Hey Chris, how long has Kevin HAD this weird obsession with being a macaroni?

Chris I Love These Pond Updates Like No Others Thanks For The Updates cant wait to see this thing all done with the fish eating and thriving you and kevin are definitely putting in the time and work For The Fish To Thrive‼️ 🙌🏽

Man has contemplated the beaver for centuries & none have figured them out yet, so don't kick yourself, you'll nail that rascally beaver. Fun times at the pond!

To keep the crane off of your pond, buy a crane decoy from your distributor and move it around the pond every few days. Cranes are lone critters, they generally will not inhabit a small pond where another crane already exists. Best of luck...

Great idea putting the air-stone in the bucket. That will keep it clean and will work efficiently for much longer than if just dropped in. Also avoids churning the silt up. Really clever.

I remember when you started the pond series and when you were building the cabin…I was a heroin addict at the time and your videos kept my mind busy when I was detoxing…this past April 2nd was 3 years clean and sober for me…I just wanna say thank you for all your amazing videos and hard work it takes to make these videos

I don’t comment on videos usually, but I always look forward to you and your brothers content thanks for sharing

Guys I just wanted to say I really appreciate how excited you guys get about bubbles.

Glad to see some new content and that your in good health Chris. Looking forward to many many more videos

Thanks Chris 👊 Appreciate you my friend 🙏 stay safe and take care 👍

Wow, that aerator is really pumping out the oxygen! Can't wait for the fish delivery, the pond has really come alive since ya'll worked on it. Love what ya'll are doing ❤️

airatores don't add O2 to water. it agitates the water surface for the nitrogen exchange to happen. really a pond that large you would not really need an bubbler. the wind would agitate the water service enough for O2 to get deposited. an since its so deep and the water volume now is so massive it should be fine.

There isn't enough wind, consistently enough there.

That solar pump is sick. Wouldn’t work for diving though. You need compressed air for diving. Must be able to power through the atmospheric pressure change. I would just keep installing more traps in all the beavers detours😆man that pond is beautiful 🐸🍺🔪🔥

I like the looks of this pond!! Much better!!

The pond looks amazing chris u and your brother did a good job with it

A couple of things to add isomewhat leaves from a river that contain healthy bacteria that will eat fish poop and also if you put a sponge filter around The outside And drill holes in the side of the bucket. That would help filter the water. Also if you put a 90ﾟ angle pipe above the bucket with a lid it will add waterfly in a certain direction of your choice... Maybe also think about live plants in buckets that will keep the ammonia nitrates Down I don't know how much water flow is going in-and-out of your system. Maybe put some type of insulation on the inside of that pump house to lower the noise or build a structure around it. Excellent video keep up the great work stay warm

To keep your pond cold you could try to place some floater plants in there,preferably ones that the fish can't eat.

Hey Chris and Kevin! I have a suggestion for you guys! Thanks for the awesome video updates as usual… For the pump box underneath the solar panel, as well as tons of other things around the property, you should consider stone! Allow me to elaborate… My father and his father and I have been stone masons for years, and unlike lumber, stone will literally last until the end of time! Securing precious items like the pump box and other things is vital dude! Mixing cement and grabbing some stone slabs, building a fortified box to keep those things up off the ground is important! Plus it’ll fit the natural look. Something to keep in mind! Stone! Stone! Stone!

Smart beaver

You may need a secondary species for a food source. Do some research on Fathead minnows. I believe they will stay small and naturally reproduce so you would have a constant quality food source for your trout. Beautiful pond

"Looking for beaver...". I can relate.

Soon enough there will be a whole village around the pond, No doubt haha

I think you got this time... 3 ways to get air in the water AND a waterfall. That is 4 ways to get air in the water. Way cleaner this time, super cold all year... the colder the water the more oxygen it can hold. If your waterfall is big enough you won't even need the pumps. Well done.

His pipe wasn't 2inches....but he improvised 🤔🤣👌

If you find that you aren't getting enough sun because of shade, maybe you could move the panels up onto your windmill tower. This is probably obvious to you, but a LiFePO4 battery between the panels and the pump could keep the pump running at night for you and there are techniques for using batteries to extend the run time for your solar generator, in a pinch. Having a battery and a cheap inverter down there could even let you power some tools or lights should you need them.

If you wanted to scuba dive with that pump, and I and everyone else out here totally think you should, and film it, all you would need is a bucket ( or a big fish bowl ) that will go over your head. Stick the hose under and up into said bucket, with your head. At that point, as long as the pressure in the air hose can push against the water in the bucket and push it out, you should be able to breathe. Sounds like 12 feet may be your limit though, based on the depth limit the pump maker listed. I think they call this type of underwater device a diving bell. We double dog dare ya to try it! LOL

Hi. First tarted watching you and Wes when you did the challenge with Bob Hansler. Lost track for a while - life - then thought I was unsubscribed for some reason but did see when you were first getting the pond going. Now own windmill and solar panels. I’m way down south so up north is interesting.

how much sound does the solar pump make? is it something you just get use too and forget its there or is it always noticeable? Love the content on both channels

@TheWoodedBeardsman

Жыл бұрын

It's like a very low sound. You wouldn't notice if there was any amount of wind. At first, I wasn't sure, but honestly not bothersome at all. You could also easily deaden or eliminate the sound by building something around it, but we haven't been motivated to do that, even though we talked about it since it's not that much of an issue.

What about raising a few larger solar panels above the trees so they can get hit during the winter? Of course you would need some way to clear the snow off the panels.

@TheWoodedBeardsman

Жыл бұрын

They would need to be 30 foot high as there is a ridge with trees on top.

Hook up an extra battery to the solar to charge so it works day and night!

We could set up a battery system to keep the compressor going at night.

That plant is Canola or Rapeseed according to my Picture This app. I thought that is what it looked like since they grow that a lot where I live but checked my app.

All you need now is a waterfall. Simple pump and stone rock build

Would it be beneficial to put those solar panels on a flagpole or something of the sort to get them higher in the air so the trees don't block the sun so much? Just an idea and I'm sure you guys could make it work or even screwing or strapping it to the top of a good strong tree to get the most out of the sun! Just throwing it out there for an idea.

@TheWoodedBeardsman

There is a hill, and trees on top of it, so we'd need to get 30 ft up to make a difference. The sun also gets lower as the days get shorter.

put it on top of the windmill

Ive heard said If, If the air pump is at the deepest part of the pond. It moves bad water up into the good water and kill fish. I'm sure there's more to it than I understand but I thought I'd mention it.

@TheWoodedBeardsman

Жыл бұрын

The thought is that the cool water which trout like, is moved to the top so the fish don't have a refuge. But bottom up aeration is more ideal for cold water species which spend more time at the bottom, versus say a waterfall or sprinkler type aeration, so obviously you need to design how your situation works. Of course, we could put the aerator in the shallow end too, but this pond never got too warm, so should be alright.
