      If you need more help with bio filtering look at duckweed... BUT be careful as it spreads quick and can destroy ponds. Its pretty much Chaetomorpha for fresh water. A quick & "easy" way to remove bio mass without removing bacteria. Good for compost and chickens :P

    I love the fact that u show every step even when you make a mistake or something doesnt go as planned..people are saying its sloppy work but reality is nothing can be done perfectly and whats more important than things being done perfectly is learning from The experience, and by not leaving out these steps you allow yourself and everyone else that views this to learn and that in my opinion is the best part!

    I actually like that he rushed initially, and ended up with a mess that he had to dismantle and restart. That was a good lesson to us - before we build - on what NOT to do. The job is such an enormous amount of work that doing it correctly on the first try would be important to me!
    The end result is a beautiful pond, which I'm sure he and his family will enjoy for years.

    When your using a hole saw on something like 4x4’s it helps to drill some holes in the diameter of the circle to have a place for saw dust to escape, it helps prevent overheating and stops the bit from choking up.

  •  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Personally for those who have NEVER had or cared for a pond, this one is great. It is large enough to stock it with some nice plants and fish but is small enough to deal with problems when they arise usually related to water quality. This will be a great learning tool without overwhelming it's owner unlike a large dream pond that could become very frustrating to maintain causing them to abandon it.

  • @me_oh_Mi

    OH WOW! what a brilliant way to add plants to the pond without using up space in the pond (where fish can't swim past) and most importantly keeping the fish from eating away at the plants.

    I would like a quick explanation in a future video of water flow throughout, pond,pumps,skimmers, bio filters and back again, and explain what each inner compartment does and how it all works together. thank you!

    • @justinbiggins3444
      @justinbiggins3444 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Let's start with the pond itself. The first compartment that he builds is the mechanical skimmer which he's placed about 4 inches from the water table to the wood trim. Once the water gets to a level where the pipe is, it'll naturally flow into the container. Later in the video, he's cut 3 or 4 filters on his table saw that act as a barrier to the pump so that any leaves, branches, etc will get stuck within those porous layers without stopping the flow of water. The debris free water is then pumped from the osae pump to the waterfall bucket, or the one that's shaped like an L as clean water to help create more water faster, this creating a larger waterfall. There's an additional pump that's located directly in the pond that goes from the pond to the filtration system, or those two blue buckets with holes in them. These act as another layer of filtration, this time a lot more fine. That water is then dispersed through the holes and into the biological container which is the red lava rock surrounding the blue buckets. This is where all the healthy water cleaning bacteria and algae live. Later in the video, he connects that container (the one with the red rocks) to the water flow container (the one that does not have a cover and looks like an L) so that once the red Rock container reaches a certain height it overflows into waterfall container, doubling down on the waterfall production. Clean water is pumped into the pond via the waterfall, and the whole cycle is renewed

    Ok.... maybe it not up to some peoples (their words) pro build, but hand made by himself, and a damn fine job in my opinion. Thank you for sharing your vid bro. I along with alot of other people appreciate the time and effort you put into it. It obviously is something special because I find myself commenting on it a year later. Normally I don't engage on any vids that are that old, but when I read the comment about Americans using too many tools I fell out laughing. Followed by the comments about it not being natural enough I just smdh, I bet the fish and plants love it. All this negativity for a guy who broke his back and genuinely tried to share his experience, when a crapload of youtubers get hundreds of thousands of likes for throwing some janky assed above ground pvc framed pool up and filling it with giant pacus and catfish. In short (I know too late) nice job man a Giant thumbs up from me!!!

    I don't know how much you would object to it or how permanent you want this pond to be; however I would highly recommend deconstructing some of the wooden components and sealing the wood or even staining it for longevity.

    I built a 5’ deep, 6000 koi pond. 4” PVC, vortex Centrifugal force pre filter, 300 gallon bio filter.
    upper water fall was veggie filter. I had 2 1/3 horse power in line pumps.
    Kind of like your pond but I used concrete on all the walls of the hole to avoid erosion or collapse. I used a floating swimming pool cover as my underlayment and then a pond liner.
    My koi fish went from 4” to 18-25” & the water was clear. Came out nice.
    They make threaded bulkheads for ponds you can use rather than those connectors & pond liner technique you used.
    Looks good, man

    I was like Yea Hole in ground, cover with something to keep water in said hole, Add a Harbor Freight pump to move water, throw in fish (and prime) and done.
    This reminded me we as fish keepers can make amazing ponds that can be perfect eco systems. I will get more ideas and from there get this project started. Thank You again for a great video.
