fir the tip. I’m going to Home Depot now and building one for my pond
I wanna start a pond like yours but idk where to begin with and how do you keep the water cold in this heat man
Hindsight I would have started with a Rubbermaid stock tank. These galvanized tanks are hard to line.
@@vjperalta1 can u upload tank setup video.
digging your setup, the ring around duckweed and wheel barrel filter. Just one suggestion, add some Sagittaria subulata in the whisky barrel for additional filtration.
Thomas Nguyen had to google it, but looks like it’s readily available. Thanks for the reply!
This is outstanding well done
bro tell me your filtration
I have some bio balls and 3 layers of filter media/foam in the fountain box and the plants in the barrel/waterfall.
Where do you get duckweed though 🤔
OfferUp! People usually give it away since it overcrowds ponds.
@@vjperalta1 wow crazy!!! Thanks so much!!
It looks very clean and healthy, I wish u the best of luck
The anti splash 2x4 was pure genius and aesthetically pleasing to boot....I just wonder if the Alabama heat and humidity would cause me a problem with algae if I built one.

Don't keep it in direct sun light
Put a uv light in.
Where did you get yr plant pot water
???

@@vjperalta1 thanks again I'll look into it, did it I cost over 70
That’s about how much I paid for both the liner and barrel.
How did you get the liner to talk up underneath the edge I just built one of these and the liner looks like crap
I used industrial double sided tape. Put the liner in, folded the top outwards in itself, then against the tape/pond rim.
nice tank
Thats superb i want one lol wher did you buy the bath i cant find 1 anywer
Hi thanks for the comment. I bought everything except the liner and the trough from Home Depot.
Dont think we have them in the uk do we ? Lol thanks for reply anyway i shall keep looking great set up
You may want to try a farm supply store. Good luck!
Great
what did you use to clean pond before you filled with water and fish. Is dish soap ok?
vera book reviews and stuff BeBe I used a pond liner from amazon to line the trough. Just rinsed with water.
SUPERBbbbb
Goals. I always stay away from galvanized tanks but seeing. This makes me want to do it. I just need to figure out how to line it
Hello! This one is lined with a pond liner held up with industrial mounting tape. I’ve since changed it over to food safe flex seal.
Your water looks wonderful.
Where did you get the liner for the 8" Trough and how did you get it to stick to the trough?
Hello! The liner is a big rectangle liner from Amazon. I cut it in to two thin rectangles for the wall and then a stretched out circle for the bottom. It’s held together with pond liner tape and attached to the trough with industrial strength double sided tape. I’ve swapped this out for Flex Seal (not the spray) and it’s a much cleaner look.
Hey mate, this is a really good set up! I want to do something like this myself. Do I need to line the galvanized trough in pond liner? Or are there other methods without using pond liner.
You need some kind of liner whether it’s pond liner or flex seal (not the spray). I’ve had flex seal for a few years and no issues.
If you want to avoid it completely buy one of the Rubbermaid troughs.
Fish name please ..it's so beautiful ❤️
These are Ranchu, Oranda and Ryukin goldfish 😊
Very nice..

Update video ? Would love to see how it’s doing now
kimuseni once all the plants come back from being dormant. For sure 👍🏽 a lot has changed.
What is use in this? Is it a pond liner? I can't find anyone else who did this and or how to do this. How do you put the pond liner into the stock tank?
shirley williams I bought a huge pond liner from Amazon, cut it in to pieces and reassembled it to fit with pond liner tape.
Very nice.
Wow beautiful where did u get he liner for the wine barrel??
I believe I got mine from Amazon. Search for barrel liner with spillway. You may have to cut a small part of the barrel to make it fit perfect. And make sure your pump is strong enough 👍🏽
What kind of plant is that on top in the water fall part ?
Abel Casanova Alocasia Elephant Ear 🙂
What filters are you using in this set-up?
I have some bio balls and 3 layers of filter media/foam in the fountain box and the plants in the barrel/waterfall.
What kind of tubing are you using to keep the floating plants corralled?
Agr414 it's .25" tubing from the irrigation isle of Home Depot. They have the connectors there too.
vjperalta1 thanks for the response. I like the setup, but it would be cool if you replaced that waterfall board with a nice piece of driftwood or a piece of slate.
Agr414 I took the board out and now it just flows.
Looks freaking awesome nice job
Is that 2 by 4 completely untreated wood or at least sealed completely with a non toxic sealant to aquatic creatures??
dude you dont hav any filtration sysytem for purifying water? i can only see water pumped up and again flowed downwards.
Raj gharti hi, the fountain has a box filter with some bio balls and other media, the pump up to the barrel has a layer of media and the barrel/elephant ear plant has a ton of roots to catch crud :)

No raccoons. Just some birds. We have a small net over it now.
What do you use for filtration?
jorge martinez the fountain has a filter box at the base and the waterfall area has the water being pumped through filter medium.

If you have fancy goldfish you should whatch them more closely, but they would be fine because I get colder temps and they are still thriving.
lucky shubunkins,
Beautiful
how many gal
The stock tank is 300 gallons if full to the top.
How is the lining held up
@jdssurf I used heavy duty double sided tape from Home Depot.
Think I'd have to see it. So that's behind the top edge of the liner sticking it to the metal?
Can they live in the winter when the weather so cool?
Châu Trần Minh yes! The water never freezes over here in Southern California, but it can get to 40F on winter nights. The fish do fine. They just slow down and don’t eat as much 🙂

hotstixx it does catch a lot of poop and waste. Also a contrast to the black liner 👍🏽
