    Goldfish are known to be very "dirty" fish: you can't over-filter their water. Great job!

    First time seeing this project, looks incredible! haven't seen many indoor ponds look good. you have done a great job making it look natural with all the anubias and pothos. the only thing i would suggest would be to add some surface agitation, bubbles from sponge filters do very little to aerate the water btw the white ebay filters often sell under the name Sun-Sun if anyone if interested.. they are quality filters for the money.

    A surface skimmer actually goes a long way towards keeping it looking clear. It stops stuff building up on the surface which lowers the oxygen level and encourages algae growth. Annoyingly no one makes skimmers for small ponds though so you have to DIY it, or use a large aquarium one.

    I breed goldfish specifically orandas and i got a couple of these 300gal. My filtration is just spongefilters(lots of them) i got very low nitrates and other toxins in the water very low by doing water chages(30% every 2 days). Also just placed lots of bio media ad plants within the stock tank. Also Changed the drainage into a pvc setup to be drained to the grass for easy water changes. I keep my stock tanks like this is because im constantly breeding and selling the fish. This pond setup absolutely blows me away its so amazing! Your fish are very happy living there.

This is an innovative set-up, you are enormously creative and your fish are fortunate to be cared by you. Also, thank you for being so detailed about the products you use and where you acquired them - especially the grow light. 👍👍👍Well done! This video is quite a treasure. Urban dwellers are always seeking to benefit from viewing videos like yours which show how you can have a pond when you may not have the outside space or may not want it outside because of predators. Personally, I would do this in my sunroom as I live near a a wildlife reserve and there are too many predators to contend with for a pond in my yard.

    very interesting set up. I like the way you have the pathos around the edges. Looks really good. I do not see any gfi for safety. That is a worry. Recently I got a very pretty female betta. I am very happy with her and she is in my community tank, 37 gallons and no one bothers her. Pretty heavily planted for hiding. I have a hard time with being on a carpet. Looks nice but carpet?? All in all I am very impressed. I have a six hundred gallon stock tank sunk in the ground outside and my gold fish live there in the good weather. In winter we have a tremendous amount of rain and wind living on the Oregon coast so I move them to my one hundred gallon on the covered deck.

    With all that filtration you shouldn't have any problems with nitrates or ammonia. Nice job. Yea, no heater necessary for goldfish or koi. The bettas on the other hand should be at about 72 F minimum. Or room temperature. That's a java fern in the betta tank on the rock. You could stock a lot more fish in the 300 once the filter has seasoned. The 3 canister filters will do the job along with the plants and aquaponics. Algae is good in a pond. Just not hair algae , can be unsightly. Regular algae makes pond sides look more natural and feeds off the fish waste. Keep it up and keep learning.

    You are edging closer towards low fish density aquaponics. For a flood/drain gravel based system without solids removal... you can feed about 13g per square meter of veggies growing per day. I just have a single 25W water pump for my whole system ($21 per year in power). A 150gal Rubbermaid tank like yours with two 50gal stock tanks (same thing too) filled with lava rock and clay pebbles. Growing lettuce, kale, tomatoes, swiss chard, etc., etc. All running off of just 8 1yr old gold fish getting fed 4 to 6 times a day when the water gets around 75deg F. I try to keep the nitrates above 40ppm but have seen in many times higher and the gold fish were like honey badgers.

    Amazing setup, but wanted to say that those UV lights on the SunSun filters tend to literally destroy the filter from the inside, if the UV lights are left on for long periods of time, it will begin to eat away at the plastic trays since its such a low-grade plastic, other than that issue SunSuns are imo the best bang for your buck, I personally have a 704b on my 75 gallon and the water is always crystal clear.
