    I’m only a couple of minutes in but I can help you with your blanket we problem. Blanket weed is not a problem it’s actually a photosynthesising plant so it’s really good for your pond. Also you noticed that your fish were displaying breeding behaviour but if you don’t have any surface for them to lay their eggs on The blanket weed is a good surface of a love laying eggs on. I would recommend that you buy some gravel wash it and then put at least 2 inches in the bottom of the pond. Secondly, you need to plant the pond up with pond weed of the oxygenating type. Horn wart is great as it is free floating as it grows. It will use up the nitrates in the pond and help balance the pond. Another good oxygenator is Canadian pondweed (elodea Canadensis). You could even put a couple of small watermelons in there. All of the surfaces will attract nitrifying bacteria which will reduce the potential for ammonia or nitrogen spikes in a natural way without using chemicals. What you can’t see is a microbial life, there will be billions of micro organisms living in the pond if you let it develop naturally Whenever you get an algal bloom, it’s a sign that nature is trying to redress the balance for you. That blanket weed that you removed is really good fertiliser for your vegetable patch or your flowers and plants and chuck it away. Put it on your garden. If you get the balance right you won’t need any filters in your pond, I once kept a goldfish called Barney alive for 12 years in a large flower pot. I never fed him and there were no filters of any kind other than natural gravel and plants in the pond Barney became quite tame but sadly in the deep freeze about 10 years ago, he froze to death When the pot iced up completely …. I should’ve moved it into my garage but I was away for a week when the freeze hit. Bare this in mind. I know the winters have been mild in the UK recently, but if a freeze comes make sure you keep the water moving or put an inflatable ball on the surface of the pond and let the air out and deflate it to expose area of surface water. Good luck.

      Wow, I want to first thank you for taking the time to write so much! I really do appreciate all the input I get from people watching my videos. It’s a massive reason I make them in the first place. I definitely see your points regarding planting up the pond and this providing a way to balance out the pond as well as somewhere for eggs to be laid. I think next summer I will take your advice and add lots of oxygenating plants! Also I had not heard of the watermelon trick, very good advice. Thanks again I really appreciate it!

    I would assume filtering should go least dense to densest, so the biggest particles are stopped by one layer, then smaller bellow and smaller bellow that. If you have filter floss on top, it's stopping everything before it even gets to the sponges, they're still growing good bacteria though so it might not matter if you're doing matenance (replacing the floss) often enough :)

    • @fatheadedfish
      @fatheadedfish 4 месяца назад
