The pond build is finally here! I’ve been talking about this for months and thought that it would have been done about a month ago, but the whole thing is just so time consuming, especially with the weather we’ve been having. Like I said in the video, this has been going on since October of 2018 and was just a concept long before that. The whole reason that I even built this is for my goldfish, so stocking in non-negotiable… other than more goldfish lol (4 won’t be enough).
This is only the first part of a few video series and I hope it gives you a good idea as to what’s possible outside the realm of naturalistic ponds. Obviously that’s what we all want, but sometimes it’s just not feasible because of cost. Even though it’s not the same type of thing, these kind of ponds can still be beautiful in their own sort of way. Plus you can create a good home for your beloved fish, which is often what it’s all about.
There’s so much more I could say, but the video should be able to do most of the talking. If you have any specific questions or want to see something else in the next installment, please let me know down in the comments. This one took forever, so I really hope you enjoy it.
Also a huge thanks for Oase for supplying the pumps! It was a huge burden off of me and was really appreciated. I’m using the Waterfall Pump 1650 for the skimmer and will be using AquaMax Eco Premium 3000 for the rest. I’ll talk more about those in the next video and put some links below.

The pond is finally here! I'm so excited to finally get this out there. I really hope you all enjoy it. Let me know what you thought thus far and if there's anything you want to see in the next installments.
Great job man
You did an outstanding job building this pond. Great detailed info. Thank you for posting.
Beautiful pond
Looks awesome. Can I make one bigger to do Aquaponics?
Why are u talking like that?
Anyone know how much he spent?
One of the better tricks I've seen for having stable walls in a boxed pond hole has been using cement board. Cut it a half inch wider than the wall to be held for a snug fit and pinwheel the overlaps. (one end holding the next wall square) Drive a foot (or 2) long peg into a drilled hole on the ends and middle. THEN start your linings. Seems to hold back Indiana clay long enough for it to harden, and the corners are still corners inside five years later.
Pour mettre les pipes dans les joints uniseal tu peux utiliser de la graisse de silicone, c'est plus facile 😓. on l'utilise aussi pour graisser les joints des filtres externe aquarium.
Add some small sized ducks to the pond❤️🦆
I think you should put some plants on the bottom of the pond for the fish to hide in
Thanks for the show.
I do like your work. Great to see the errors. It's real and a great lesson without going through the same hassle you did.
Why aren’t you in it at the end 🧐
Very nice.
Just needs a bit of gravel/stones sloping on the sides to let birds & wildlife drink & bath.
Nice job I like it
You are SO thorough!!!! I noticed you left the milkweed plant growing near the fence alone to help out Monarch Butterflies! I love how you re-purpose things like tote bins into your builds! And THANK YOU FOR USING REBAR!!!!!! You don't know how many people try to build a garden box and leave out the rebar!!!!!! You certainly know what you're doing!!!!!!!!!!
Great job. Looks awesome.
Voadora nó like 👍🇧🇷
what wood was it? you need pressure treated wood for outdoor applications
