side note the best way to prewash rocks is to just make a small hole for the hose to fit in and just wash the rock still in the bag. You can move the bag around and poke small drainage holes.
That's how I do it just because I'm lazy
Just seen your video, nice. My question is about koi fish. I have the basic tank you have, but I have a 50 gallon tank on top, bottom one filtering to top one, than back down to the bottom. I have 4 gold fish all 4", and 5 koi, 3- 9", 2-6". Is that to many on the bottom tank. Filter and pump are great.
@@pedromedina770 i have 5 koi and 1 goldfish in an outdoor shallow pond only about 500 gallons and they grow huge unless you never feed them, they are always looking for food would like to have one several times as large for koi. the koi are around 24 to 30 inches and goldfish is about 10 inches. they grew that big in about 5 years.
I built the same exact one last year for koi. They come inside for the winter. I added LED strip lights under the rim and a small fountain that has a foam filter head. As well as underwater lighting. I looks great at night.
I would love to see it
This is exactly what I was looking for. We already have the tank and I spent hours trying to do research on Amazon for a filter & pump. We have 8 goldfish in there that managed to survive the winter, avoid the raccoons and didn't launch themselves out of the tank.
Thanks to your video i went to lowes and bought a 20 gallon pond liner, cleared a corner of my bedroom. Had two 8ft boards of hardwood plywood in the same room begging for a project...halfway done building a bottomless and topless box with oak top rails. For the substrate i got some gravel and river rocks from my backyard
Finally a simple filtration system I can make! Thank you Sir!
I set up my first outdoor pond this year. 100g with a DIY planter box filter(for fun) and I put my white cloud minnows in and I have A LOT of fry already. so much fun seeing that happen. This build makes me want to buy another one and put my OSCAR outside for the summer to colour him up.
This is going to be my summer 2022 project. I have chosen the largest basin that our Tractor Supply has, and in the meantime, I'll be viewing your video many many times before starting it. You make it look so easy and I hope it is.
I say fancy goldfish with some water Lilly’s etc would be hella awesome
The girls will love it!
I'm definitely considering the Goldfish route! Surprisingly.... I've never had goldfish! 😂
🙌🙌🙌
The men would like it too
Lilies need sun, this is on a porch...also water changes will be required weekly
@Mohammed Razvi_2240421 i think the hardest part would just be keeping the balance. so would need to be pretty big
I did the same but put a small table on the side and added a pump and filter water fall going back I to it. Easy. And I love the sound of a water fall. Better filter than sponge filters and you get your aeration.
Love my fishes!
I'm setting up a pond in my backyard, the small diy filter video would help quite a bit.
I love your channel and everything you do for the community. This video along with the DIY filter video you used for this pond inspired me to make my pond. I was wondering if you could please do an update video for this pond? Thank you for your time.
Thanks for the tips...the best part of the video is the last few seconds...your girls are precious.
It is wonderful to have an assistant. 😊
Thanks for the video!
I have that tank. It works really well. I've had it in above-ground use for 5 years now and I can say that it's just finally starting to give way (ie bend outward) to the water pressure. I'm in the Texas Gulf Coast where we are hot and humid and the pond is in full sun most of the day. We always planned to install rock wall around the tank to help support it/hide it, but we never did. We plunked it on the ground and never looked back. LOL
Thanks I was considering getting this but I think I will go for galvanized steal for longevity.
If you get some bowing you can always buy another one and stack them for maximum support. Still worth the price. Also helps if you put it in the ground with the dirt or sand to help support it.
What fish do you have in it and how do you deal with algae growth? I've been running my setup here in NW Houston for approx. 4 months now. In full sun about 10 hours a day and its practically impossible to keep the water clear of algae. Also starting to worry about what I'm going to do with the fish come winter.
My gold fish just freeze up over winter. Ohio. Then come back ta life in spring.
Didn't realise how big it was until he sat in it!!!
I really appreciate the edit of u telling ur self to turn on the water
Thank you for the effort that you go to when making your videos 🙂 as well as the comedy that you put in
Extremely easy to understand. I think I could totally pull this off. Thanks 👍
Its the babies at the end for me. SO cute. Thanks for all the great tips
Kids are gorgeous and I love the pond idea.
that tub goes by a different brand called "Tuff Stuff" here in Texas. $59.99 on sale as well.
I've noticed that's what it's called on the website even! I was surprised to see the difference when I went to pick it up.
@@SCFishKeeping hey man loved the videos of the stock tank pond and set one of my own up and have been wondering what you would recommend for heating it mine is set up out side and i live in Illinois where winter can get harsh got any tips?
@@ridingwithray2061for an outdoor pond, either a de-icer or an in-line water heater
Outstanding video! Good breakdown on pricing, and the little snippets within the video! Keep them videos rolling....
lava rock piled around a pump that pushes water up to a planter basket filled with your choice of substrate and plants, with holes drilled on the opposite end to return water back to the tank. A light substrate over the rest of the tank bottom helps to see the fish easier (assuming the water is clear).
Hello, thank you for your video. I made a filter out of the trashcan just like in the video and it is awesome but one thing I did I drilled in that pipe through the shop and then all the way through to the other side then capped it off
It makes changing the filters so much easier
I was wondering when you where going to do a outdoor pond! I think more fish keepers by stock tanks than ranchers lol. As for fish I would like to see you put sunfish in it, they are hardy enough to take the weather changes for where you live and you could always put a heater in it during the winter. Keep it up Zac!
Haha I think I was just putting off an outdoor pond for no reason! I'm excited about this one man!
I like the sunfish idea! Hardy, active and fun to feed!
Might need to cover it for sunfish
@@adamrewolinski1789 Yessir! I have a plan for that as well! Don't need any patio sunfish!
Always a great video !!
This is exactly what I wanted to see in a video. Ty!
This is a great idea! I absolutely want to do this.
😆 I lost it when you threw the water filters in. My humor is very different today....
Love it, very helpful
I've watched a lot of fishkeepers over the years. But what's funny, is in this video you took my approach, literally, tractor supply and then Lowes.... Lol. But I will say I have the same air pump, and I have been running it for 6 months outside without issues. I have my golds and koi in the Rubbermaid 100 gal, oh along with my Cori cats.
I love the outtro
Thank you for the great vids! Educational and entertaining. I am always looking for inspiration on ways to improve my indoor 50 gal goldfish pond. Have a good one Sir
For sure gonna build something like this when I get my own place.
It's a fantastic way to build a good sized pond!!
I'm loving this i have had Rubbermaid stock tank for years. Didn't know about the cheaper ones.
Zak just wanna say I know I've had my asshole comments but your the guy who inspired me to get a 100 gallon tub!! Much love from the UK brother!!
This was very helpful. Thank you. I have been considering doing this for a while.
Definitely recommend it! You get a lot of bang for your buck!
Heck yeah dude.
This would be a great bait tank for shiners orany small fish. I cant wait to see the filter setup you make
Yesssss upgrade the pond!
Now to convince my parents...Love the vids man!
same
next time their gone just set it up lol
Ahahah when you did the shot of you at the hose turning it on🤣🤣🤣🤣
Put a school of creek chubs in it! They would be fun to keep, very energetic and easy to catch with any bait. Also you could catch a few crawfish from the creek while you are at it!
This video was amazing
Love this. Would love to see something with guppies & if possible something that would work with ducks as well 🙏🤙
I just bought the same tubs today one for my side neck pink bellies
Thanks for the video
Outstanding video
You speak my language! Love it.
Great video.
Very nice video of DIY $ per gallon! Oh the girls were a BONUS! Lol ❤️❤️❤️
I think some cute goldfish would be cool!! Your daughters would love them!
Great video...I'll be setting up a 175gal in a couple weeks
Love it! Great job
Great job. Looking good 👍
Loven the videos 🤘🤘
It's perfect!!! What I was looking for, I live in an apartment and I have been wanting to do something like this with live plants and butterfly koi on my patio, I've just been looking different ways I could do it cheaply, thank you
Sounds like an awesome plan!! Definitely keep me posted as you set it up!
I literally last week set up the exact same set up for an outdoor pond here in Florida. Been running the same pump in my other pond for two years outside with no issues. In my 300 gallon pond. I love seeing someone else doing what I’ve been doing for a few years now! I’d love to know how to share some pictures with you of my ponds
Send me some pictures on my Instagram!! It would be cool to see your set up and get some ideas as I add to this pond!
I will do that now!
I like that idea on the set up. Probably will need some floating plants to help the filtration a bit. As far as fish lets go with some shiners, sculpins and smaller natives.
I'm going to do something better and bigger for the filter, but I'm definitely looking into floating plants!!
Thanks for sharing brother, it helps to have videos like this. Save that $$$
Lol!!! Love those babies! Beautiful!
Reading my mind..
( I'm trying to stay Small so i don't turn half of my back yard into a pond )
😉
Love the d.i.y. filter idea.👍
Nice build, also liked the garbage can filter. I think a native tank would be neat. Have a 150 tub for my goldfish, bare bottom. It was a deal, also got a fluval fx4 for a steal at black Friday sale. The DIY filter would have bee a great alternative though. Your girls a cuties too.
Thanks for sharing man.
Thanks for the info
Yup I need that pond size in my life. " ok turn it on" 😂
I'd love a video on a DIY filter set up. I don't have a yard but I bet I can convince my brother to do a pond at his place.
This is perfect as is, just make sure u do water changes(dont slack off) and put some plants in there. I made it work with perfect water conditions
Awesome.. I still got that 120g tank that I think I'm going to have to get rid of. So if anyone is in Indiana and want a free tank she is yours.. be pretty neat to have a mini school of crappie in there.
Good video mate..no bullshit straight to the point...keep it up!
Setting up a 75 gallon pond in my condo for guppies, have outgrown their 55 gallon tank. I started with just one sponge but as volume has increase will add a second one. Now I enjoy my tanks and pond perspective all at the same time, just my observation but I believe fish act more naturally in a pond than a fish tank, that’s just me.
Verry nice!
Greatest from Vienna.
Let's give a round of an applause to guest appearance. The water on man!
Very informative about the pond not sure what fish too put in there but something bright so you could watch them.
Bro these are the best way to do it in my opinion💪💪💪, I’ve got a 300 gallon an 100 gallon in my basement
Pretty goldfish🐠🐟
Love the Clark W. Griswold power connect lol
Last year i got the tuff stuff brand of stock tank from TSC for $84.99, 110 gallon. I like it better than the rubbermaid bc like the one you got, the sides on the inside and outside are smooth and it is way cheaper better bang for your buck. I had endlers in it and they did great, even in NW Indiana winter, but then the outlet the heater and filter were plugged in to fried at the end of winter (January) and i lost everything in it. Except some snails and plants. So now i have it in a different outlet on it's own breaker box and it's been running great ever since. I moved some mutt guppies in to it (6) and this summer i am setting up a few more of these stock tank ponds for different morphs of guppies and maybe even some severum in one bc i need a cull fish for the ones who are deformed and i don't have the heart of clove oil them.
thanks, very helpful!
I just discovered your channel,Great video!!Greetings from San Antonio TX 👍🐟
I have a similar plastic pond like yours that is over 20 years old and I never had any problems with it. I'm really into frogs. So with water lilies I have plenty of frogs in there. They breed tadpoles in there and eats all the mosquito larvae. I need another plastic one which is fixed near my other one because bullfrogs are so cool
Question: I really like the look of the metal stock tanks. I know it is a bit more pricey but was just wondering if the metal tanks make for a very good pond for goldfish?
Love this awesome video! Thanks for the idea! It's definitely something I'm gonna try. I'd personally like to see some bluegill and some smaller largemouth bass or maybe a coi fish
Those are the fish I was thinking as well! It'd be cool to see a little colony of bluegill I think!
PUMPKINSEED! the cutest sunfish
You could put some yellow perch in the pond that would be perfect and they would really shine with the dark surroundings!
Yes i would love you to do that
Panfish pond for the win 👍🏻 this might just be the type of pond that magically appears on my porch (don’t worry, I won’t tell the wife where I got the idea lol)
Yeah I made a video on adding the Tuff Stuff tank to my backyard pond build. Also in SC!!
Thank you
THANK U FOR THE INFO 😄😄😄😄😄
I built this before I saw this video awesome idea I went no substrate
Nice video my friend - I use stock tanks in the winter and bring my Koi indoors. I make my own filters ( Bog Filters )
enjoyed watching and I subscribed.
I would and have built an indoor pond like that. I added a canister filter to mine. I used to breed African cichlids and Oscars by the thousands.
Great video man!
I was honestly looking into doing something like this for a few spots in and outside my house. Can't wait to see the diy filtration next!
🤟🎣🤟
I have an awesome idea for the filtration of this thing man!! Just you wait!!
How fun is this! How well do you like those sponge filters as far as keeping small ponds like that clean and arriatated?
I am planning on doing this in my school garden. I’m a teacher and would love to put a goldfish pond in our garden. Just gotta figure out some shade and the mesh for the top so fish don’t jump out or birds don’t get in.
I just discovered the channel yesterday and I have been loving all of the fish content on the channel! I recently started my 35 gallon outdoor pond to breed minnows and it is definitely cool to see you do something like that at a bigger size and indoors!
Thank you for watching the videos!! I appreciate the support!!
How much success do you have breeding the minnows??
Hey Zack can't wait to see the next video be awesome and helpful and I think you should stay native fish
I am thinking of adding a second pond in my backyard hoping for something easier to maintain than the in-ground liner pond I already have with waterfall filters to constantly change and all in one fountain that have filter, UV light, and fountain pump all in one.
Looking into doing it myself! Whitecloud minnows!
definitely making a bait tank in my garage now
I have an awesome existing water feature on my patio (DYI, even picked out the rocks myself from a guy in the Mexican desert). I’ve been considering adding plants and gold fish. Here’s my question; the base container is a large planter, I’d guess about 80 gallons. I think it is made of fiberglass. Would this be safe for fish?
