I have no idea how I found this video and I have no desire to put in a garden pond in my back yard, but for some reason I watched this very intently from start to finish ha. Very nice build and good video.

I never understood why people want to look down at their beautiful fish. I have an aquarium built into the wall above my headboard. 99% you'll never see from above. The bubbles rising to the top put me to sleep

I am Japanese, so sorry if my translation is wrong. It was very helpful. I look forward to seeing more in the future.

Very good!

I placed a four tier plastic vegetable stand into the trash wheelie bin and packed each of the four plastic shelves with media from course sponge at the bottom to fine sponge at the top. When the sponge needs cleaning I simply lift out the plastic vegetable shelf stand and spray the whole thing with a high pressure hose. I also drilled a hole at the bottom of the bin and fitted a drain cap so it makes it easy to drain the dirty water when I begin cleaning.

Sound awesome!! The good thing about DIY filters is they can be completely tailored to your own personal needs 👊

And now all to gether: "As level as possible!" :D

As someone who wants a pond, I found this very helpful, thank you.

Your craftsmanship is top notch, as are your video editing skills. This was entertaining and inspiring. Your attention to detail helped make this a great success.

Makes me want a pond on my patio. Doesn't look difficult thanks to your clear instructions. Thank you.👍 P.S. Just a thought. Slate on the bottom of the pond would look nice and be easy to maintenance.

I meet a gentleman complaining about what was happening to his back yard fish pond. He kept putting new fish in his pond and they would disappear. He thought a neighbor's cat was killing his fish. So, he watched the pond from his house and to his surprise a very large gray crane flew down, and began plucking the fish out of his pond.

Im glad you brought the filter build back.

Wow what a video mate! This has inspired me to build something similar in the future hopefully. Keep up the good work❤

I vote to keep the pond bare bottom. I've had numerous aquariums, and finally did one with bare glass bottom. I loved it, easy maintenance, stayed pristine clean. For decor I used plants in terra cotta pots. And scattered a dozen black beach pebbles around. It had a very Japanese/zen feeling.

Fantastic build! Looking forward to the next step. First time viewer. Liked & subscribed. Looking to do this in my backyard over the next few months.

You did an amazing job sir, you built a wonderfully made pond. I personally wouldn't add any type of substrate, because goldfish love to scavenge for food so they might suck up the substrate and give them some problems. Eventually you will get an algae carpet at the bottom of your pond, and it will look like a grass field, it will grow on your walls as well, but just scrape the sides of your walls about every three months and your pond will look amazing with an algae grass carpet floor. This was a gorgeous build sir, I can't wait to see the further updates of your beautiful pond.

Saved. I look forward to being able to use the basis as this for inspiration for the pond or ponds I intend to build. Thank you for sharing with us.

The construction was on point. The landscaping inside the pond and the filter lacked greatly I think. The look was very sterile. The fish will be able to live there just fine, but it’s just not a spot you would look at and think “how beautiful and natural it looks”.

Excellent video. You make it look so easy. A quality build totally impressed. Just got into fish. Fishtanks and ponds are such lovely things to have. Good job 😂

Nice one! Loved the way you got the wood framing around it (stealing the idea 🙂). The only thing I might do different, wouldn't put the bog filter exit facing the mechanical one. One of those would get a "L" shaped end to create a circular water current. Cheers from Portugal

I'm an aquarium guy really, but I was fascinated by your build. I had a few concerns as I was watching, so there were a few sharp breaths, but you addressed the concerns as you went and I exhaled in relief. It looks really nice too. I think the mechanical filtration could be done better, but it would cost a lot on a pond scale, so I think as a cheaper set up you did well. I'm not a fan of alfagrog, so that's the only thing I would change out.

@GingerFishyOfficial

Thank you! Yeah, I agree the mechanically filter could be better, the real test will be how it handles the summer months when the waste load is at its highest! I only really used the alfagrog as I bought a big bag of it years ago and thought I may as well use it up. 👍

That is an awesome build and one that inspired me a lot to build something like this in my garden! One thing I would have done differently is use the water coming from the mechanical filter to go directly into the gravel filter (by gravity, maybe setting the latter one a little lower) and thus having mechanically clean water only in the gravel filter.

@GingerFishyOfficial

8 ай бұрын

Thank you! I did think about doing that, but wasn’t sure on what hose/ pipe diameters I need to use, plus I was struggling to work out the right flow rate to make sure it all ran smoothly, so in the end decided to keep them separate. Also I thought by keeping them separate if I ever have a problem with one of the filters, I can just divert all the water to the other one. But yeah, ideally it would be good to have the water go from the mechanical filter into the bog 👍😊
