Building a MASSIVE Wildlife Pond! (Start to Finish)
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.6 месяцев назад
We built a huge wildlife pond ecosystem transformation in an empty farmers' field. 11 months later we return to show the massive reveal of how this amazing pond looks now compared to how it was when we first started. We used a huge one-piece pond liner to waterproof the pond. Additionally, we also installed an island for the local ducks and a small boat jetty/seating area to gain access to the ...

Pampered Koi Fish vs. Parasites: The Epic Battle 😔
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
This is about how parasites attack and feast on over-pampered koi fish. People love their koi carp so much but quite often, people go too far and provide an unnatural environment where koi cannot naturally fend off the common parasite. It's natural for fish to have parasites, healthy fish have no problem fending them off. If it doesn't happen naturally in the wild, then don't do it in your pond...
Why You Should NOT Buy PVC Pressure Pipe for Ponds…
Просмотров 3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
In this video, we demonstrate and show proof of why a koi pond does not need PVC pressure pipe. PVC Pressure pipe has been designed for extremely high-pressure industrial systems, not garden ponds. We also show that all pond filters or pond pumps on the market barely get close to the 10 bar pressure limit...

Keep Your Koi Happy and Healthy in Winter Without Pond Covers

This video is about why koi ponds do not need pond covers and all the lies people have been fed to make them believe that covers are needed. Koi tolerate low water temperatures in countries colder than the UK and it is simply a con to scaremonger people into buying heating equipment for when the temperatures drop. #koi #koipond #winter #gardenpond #fish #wildlife

Blagdon Clean Pond Machine Filter & Amphibious IQ Pump - Review & Installation
Electrical installation is making my teeth itch 🤦♂️
I have 5 plants in my 800+ pond. Is this enough? What's enough plants?
Those are toads bc of the skin
I don't understand why we need to convert to feet. I must be missing a point here?
It depends where you buy it from but our suppliers usually have it marked up in feet and we have been doing it that way for years so old habits die hard I guess 🤣
Did you have two sets of filters? Or one skimmer and one filter? And was one was a screenmatic maybe? I am surprised that the return back to the pond was so strong. Was it really that strong with only gravity? Thanks!
Makes sense, thanks!!!
Just bought the 2500 for £70, £94,99 elsewhere. Thanks p0ndman.
Great advice thanks 👍… I use a 9000 pressure filter as a pre-filter for a large 3 bay filter on my 7000 litre pond with Koi and they work well together. I just flush the pressure filter and the first bay now and again and rarely ever flush the last 2 bays.
For mine.. it's just the machine that does the pulsing. Not the nozzle. (When I turn it on it immediately starts pulsing. Without pressure/water though. It's just little energy bursts.) Anyone know anything about that? 😬
Toads!! You can tell by their skin
I just purchased the Oase Biosmart 10000 and your video is very helpful in understanding the extra parts to purchase for making a cleaner look around my pond. I have had my large pond running over the years using a pressure filter, gravity filter, and even a pool filter without sand media, but this is the first large size gravity filter that I hope will be the last filter I ever have to purchase. I am looking forward to being subscribed to your channel now for future pond pointers.
amazing 🥰One more thing is missing, namely koi fish 😁
Thanks for all the excellent advice. That pond you show at the end is beautiful!! I'm planning on making what's probably more like a drinking puddle for the wildlife in my garden! I thought lining it with gravel would be the way to go but now, following your advice, I will keep it free of stones and just make the perimeter as attractive and accessible as possible. I'm off to check out your other vids now, to see if I can find anything that looks more like my puddle! 😂
May I ask what the best solution is for a wall caving in on my pond? Is it due to water getting between my liner and the soil? Someone told me it was a mud slide.
Hi it can depend but most ponds we have come across tend to have too much weight around the sides like large stones/rocks which have no re-enforcement under neath like a good concrete base etc to spread the weight
Great video
Any advice regarding a stream?! Gravel in the bottom… do we leave it running… how deep?
I got one three years ago it lasted 11 months. Got a more expensive one and gone again even with a 40-year guaranty, and when we got it, they won't blame the installer. Not the product. F-----g s--t stuff doesn't tack the risk. If it had gone down another 6 inches, I would have lost them all.
Sorry to hear that but it hasn’t been installed correctly thnx for the comment
Im in the planning fase and my pond wil be around 25.000 liter. I want to put in a vario pump with max capacity of 30.000 liter/hour. Would a 4 inch amd 2 inch bottom drain be wise. (4 inch on the far end)
I heard it was supposed to move smooth pebble, the gravel holds onto muck I don’t know just something heard that’s what I used and it’s been great big, med, and small pebble
Is a 2.5 foot deep pond alright for koi during winter
????
I basically agree with everything, it must be mention, if the length and girth of the Pond is too little for the carrying capacity of fish too many plants can starve the water of oxygen at night, wich can be an issue during a severe powercut. I believe you said chemicals in the filter, dont know if I misheard or misunderstood if you where just referring to the benificial bacteria.
Toads
this video is wrong waste pipe is not abs pipe its made out of pvc yes you can by abs pipe but dont confuse that with pvc waste pipe. as for pvc pressure pipe its stronger and more resistant to uv vs waste pipe that has a thinner wall.
It’s abs: www.floplast.co.uk/soil-and-waste/abs-solvent-waste
How have you treated the water whilst it’s from the hose
What amp fuse do you use for the plug.
Lots of so called pond experts here on RUclips, but id say you're the only one who tells it how it is!
Excellent information, thank you.
Thanks for sharing this information! We live in the tropics with heavy rains and fish as well as the water lilies are doing well 🪷
I'm so glad I found this video! I've been stuck at this point in my pond build.
Hello, I have oase 40000 installed and after the first start the water level is not above the filters. it's good? Thank you. Nice video
I’ve gone crazy with plants in my koi pond and the fish love nibbling on the plants and I’ve put in 60 moss balls the water is crystal clear
My pond is 2.5 foot deep is that enough for koi ?
Hello! What is used to attach the plant baskets to the sides?
hello here is a question as you know liner makers have seams on their liners to cut costs down is this an issue when installing tank connectors ? some times a seam is in a place you dont want it to be can this be worked around with. many thanks
I have the same one, but it only pulses when I’m using it at the highest pressure setting on the regular jet. Have tried your suggestion but it’s still the same
Rocks add biological filtration to a pond.
I get your point but can you imagine how boring it would be for a fish to live in a black room with nothing in it .
I have a mature koi pond . With 27 fish . I have treated them for Costa and fluke killing my filter bacteria so adding fish slowly is not an option because there already in there . I have stopped feeding but ammonia is creeping up still nitrite is still fine . What do you suggest other than small daily water changes regards Ben
Props to the owner for picking a good project to attempt while the WHO were doing the same
Will anything try to eat your expensive koi?
Gravel did not cause this.
...and I see macroplastic in there, too. OH! And, uh, FHRITP!
Your not filtering your pond fast enough I’m no keyboard warrior I’m a certified pond installer and you won’t have that issue if you circulate your water quick enough through your filters
Just have mud imstead then 😂
I couldnt agree more! Its refreshing to see somebody finally call the Koi people out.😎
That’s just a flow and filtration issue..
Does it stop herons aswell? :) What is the fix for herons?
Always several schools of thoughts. Personally I love the rocks and pebbles. Yes they will change color as your pond matures. I do end up cleaning some algae off a few rocks and my waterfalls. As to the build up at the bottom. I can stir up the pebbles and get very little debris floating out. I’ll throw in some muck reducing bacteria every so often. My plants are all in baskets. Lots of water movement plus koi constantly stirring things up and grazing helps as well. I don’t do any major cleaning once a year either. I use a sieve pre filter then biological at my waterfalls. One small bog filter waterfall too. Plants simply thrive in that. To each his own and every pond is different. This works for me on all levels. On one more note personally I think you need a nicer background than sitting in your truck to make these videos. I do enjoy listening to you but think some different pictures to break things up a bit would be nicer. But again that’s just me. Thank you. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks if you listen to what we say, we clearly say ideally use rocks around the edge but don’t fill your entire pond with them. Gravel on the bottom is pointless as it just silts up and acts like huge sponge that cannot be maintained. Please make better videos with your own background to share with everyone.
@@thep0ndman I DID listen to what you said. And that’s your opinion. In my case the pebbles are not causing a problem. And I was only offering constructive criticism , no need getting your panties in a wad. And yes my channel is coming soon. Then I suppose you can critique me . Have a great day 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Brilliant and very important tip for every new pond owner. Thanks 🙏
No problem 👍
