    I have a 900 gal pond with a filter. Few plants are living but most have died off its been 4 months now I thought it would've cycled. I added one bottle of fertilizer to ratio but didn't help. So you have any tips on adding some type of liquids to help? The fish bred and made loads of fry recently so they will provide some nitrates I guess.

      @alexisthisreal5488 10 дней назад

    • @kovenant7
      @kovenant7 10 дней назад

      @alexisthisreal5488 in the beginning I only added 5 mature swordtails which is not hardly any to produce nitrates. It's in full shade must of the day. Very little sun I think that's the main problem but I want to find out if a right bskance of ph and nitrates is a benefit. It's it common that they are store bought in bottles and added to the pond? I think I may have to cut the many limbs that are above.

      Where abouts do you live? There are hardier fancy goldfish that can survive outside without heating. I have had them outside without heating in the past. Last 4 years I do heat the pond and try and keep it above 12 degrees. They are more fragile than normal goldfish and koi. I would recommend heating.

    • @alexisthisreal5488

      I have koi and carp in one pond. Fancy goldfish in the other. I really like the fancy goldfish. Lots of different varieties, and they can be quite different. Very friendly as well. They are not as tough as koi and carp. They need to be heated really throughout winter. Depends where you live but mine don't really like it below 12 degrees. So I tend to heat pond in winter and don't let it drop below that temp. They are much more vulnerable to predators. Mine spend a lot of time on surface. I have 2 cats and they just like watching them but would be easy prey for predatory cat. I have mixed fancy goldfish with goldfish and koi and they have been OK. But it isn't recommended. They are slower and struggle to get food before other fish get them. Why I decided to just keep one pond for fancy goldfish. Heating water in winter can be expensive.

    VERY nice. If I ever get a chance, I plan on building a sleeper pond. Some things I would do(just because I'm me) that may be it's overkill. This is NOT to say anything he did was incorrect. I've never built one & would use his video as a guideline. The things listed below are from watching other RUclips videos of people building sleeper ponds. 1. Once drilling the pilot holes, go back with a little larger bit, & drill about 1/2 inch. That way the head of the screws will be countersunk. 2. I would put bolts/screws in 2nd & 3rd row to screw them to the row below to make them a little stronger. 3. Use rebar(maybe overkill but again, that's me) to stop any flexing of the walls when they are filled. This might not be an issue on smaller ponds but I think if you went over 12 ft.(3.65 meters), you "might" have some flex. Of course, by doing step 2, it could make rebar not necessary. a. Drill about halfway through first row. Make a straight line across the top of 1st row going through the middle of the hole as close as you can. Then make another straight line going down the inside wall so you can line up upper rows. You can drill all the way through the 2nd row & line up with hole in 1st row. Again, drill a slightly larger hole so when hammering the rebar in, it would allow for an small discrepancies. Repeat for the rows after the 2nd row. I would also put rebar in the corners. After all holes are drilled, get a vacuum & suck up any sawdust that might have settled in the bottom. NOTE: If using rebar, take a small dowel rod that will fit in the holes(MAKE sure you can pull it out) to see exactly how deep each hole is. If you have discrepancies between the depths of the hole, have the rebar cut a little shorter than the average depth of the holes. Example: Lets say you put 12 pieces of rebar in(3 per side). You measure & the depths range from 35 - 36 inches. Have the rebar cut 35 to 35.5 inches. After you've hammered it in as far as you can, take a small piece of rebar, tap it down farther. BTW, one video I was instead of rebar, the person used wooden rods about 2 inches thick instead of rebar. Using the wooden rods, you hammer it in as far as you can & the trim the excess flush with the top row. While using wooden rods, the person would file down the bottom to look like this - \_/ - that will be going in. He did this because when he was hammering one in without that, it caught(because the holes were off too much & he couldn't get it to go all the way in. Again, I really liked this video & was impressed by how well he explained everything & the final result.

    • @alexisthisreal5488
      @alexisthisreal5488 28 дней назад

      Yes I agree with everything you say. Every pond build you make choices. This build was a cheap as possible and only really built to get me through 5 years. If money is no option and you are going bigger or really want it to last a very long time I would take many of the measures mentioned. Best thing is watch as any builds as you can. Decide what you want and do your own thing.
