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!

This is seriously impressive, looks like you are leveling up in build size here, good for trying something out of your comfort zone!

Finally, an actual diy video that explains the process in step by step fashion. Bloody thank you!

Only 4 things I didn't see you do (might be addressed in your other video) that I like to include in pond builds to ensure a long life for the pond and a long life for local wildlife. For a first/second try? This is excellent.

Nice. Keeping it real. This is how these projects progress for most of us diy'ers who don't have a 5 person crew, limited resources and time.

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.

I can’t believe you did that with no help. A lot of work and it’s looks beautiful.

The pond turned out really nice. I have to say this is one of the best, most informative pond videos I have watched. I look forward to part 2.

This is amazing how you didn’t give up and improved when needed

I like that you used the paper to explain how you folded the liner. brilliant

Very amazing and nice to see the kind of system needed to keep the water clean and healthy.

Absolutely fabulous! A backyard pond is one of the first things on my list if I ever manage to get a home of my own.

As a studying ecologist I absolutely love your videos, it truly shows the just pure fun and joy you can get out of nature. Amazing job man! I look forward to seeing the next installment

I glad you still had faith in the pond! Even though things were tough, you never gave up!

I just hope all the plastic materials would be easily replaced once they start deteriorating. All that hard work for this beauty!! ❤️

This will go viral, straight to the feed of any gardener ever. Great video as always Tanner!

Beautiful, Tanner. That was a lot of hard work but so worth the effort. Love your choice of flowering perennials too. Gotta keep those pollinators happy.

Yes of course! I have to get more as well.

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.

Just a tip. The coarse foam should be the first thing the water hits. It will collect the large particles and your poly fill will polish better and last longer. It looks like the water is flowing onto the poly fill first. Looks great!

Great job!!! Next step is to go buy a few piranhas for pond security.

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

4 жыл бұрын

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

Nice. We learn from fails as well as successes. Thanks for including them.

A mammoth undertaking for one guy to do all by himself. great skill and a stunning end result. well done.

Beautiful job! So labor intensive but worth every bit of effort. Bravo!

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

That was definitely DIY. One of the most ponds I’ve ever seen.

What. A. Project. Omg especially by yourself 😩 it sounds so nice and it’s so cute

That's an incredible pond! You did a great job.
