    I loved the underwater footage, it looked like something from a real pond/river. What youve done is really beautiful and good environment for the fish (and the greenhouse for other animals too).

    Helpful tip: you can cut holes in the empty pots you flipped upside down to raise your potted plants. This will allow fish to swim into them giving more space for them and they will also more than likely lay eggs in there as well. Depending on the fish.

My pump is a floating kind because I enjoy the splashing sounds of the water. Great greenhouse setup btw. Very informative vid overall 👍😄

    Hi. I’m a new subscriber. What a great video. I live in an apartment now and miss having a pond. This is perfect. I have a large covered patio with two skylights with two unused GFCI outlets. My condo rules say I can have a 25 gal. Aquarium. The don’t mention inside our outside. They are really worried about West Nile virus, though. Would the filtration and the fish you suggested take care of mosquitos?

  • @joshuawells8197

    I have been viewing your videos for over a year and am highly motivated to do a deck pond, or even larger, getting a large basin from Tractor Supply and doing what your videos show us. My fear/concern is this: my home has no level area as it's built on a rock, literally. If I leveled an area, could a basin which is 30 ' in deep (meant for cattle in the field) be above ground, w/o any digging, surrounded by a large amount of stone? I' like to get your input before I buy this basin.

      @annethornton9938 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm guessing there's only room for the one goldfish. I can't tell the size of the pond, since it's so densely planted, but one goldfish needs at least 30 gallons to grow into, and way more if it's a comet or common. I do wonder how the goldfish is getting along so well with the minnows; I know their environmental needs are the same, I just wonder why they aren't food yet ;)

  • @SanBaoWellness
    @SanBaoWellness 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This looks great. I’ve never done this before, and was inspired enough to try it myself. Somehow, I screwed it up. :( I got the same large pot, bought a few aquatic plants at the local hardware/garden center. Ordered a solar filter which isn’t here yet. Thought I’d add a substrate to bottom and add a few bottom plants like I saw in another video of yours... looked simple enough. I rinsed it in another pot, added it to bottom and slowly added water. Now I have muddy water (like coffee with a little creamer added). Did I do something wrong? Do I need to start over and omit the substrate? Anyone?
