Seems like way too big and overkill for that small pond.

Bacteria, clarifier, barley straw extract, filtration.

You need more flow

4:53 bulkhead fittings are biggest rip-off. ~$19 each at Home Depot. They are less then $2.00 each if you buy black compression bulkhead fittings online…no caulk or sealant…compression!

Hi could you help me please

doing alright just fucked up my parents back yard you no just learning

i maybe late to comment as i just watch this video .... think u need a Radial Flow Settler .. check this guy video ruclips.net/video/sBCC9tMsleY/видео.html

Got dizzy....

"My family over feeding the fish".... this gave me second hand guilt lol.

The fish looked very active, it indicates they getting their 0²

Get your self a 1 gallon paint filter and put it on your skimmer.

I have 8 of those barrels, I am about to use 4 of them to make my filtration, they are 63 gallon pickle barrles, I am using mine to make a pressurized pond filter pumping 3300 gph, any tips on the plumbing?

Hello How did you fit return pipes did you put holes in wood for return pipes and how did you fit them ?

I live in Indiana & made 1, I'm wondering if it will freeze in the winter if you have cold winters like we do does it freeze ? if so what have you done to keep it from freezing? I was thinking bubble wrap around it.

Did you add a few bolts along the length of the pond or just at the ends?

10 Nice back yard beautiful koi pond thank for up date and share I am fan Subscribe to you Just build me a small pond just like you my is 8 feet long 3 feet wide 3.5 deep we have very small yard....

You would have way more success if you filled those 55’s with more media.

5min video turns into 15 min explaining a hole .

Shut up, hold still and get on with it! 3,265 flip around pictures of a bulkhead fitting is not all that helpful. But luckily we had closeups of a hole saw!

I am looking at changing the pond at my new house to be bigger and after having an in ground, I was looking at an above ground or partially in ground pond and using either 4x4 pressure treated lumber or landscaping timbers for the above ground portion was my idea. I like your design, but with regards to the shifting issues, I am going to try drilling holes about every foot or 18 inches and pounding in rebar so it goes down about a foot below the bottom of the pond for extra stability. I also think I might try steel L brackets along the corners to help hold it together though I think I will paint them black to look nicer with the wood. Thanks for the updates.

It’s like when you girlfriend wants, and you only got a toothpick. Why fish keeper always want a bigger canister, cause bigger canister can hold more bio media. Water pass though the media, the beneficial bacteria will do their job. But with such little media, the bigger the canister is, the more water will pass by, not pass though the media. You can put more media, or just change to a really small container, which the media will just fill it up, that will make sure most of the pumped water will pass through the media, that will work much better, and the water will become crystal clear

Add an air stone into it and k1 media that will help

put a right angle on the swirl filter input, below the surface, swirl in a clockwise motion.

Awww! Problem No.1 eh! I think you need to put battern screws through each join both ways being careful that the timber doesn't split as it has weathered now and uou could drill down through the timber and tap some rio or threaded rod down through the timber into the ground which will support the sides from bowing out. Just a little tip that worked for me. Good Luck man..

I like your pond .. that is what I have been visualising for my garden. How's your pond going now?

Hi.. how would you hide that so it isn't such an eye sore?

check the direction of your swirl. I believe northern hemisphere water like to swirl clockwise & vise versa.

You need to route the water down to the bottom to swirl it down there.

“...the previous person who lived here, had a uh....uh... child or something...and uh they were living inside of...this sandpit...or something..” 😂😂😂

The swirl part is not going to efficient. Put a elbow on it and run to the bottom of the barrel. The pit a tee on the bottom of the pipe and have a some 45 or 90 degree elbows coming off the tee. That will cause a significant swirling motion going from the bottom to the top of your barrel.

you would be better off using a higher diameter pipe for inlet and outlet, that will give you a faster flow rate

Use polyester in the swirl filter it will clean up in 48 hours

That if all your water run through your uv light it will zap all your good bacteria as well ?

If your pond is in the sun,build a simple awning or put up a shade cloth...that will drastically help with algae. Also , I'd get an aquatop UV sterilizer submersible pump for inside the pond as well. Getting a small air pump and putting an airstone inside the pond will help. I noticed you don't have much movement in the pump. An underwater circulation pump will help . I would do it all

Very nice but I would upgrade your pump to increase the filter turnover.

nice job...

Over kill for that little pond mate 😂 great if you got a 30,000 gallon pond tho

I would add more media and put your uv on the return after the filter on the return. You would have even better results..

Can we get an update? Nice pond

Gravel filter!!!

Hi, nice pond. Please explain the multiple drops from the tube that's inside the filter?

You need a better filter at lease move the intake away from the out spout.

I was just watching a few pond filters in a row, and one guy mentioned that if you run your pond input water close to your pond pump then it does not allow for a full pond swirl. Then he showed how by running your entrance water to the exact opposite side of the pond as far away from the pump as you can get it, that it creates a large swirl and changes out the most amount of water possible. I would say, that if you were to extend your white pvc pipe to the opposite side of your pond as far away from your filter, then you would have an even cleaner pond than you currently do. If you do make this update, make a new video showing the before and after..

No point waiting a month before introducing your fish. You need fish to help bacteria generate and survive.

Wouldnt the uv work better on the back end after filtration?

i don't like the filter you put in you could put something better even without the filter i think your pond would work better

Very nice pond

Nice pond water excellent new subscriber Barry Manchester England 👍 👍

Great work on DIY filter very interesting new subscriber Barry Manchester England 👍 👍 👍
