      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!

    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'm so inspired! bought a house with my wife a couple years ago and there's a flat spot on the property that would be perfect for something like this!

    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

      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

    I really like your pond the way it is. Although natural looking ponds are nice, they are very common. good job.

    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

    I don't know how much you would object to it or how permanent you want this pond to be; however I would highly recommend deconstructing some of the wooden components and sealing the wood or even staining it for longevity.

    Personally for those who have NEVER had or cared for a pond, this one is great. It is large enough to stock it with some nice plants and fish but is small enough to deal with problems when they arise usually related to water quality. This will be a great learning tool without overwhelming it's owner unlike a large dream pond that could become very frustrating to maintain causing them to abandon it.

    This week I made my first woodwork project. A box, it was rectangular, it ended up 4” bigger than it should. I was very proud of myself. Then this guys builds a pond....
