This past week I linked up with some friends to build this awesome DIY pond down in Florida! It was a lot of fun and I think the results are incredible. Although we worked together, I think this could easily be done as a solo operation or with a different group of people. I want to know what you think, though. Let me know in the comments!
@SerpaDesign Tanner, you set the standards on building outstanding water features/ habitats, for all manner of creatures! This is now my favorite build- of anyone's ever. Until you do the next!🤣 Keep up the good work dear!
Incredible vision, design and build. Amazing memories, friendships and definitely laughs! I will enjoy this for years to come! Thank you endlessly Dan, Greg, Nate and Tanner.
It's so awesome that people are flying you and a film crew (welcome Nate) to do installations. Maybe you'll do something at a botanical garden, aquarium, or zoo one day.
TANNER. NO WAY. I actually am in the process of building a pond for my painted turtles out of two stock tanks! One is buried and the other small one will be above with a spillway!! Im so excited to watch this because I've been on my own for the whole process so far. This will be a great way to get ideas and some instruction for my project! My bigger pond is already buried, and im getting the pump set up for the spillway one right now.. just not sure how to make sure it spill correctly yet. Ive never found a video so unexpectedly relevant haha, thanks for making this!!
Even though i have no idea about landscaping or building ponds I still love watching all of these videos its just so calming and onistly makes me learn 1 or 2 things each video
Wow quite a few of those moments looked hernia-inducing. I hope everyone is okay (albeit possibly nothing more than a bit sore with a few scrapes surely) and the whole thing turned out beautifully as always!
Sounds like someone got their groove back ;) What a great build; this project in particular really feels like one of your miniature manufactured landscape terrarium builds scaled up to the human aspect ratio, or I suppose in this case turtle aspect ratio. The channel has come a long way, I would include SerpaDesign on a list of replacements to broadcast programs on networks such as HGTV. I'm so glad you are able to showcase this talent you have been developing throughout your life, and that you genuinely want to share not just the content of your creations, but the knowledge and experience you have devoted so much of your time and self in pursuit of. Para-socialism goes both ways; I enjoy your channel because of what you choose to present, and 'chat' can be a hive-mind of self-absorbed individual demands, finding and maintaining a healthy balance is incredibly difficult, I think you're handling it well but hey, don't forget to breathe sometimes. Take care and peace Serpa-Dude.
1:04 felling a tree with a bunch of competent and handy folks and it still almost hits two people. From my own experience and hearing from others, it never ceases to amaze me how hard it is to fell a tree safely.
I really appreciate your speaking about difficulties, as well as various ways of solving problems. "Incredible stump". Indeed! Your imagination never ceases to amaze me.
Long time subscriber but haven't comented that much. It make me so happy to see you building bog filters. Totally in line with nature. I spend a lot of time getting koi keepers to understand how awsome they are for pristine water quality. Your execution of it is as expectet. Great work Tanner!
OMG, my favorite people all in a video .. I can't wait 🍿!! I need to find some tubs like this for my above ground pond, I'm trying to my make for our 1 turtle 🥰🐢! This looks amazing 🤩!!
Tanner, your channel is a gift. You have inspired hundreds if not thousands of people to develope a passion for landscaping and terrerium building and you teach good, sustainable values at that. Because of your work I have been inspired to build a pond and eventually a cohesive, healthy landscape in my currently shabby back yard. I have been watching your videos and many others and have been deep in my notebooks planning every detail. I will dedicate my pond to you when its done!
Im really excited to see this. I have a pond I built when I moved in and it has a little waterfall with a pump in the bottom of the pond. I have to constanly clean the pump so I want to enlarge the pond and incorporate a bog. This helped me envision it better and gives me motivation. As always I love your content.
This pond is really beautiful. I enjoyed watching Dan's video and Greg's preview video too, I appreciate getting to know Charlie a little bit through your videos. Thank you.
Lime stone also keeps the ph from dropping, high Ph in the beginning of a pond build, but later it will be crashing and the limestone is awesome to counteract that drop.
@@charlie_moorcroft I live in Palmetto. I've been to the outside edge of the Everglades. Next time, I'm going to explore because that does sound so fun!! ☺️
Inspiring video. I am just starting almost from scratch to landscape my entire yard. I had planned on taking advantage of a shady corner for a woodland garden. From your example, I see I need a water feature.
Oh to be an animal owned by tanner. The plants really bring everything together for me, everything seems so bare and sparse until all the green is added. Not to mention the colorful rocks and darker mulch!
Semi exotic waterfowl, gamebirds and doves look fantastic in setups like this, as well, plants can be a bit more tricky and the have to be full enclosed.
The result is really beautiful! Watching the whole process from start to finish is very informative and inspiring. You all did a great job, even the turtles approve!
I love how this turned out! You're right, I would have no idea this was made of stock ponds :0 Also, the editing on this video is amazing. I really love the pacing of everything.
So interesting and amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing this collaboration. I’ve always said when you’re doing what you love, it isn’t work. It’s obvious you all are doing what you love.
Oh my goodness you are just so talented in what you love. A true Master artist in your own field. I have never watched one of your videos that didn’t make me want exactly what I just seen thank you so much Tanner. This was just Beautiful
Very beautiful! I’ve built a few turtle ponds. I wish I had used more logs. I focused on rocks! Beautiful rocks! I love them. We buy them by the pound or pallet here! But now that I’m doing my own yard…LOGS and rocks!
I got to admit I was a little skeptical when I saw the ponds you were working with prior to starting. Boy was I wrong, it looks amazing! Well done fellas!!
*This is AWESOME. You can no doubt get away with having longer videos though! your content is amazing and I'm sure we would all love to see more detail*
It's crazy that during construction these ponds look terrible but at some point everything comes together and they end up quite easy on the eyes. Great job, the finished product is so far removed from the stock ponds used. A great demonstration of your skills!
Beautiful build!!! I hope one day to be able to build something similar when we are not Renting. Please get footage of the pair in the future if you can!! We'd love to see them in the cleared up established pond
How much does something like this cost? Obviously elminating the need for hiring people to install it for you, just the plants and basins and pumps and that because you got a decent amount from the forest
Chris Lanza did a pretty good job of breaking it down, but yeah depending on size and plant/rock choice price will go up and down but expect a starting cost of around $1,500-3,000.
what a terrific experience. After having to dismantle your own pond I'm sure this went a great way towards filling that mental space for you. Lucky us for being able to come along in the journey.
😎 awesome build and nice again. I hope you can make another naturalistic diy pond that's fixed on a conncrete wall and with high and tiered waterfall...
@@charlie_moorcroft I think we'd all love to help him, Mr. Moorcroft!! Thank you for being a wonderful rescuer yourself! I adore your Cherryhead Tortoises! (I'd love to visit your turtles, but I'm unable to travel-so I'll just be an internet fan!)
Wow you really can make something out of anything!! I am convinced of that... I could only wish to be half as smart, talented, and gifted as you!! 10 out of 10 🌟
You should do a carnivorous plant bog garden for him in the next one. When I lived in NC garden centers always had these huge pitcher plants. I can’t find them out west but I bet garden centers in FL carry the same giant pitcher plants.
I am getting ready to build a indoor massive enclosure for my dwarf caiman. Thinking about doing a big filter for his pond but not sure if I'll go this route or just use a canister filter. Keep changing it around but for sure a 2' waterfall is part of the design. About 15 years ago for my chameleon I build a 2'x2'x4' cage with a 2'x4' complete waterfall on the one side what I had Halloween crabs in the bottom that played in the sandbox and reservoir.
If you look at the pond Tanner built with what looks to be a planter from Costco (I say this because I had bought my lookalike at Costco the year before), mine holds 30 gallons and has vining plants doing all the filter work. Zero electricity in mine, and going strong since 2019/2020 (around the beginning of covid). I didn't manage to catch all the endlers last year, and they populated the pond this spring once temps got back up over 60° F.
This is incredible! Insane! So beautiful! What a wonderful piece of art - and I'm so happy to hear the turtles adapted to it just in the blink of an eye. Great work, Tanner! :) Great work, all of you.

Can I get the name brand of the kind of pump you used. I’m trying to do something similar to y’all’s build for some koi and goldfish
cool
This was such a fantastic experience! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and witnessing your genius. 🐢🐢🐢

Hell yeah doing the heavy lifting 💪🏻

Incredible vision, design and build. Amazing memories, friendships and definitely laughs!
I will enjoy this for years to come!
Thank you endlessly Dan, Greg, Nate and Tanner.
You're a great mentor for these guys.
@@piteusx8440 thanks. It’s a win-win
The design is so perfect in the space.
I'm impressed by how natural it looked at the end.

Yes! He should definitely do more remote projects

Totally agree!
That has got to be one of the most beautiful ponds I have ever seen.

I need to find some tubs like this for my above ground pond, I'm trying to my make for our 1 turtle 🥰🐢!

This gives me hope that someday, I'll have the pond of my dreams to display my bonsai trees. This is totally doable with some creativity!

Stunning! Charlie is a hero and I love his endangered small turtle colonies!
Thanks 😊

charlie is gonna have little baby cute albino snapping turtles
Lucky turtles! Go make babies in the beautiful bog pond. So fantastic. This is my favorite pond build yet!
The pond looks naturally beautiful! Well done Tanner.
Lime stone also keeps the ph from dropping, high Ph in the beginning of a pond build, but later it will be crashing and the limestone is awesome to counteract that drop.
These are the times that you will cherish because they are shared with friends!
That was one of my favorite parts. The friendships. We had fun after hours out looking for wildlife in the Everglades

good that bracing was added , the top cut off part is actually bracing

gotta watch the video but... day five of asking for you to raise a mantis!!
Why cant u raise t urself
I second this
it's not even a long commitment 😭 like full lifespan is a year... after they teach adulthood its max 6 months
@@ghost-fs7th i just think maantis are cool and i wanna see him raise a lotus mantis
@@tomba47 because there are no mantis where i live and im not even allowed to buy stuff without any permission, specifically pets

Inspiration breeds perspiration. I have found that, alot of the time, perspiration breeds innovation.

Six guys hauling in a log…”We added branches.” Epic! 🙌🏻
Came out great I absolutely love it 🙌 I hope you all have a great day and enjoy your weekend 🙋♂️✌️
Very cool Tanner! Nobody could notice that this little piece of jungle started with stocking mini pools!
Thanks for sharing 😎👌
Gorgeous! I can't create anything like this but you've given me some ideas to head for this look in my garden.
Great work in disguising the stock ponds. Loads of inspiration for scaling down to a small pond for small fish and frogs. Thanks for the video!
This is so gorgeous! I love the peaceful sounds of the waterfall. Those turtles are so lucky!
Such a peaceful waterfall, thanks ❤️
Certainly the most naturalistic honeymoon suite I've ever seen!
The long neck turtle I rescued today would love this! Well done guys!❤️🇦🇺
this is gorgeous! I am so proud you came up with this!! can you do a follow-up when we get some albino bebes?
The result is really beautiful! Watching the whole process from start to finish is very informative and inspiring. You all did a great job, even the turtles approve!
Absolutely looks like it’s both natural and been there for years. Beautiful work. Those are some lucky turtles (and hopefully baby turtles to be).
Nice team work! It was beautiful and functional. Congratulations. I wish the turtles a long life. Cristina Pinto, São Paulo, Brazil 👏👏👏🤗❤❤🇧🇷
This is so good! I want to copy this one. Thanks for all the great content, Tanner. Take care.

Looks amazing btw :)
10:55 that incredibly quick snap from the turtle is terrifying
