    I’ve done 2 ponds, one fairly large, so I know the time invested in creating a good design. You’ve done a bang up job with this one and that budget is quite impressive as well.

    Nice pond, very natural looking. I'm in Adelaide and couldn't buy waterfall foam so used cement. Same sort of bio filter but I jet the water into a funnel to pick up oxygen to increase good bacteria before going down to the T piece which then goes to a bog then back to the pond via a waterfall. Careful with the scoria though, it can cut the liner, I used small river pebble. I'm on my 9th pond now, 40 years, but already designing the next one it's so addictive. Ponds on a budget are the most satisfying keep up the good work.

    That is a great idea, putting flow line inside of the liner. I have a 15 year old pond that uses rocks for a filter and it is losing water too much I am deciding what are my options to keep a water feature but it won't use that up flow rock filter or underground water plumbing.

      Thank you sir. I like your videos very much. You have great knowledge about ponds.
      Sir one question i have, beside gold fish,shubamkins and koi's ..which other fishes we can keep in outdoor ponds so that in winters also they can survive easily. I want to make a community fish pond, with different types of fish. But they can bare cold also around 8degree Celsius. Thank you very much.

      Those are the sorts of temperatures my ponds experience even slightly colder. I keep Southern Pygmy perch, Murray river rainbow fish, White Cloud Mountain minnows, silver perch and goldfish/ shubunkins all in outdoor ponds.

    Beautiful work! Really lovely. Do u ever worry about the fish being “subjected” to continuous motor noise from the submerged pump? I maybe silly but I diet of do worry about that. Do you think it would be possible to have the pump remote from the actual water?

    • @Ozponds
      @Ozponds  4 роки тому +4

      Thanks Wendy 😊. I’m not sure if the noise bothers the fish. I can’t hear any noise but maybe they can. You can have the pumps outside the pond, you just need a bulkhead fitting to create a water tight seal through the liner. Alternatively you could use a pool pump but these are not as energy efficient as submersibles.

    Why did u have an upward facing flush valve inside the filter? And up from the bottom won’t the crud still be left on the bottom when u flush it?

    • @Ozponds
      @Ozponds  4 роки тому +1

      The elbow fitting attached to the flush valve actually faces down. Perhaps I just used some of the footage during construction, but good pick up. Yes you want the flush out to remove as much water and muck as possible. So it should be facing down.

      I had to look up what a Capybara was. What a cool looking animal. So yes looks like you’ll be dealing with a lot of waste. You’ll definitely want a lot more flow than this pond has. I want to hear more about this build 👍

      @@Ozponds Oh yes I'm looking forward to adding them to my quirky farm! They are basically Giant Guinea pigs,very laid back and social animals. I'm looking to build a larger pond that has shallow and a deeper end for them to fully submerge if they wish,Capybara's are partly Aquatic and adore water. So I've been brainstorming ideas since I want to give them the best setup I can but maybe not breaking the bank if I can help it lol

    • @Ozponds

      I think you can do it just make sure you have lots of flow. That will keep the waste suspended and then it will be more easily captured by the filter.

    • @Ozponds
      @Ozponds  2 роки тому

      Solar pumps are still no good for running a decent filtration system. I use them to help with circulation. If you were going to create something similar with solar pumps I would configure the pond as if there were no pumps (more plants, false bottom). That way the pond isn’t reliant on the pump for filtration, because it won’t be running at least 50% of the time.
