    9:40 drill a small hold at the level you want and glue a wire mesh over the hole so only extra water can pass through

    Maybe a layer of silicone inside could reduce the evaporation through the pot. It's fish safe as long as you let it dry out for about 24 hours

I pray you are safe with all the wildfires that we're hearing from the news, please do reply and give me any feedback on the wildfires.

    I would love to do a few mini ponds with fish for my philodendrons, peace Lillies that I rooted in water and some pothos. I want to add fish but want to make sure it's self sustaining and stays clean without taking it apart. Do you have a video explaining what I need to buy to make it self sustaining for the fish and plants to survive. Is there a list of plants somewhere that oxygenate the water and keep it clean?

    Just subbed! I want to ask about feeding. I'm not putting betas in, probably wild guppies the pond is full of water and plants. I'm just waiting for it to cycle. Can guppies live off of water cabage roots and other plant matter? I can feed with flakes at times but if I go out of town I want them to be able to feed off vegetation and moquito larva.

    I love your pond build, It’s breathtaking. I have a pot that i’m just waiting to set up. I’d like to plant lotus or waterlily but the pond will be indoor, in my bedroom. I wonder what would be a good source of light for plant growth. I worry it won’t be as thriving indoors 🫠

    • @jonisolis9645
      @jonisolis9645 9 місяців тому

      You need to use strong grow lights close to the top of the plants in order to give them enough light and I would put the light or lights on a timer for about 10-12 hours per day.

    • @AquascapeArtVideos
      @AquascapeArtVideos  Рік тому

      hi Naick!! no water change here at all! simply top up now and again, this is the easiest setup i find. i think once the ecosystem is setup, everything runs on pilot 👍

    • @erikm8372
      @erikm8372 Рік тому +1

      If you feel like it needs it, I’d do a weekly water change of 10-50% depending on how big the bowl or tank is. That was always my “system”, doing 50% every weekend, and my tanks did great. I also had a lot of use for that water in the garden at the time… But it’s true how once the plants and bacteria get going, as long as the nutrient level isn’t overboard or there’s too much fish waste (or overstocked), you’ll be ok actually. As it evaporates, top it off with fresh dechlorinated water. Maybe once or twice a month.
