NEW NANO TANK SETUP! *i made a mistake
your pump on your mechanical filter is going to get clogged way to fast , put all your bio media on the bottom and one or two layers of mechanical at the very top and then once they clog, hose them down and redo ... all you needed is 3 bags of lava rock .... and 2 layers of mechanical and its a done deal
Amazing transformation 😮😮
Thank you!
Great videos and so informative👍👍, I have watched this one several times and considering building an identical pond soon. Is there anything you would change if you were doing the build again? Thanks…
Great video !......I think its probably the best I have seen on this subject. Very impressed !!
Thank you!
Did a pond like this 1 year ago. All was well frogs already…now pea soup. Little miss got 2 fish. Should I put the plants in with just gravel? ( solar pump filter with same set up as you)🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, could try putting plants in just gravel to help with excess nutrients? Whats the sun situation like? Is the pond in full sun? And have you still got fish in there?
@@GingerFishyOfficial 2 fish in shade??
Bro put the lights in front 😂😂😂
Bro thought if I put them at the back when he was sitting next to the pond the light would be shining in his eyes, but yeah ideally they would be more hidden.. I did try to fit them under the top edge of the pond, but they wouldn’t fit… 😎
5:25 that was so weird seeing a garbage can in a box…. I’ve always seen it the other way…
I can’t believe I hadn’t subscribed to you. Your diy pond and filter gave me the idea for my pond! Looks amazing!!
Thank you, bro! 👊
So how does that filter water I don't understand?
The water is pumped from the pond into the bottom of the filter, it then rises up the through the planter, which is filled with gravel, which provides surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow, this beneficial bacteria will convert ammonia (which is toxic to fish) to nitrite (which is also toxic to fish) to nitrate (which is only toxic in high concentrations). The plants that will be planted in the filter will soak up the nitrates before they reach toxic levels (they will also soak up ammonia directly), and therefore keeping the water biologically safe for fish. Whilst this is all going on, physical waste will settle in the bottom of the filter, which the plants can also tap into. It’s not the perfect filter design as I didn’t include a clean-out valve to remove the waste that will build up at the bottom. But I have since made a better filter that does include a clean out valve. You can see it in the filter I’ll built in this video: ruclips.net/video/oFc0oT5Zhks/видео.htmlsi=73FtmGbyShQzb9n4 Hope that helps!
Thank you for helping wildlife, but if a turtle gets in there he might drown. There's no gradual slope for escape.
Hi there, we don’t have turtles here, but good call, I should have probs mentioned that for people in areas that do. I do agree though that a gradual slope is probably better for a wildlife pond generally, even if you don’t have turtles.. in this case though I thought with the pond being so small I didn’t want to take up too much space with a ramp. 🌿🐢
Another great Video and gives me an idea for a pending bog filter. How do you stop the slugs destroying your Hostas? I have terrible trouble with this in my garden.
Thank you! It’s the first time I’ve had hostas in my garden, but I’m hoping the resident toad, and hopefully any future frogs will help keep the slug population down!
You are remarkably resourceful, knowledgeable and practical! Just when it seems you have everything covered you add more layers and useful information for your followers to think about. Glad you have the heron problem fully covered too. Again in a very practical way. Using readily available materials. Thanks for these great videos! Lots to think about.
Thank you! Yeah, there’s lots to think about when it comes to ponds, that’s for sure!
A unique example of packing a video with useful information and beautifully timed video. Not a wasted moment. No padding. No head and shoulders smug shot. Congratulations! Subscribed. One slight worry would be herons perching on the side. I lost all my goldfish to a greedy heron. Even had to rescue the bird when it got caught under my netting! 😇
Thank you! Yeah, I try to provide as much info as I can, even though I am still learning myself. Sorry to hear the heron got your fish, they can for sure be a big issue, my dad’s pond got emptied by a heron also..
This is a fantastic video, really well done! 🐸
Thank you! 👊
Looking amazing ❤
Thank you! 😊
i put fish tank heaters in the filter i use the metal ones
Hi, I get mixed information about using a heater or not over winter. I have a Blagdon Affinity Grand Octagon pond, it's 708ltr, it's a raised pond. Some people say let the fish go dormant helps them grow better. I'm new to ponds, this winter will be the first winter. Ive got goldfish koi and a weather loach in it. What heater should I use? Do I need one? I've seen a heater that does a 600+litre aquarium so wondered if that was any good? Thank you
Looks so awesome. Where do you get so many aquatic plants??? Excited to see the update later on!
Thank you! Luckily I have a couple of really good pond shops fairly close to me that always have plenty of plants to choose from!
The pups are always so good at supervising ehh? lol You shoulda kept the sink and hung it on the wall and made a waterfall out of it😀😀👍👍 Super fun project Ginger Fishy…..we hope you get some lovely little amphibious creatures in there to enjoy and observe….for sure you will with that inviting area you’ve made em!!
Thank you! Yeah, I do think that sink is just screaming out to be some sort of water feature! 🌿👊
Nice one. Keep it up. viewer from the Philippines🇵🇭
Thank you!
wow!! great job man, beautiful plants and love your channel, very simple and creative ..just thinking during heavy rains how would you get rid of excessive water?
Thankyou! Yeah, the edge of the pond has little grooves around it, which I think is for overflow, and I’m hoping any excess water can be soaked up by the plants around the pond. I’ll see how it goes though. I’m actually just in the process of adding an overflow pipe to my big pond that I built last year, which I’ll be showing in the 1 year update video.
☺
Chicken content!
i love this channel and all your projects. there is only 1 downfall and its a huge downfall by the way.. there just isnt enough videos 😉 please keep them coming alot more often mate.. GREAT WORK AGAIN!!!
Thank you, mate! I shall try!! 😁👊
I like the mini bog filter -- thanks for showing how you did that!
Thank you, I’m glad it was helpful! 👍
Love how natural you made that area 👌 would love to do something like this for my backyard one day
Thank you! You should do it!! 👊
That is absolutely stunning! I love it!
Thank you! 😊
Lovely build!
Thank you, mate! How’s your ponds doing this season?
looks amazing cant wait to build a wildlife pond in the future!
Thank you!
Enjoyed watching you, on how this all came together. Any other life form in the pond that you have noticed?
Thank you! Just a few water bugs and snails currently. Would love to see some newts in there one day though!
Looks really good, love the way you show it step-by-step 👍🏻
Thank you!
If I could have one of those in a small New York city apartment!
Great informative video. I was nailed to watching everything you shared here 😂. Great job 👏 I was wondering though, I've got an enclosed fenced garden: if I did something like that, how would wildlife get into my garden for such a pond 😮? Or wouldn't it 🤔? Many thanks for giving me ideas, particularly as to what plants (I've never heard of 😅) I might be advised to invest in ❤
Hi there! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! Yeah, if there’s no gap under the fence some wildlife will struggle to find the pond.. obviously dragonfly and birds will be able to enjoy it still.. I know some people try to leave a gap somewhere along the fence line to help wildlife move around, luckily for me there is a gap under my gate, so the toad must have come in there. You never though, a bird might drop off a bit of frogspawn for you!! Yeah, I think all the plants I used are either evergreen or perennial, apart from the water lettuce which won’t survive the winter here in the UK, so I’ll have to remove it when the temps start to get too low. 😊
@GingerFishyOfficial Wow- that's such a GREAT amount of GOOD information 👌. Thank you. I know I've got a frog 🐸 in my garden (somewhere): him must have hid in the flowers/plants I had in my old koi pond at our old place (16 years ago). So despite the amount of renovations I've had, carried out to the garden areas, it's a miracle he's still alive. You should have heard him in Feb/April calling for a mate 😀. So another reason: to encourage the dragonflies back. We used to have quite a few, but the last couple of years, not so much. Anyway, many thanks for your prompt response and further suggestions: really helps 👍
Love this. Your videos are, without exception, excellent. Please keep them up!
Thank you, mate. I really appreciate that! 👊
Learnd alot👌👍
Where do you buy your watercress? Pond supplier or supermarket?
I got mine at a pond supplier 🌿
I had a bizarre experience last winter. I went out to water plants in my greenhouse and noticed that the goldfish in my pond were up at the surface looking for food. I threw some flakes to them but they didn't touch them. I decided to remove the food rather than have it rot and only then did I realize there was a cm of the clearest ice I have ever seen covering the pond! By the next day it had gone. I wouldn't worry about heating a goldfish pond in UK 2024. It's not like we ever have real winters any more!
Hi thank you for letting me know
can you please tell me how to get hold of the P2superseal paint that you have used to paint your pond?
Hi there, I think it may have been discontinued unfortunately, as I can’t seem to find it for sale anywhere.. I got it on eBay, but no sign of it on there anymore. It’s annoying because I can’t find any similar products that are completely non-toxic, like the P2 Superseal.
for the filter pipe that goes behind to the two sides, did you insulate that?
Hi there, yeah, I did that as part of my winter preparation. Here’s a link to the video, if you want to check it out! ruclips.net/video/pYNtSZb3pXA/видео.htmlsi=2anKgFVANlba32ll
As someone who keeps freshwater tropical fish in an aquarium, and has no experience of a garden setup at all, these and your mini pond videos have been a great help in giving me ideas of how to set up something outside. Can you or anyone else advise re essential reading for setting up outdoor electrical supply for ponds or other RUclipsrs that have great vids on the subject?
What in the trailer park is going on?
any chance in future videos if you do more DIY ponds can you also put prices up. and can you say how much this pond cost you mate..
What is the cost of this whole Project, and did you ever change your mind about adding a substrate into the bottom of the pond?
I have no interest in keeping fish! Your enthusiasm and energy is compulsive veiwing. Thank you for a great tutorial.
Wow thats an amazing collection and gives me hope for my Balcony pond ideas
Thank you! And good luck with balcony pond!!
Hey I am gearing up to build one of these in my backyard. All above ground but I am going to use a "pool pond" instead. Specifically the one that you can see into from the front. I am going to use the same steps you took here, insulating and adding siding. Any tips?
Can’t really think of too much. Just take your time, and try and make sure you’re keeping your cuts nice and square. Good luck with your build! Being able to see in through the front will be very cool!!
Tienes problemas con agua verde ?
No Green water, but I have had a bit of an issue with string algae. All good now, and i’ll be showing the action I took in my 1 year update video in a couple of months.
@@GingerFishyOfficial thanks
Something you might have better luck with is a 1500 watt bucket heater
How do you clean (scum from pond) pipe that's buried under gravel? Will you have to remove all the gravel to access it?
Yeah, there’s no easy way to clean it out unfortunately. But if you check out my video ‘DIY Patio Pond with Bog Filter, I show a step by step of a different bog filter design, which includes a clean out valve. I’ll link the video below if you want to check it out! ruclips.net/video/oFc0oT5Zhks/видео.htmlsi=mpxb0Uq_RxHHMTro
