Don't let this happen to your pond
Переглядів 479Рік тому
Black, or dark water can easily be avoided as long as you get your net on early before the leaves fall, and (the most important) you stop them from weighing it down, dipping into the water.
The Search for Angel Falls
Переглядів 164Рік тому
Thanks for joining us on another adventure. This time it's to Angel Falls PA. What looked like a short hike from the parking lot to the falls turned into a 3 hour hike up and down through the woods. The trail head was difficult to find, but the hike was well worth it. If you plan on visiting Angel Falls I recommend early spring or fall, before the leaves are fully on the trees. Give yourself en...

Yes, the fastest way is to hire a professional 😂😂😂😂😂
“They scream elegance and class” 😂😂😂 It’s pretty but it’s just a rock with some water on it.
You're not wrong! lol!
won't all that dead rotting algae now throw off the pond balance?
Most of it winds up in the skimmer box
What pump are you using?
it's a variable speed pump, with a max flow rate of about 3000 GPH
It looks real, and that is priceless!!!
Thank you.
Well done
Thanks!
Cool man I like you're making videos on your koi pond keep them coming 👍
Thanks 👍
Very informative learned a few thinks
Glad to hear it!
Instead of that pipe/bucket combo, use an old plastic milk crate. Just turn it upside down and boom, you got a housing for your pump. You can run your piping through it and put rocks on top and it won't bother your pump set up one bit. And regardless of any of that, your end product turned out spectacular!
That's great advice. I will do that the next time I do a clean out on the stream. Thanks!
Very serene ,beautiful
It really is!
Lovely video. I'm making a stream in my garden
Good luck with your project!
I I have a Doberman
I've got a question if you don't have any Outlets can you do something with a solar panel or something period and would you happen to know of any you can use with a solar panel
I don't have much experience with solar panels, but I'm sure there are some on the market that would work. You would have to do some research to see which would work best for your application.
You could tie a mesh bag in that pump
Those plastic AquaBasins start at, like, $300!!! Nice that it can hold some weight -- and I assume long lasting? -- but ridiculously overpriced.
Yes, they are pricey. If look around you may be able to find a more cost affective alternative.
I hated the look of pond foam I used on my waterfall. I took a propane torch and heated it after it dried. It melted the top so that it looked natural and blended with the rock.
Thats a great idea, I've heard of people doing that. Does it blend in better than the grey waterfall foam?
@@BackyardWaterGarden Yes
Awesome❤
Thanks!
What was the size of your liner and where did you get it?
The liner is 4' x 24'. It was a piece left over from a larger pond installation. It would have been thrown out if i didn't take it.
Nice work. A good down to earth video and water feature. Good to have a helper. I'm redoing my waterfall feature for the tenth time in that many years. Always have a problem losing more water than is acceptable. I have a couple helpers (if I can separate them from the computer games). My 15 year old grandson and his friend, both bigger and stronger than I am. Not because I'm old (I am but won't admit it) but because they will help save my back.
Wow, your pond expanded!
thanks man
Koi are getting new friends
Do birds and wildlife use the stream? I want to help my local birds
Yes, they are drawn to moving water. They show up to bathe in the pond waterfall, and in the rock fountain.
Yes
The best part of this video is the ominous "death is at hand" background music you've got going on 😂
Will the Chinese algae eater survive over winter in a pond?
Love this. I want to do something similar in front house going to a koi pond of to the side it will start by porch as a waterfall thwn kind of s curve before going around to corner section Also plan to.make it mini rc crawler friendly:p
You left a tub in the woods? Isn’t there a landfill site in your region? Properly Disposing of unwatered anything is the responsible thing to do. Do the creatures in the woods dump their trash in your backyard? What is wrong with people? What a poor and lazy example to set for your children!
Dog lives you. I’m just putting in my first garden pond and hope to limit my mistakes. I’m actually marathoning your Videos to get a better grasp on the subject. I’m impressed with your content and hope to see more of the same. Your co content producer seems to be a happy u tuber
Thanks for your support!
Liked and will watched more.
You need a splash apron so you can turn it on stronger
Something seriously wrong with the title.
Thanks for this - great job! Super clear instructions and good tips!
i think i put too little salt. i will add more tomorrow. Thank you
Why would you bother rinsing the stones and then putting a bunch of soil in the bucket ? Silly and a waste of time
Smells Fishy 🤔🐟
Wow it’s looks natural 👍🏻
Climb Algonquin. Shorter hike. Second highest. Much more spectacular view.
There should have been more information given on a salt bath. For just one example. If your fish turns sideways. Immediately put back into fresh water or it well die. So please have another bucket full of fresh water from pond with airstone if issues arise. And NEVER leave until treatment is over. Reasons are many and not explained. Also recommendations in comment sections are for the most part incorrect.
Recommend every year so we can make money.......
Great video !! Love Step by step n end Result !! Sweet !! 😎
Thanks 👍
I guarantee the homeowner will forget to check the water. The pump will burn out. They will be calling you.
I purchased your guide on your web site a while back via Venmo, but I never received anything.
THANK YOU
Great project i will try it. Nice rounded butt 🙈🍑
😊
What type of flagstone did you use?
Great job. I've started my own stream now 👍🏼
So, do you have to run an extension cord to it and cover it with rocks? If so, do you have to do anything special to the connecting plugs to protect them from the elements? Like, do you have to wrap electrical tape around them? Does this require a 220v outlet?
It's a regular 110 outlet. The cord on this pump was long enough to reach my outlet, so an extension cord was not required.
@@BackyardWaterGarden Thank you 🙂
Great job with the UV light installation. I have a similar size pond and I bought the same UV light. What size flex pipe did you use? Is it the same diameter as your pump line? Thank you.
