Good evening Ed wow it looks like your having an amazing time. Wow im absolutely speechless at how beautiful these ponds are. The water quality is spectacular. I love that property its like heaven. I would neven need to go anywhere else. So beautiful. Great your getting a look at a different style and seeing how you can incorporate their ideas with your systems. Can't wait to see what the future holds for ponds in the future. Just incredible and im in love whith the white sand bottoms. It looks so good. Im definitely going to see if i can get some white sand and put it in the bottom of my pond. Have an amazing time and hope you all make it home safely. See you next video like always.
Crystal Hurb Thanks Crystal! The sand creates a very unique and beautiful look! If you add sand to your pond make sure it’s well washed to eliminate an potential impurities that may impact your water quality. Ricardo told me they went through a lot of suppliers before they found the right one.
Love these Brazil videos! That Ozone creates some insane water clarity! I love the language you use when explaining things! The funny thing is that after watching your videos for so long I actually understand what you are saying!
amazing...love the explanations of the science! That whole place is beautiful, would be sweet to do a pondo there ;) So how long was Greg slumped over that wall taking photos of the fish lol
Hi Ed, love those Brazilian ponds. I m also thinking of adding ozone to my pond but there is very little information out there. Would you be able to go a bit into details with regards of ozone quantities per gallon that are pumped in these ponds? Also I am a bit afraid that ozone might shorten the life span of the EPDM liner since rubber gets damaged by this gas... what are your thoughts?
Habita GHS The membrane should be fine as long as the system is designed and installed properly. This is because the reactive properties of ozone should be gone by the time it mixes with the main pond. The Ozone is added into a reaction chamber where it mixes with the pond water.
@@edbeaulieu5916 beautiful, I'm just glad to know you're going in that direction. Maybe publish the notes somewhere so other pond enthusiast can learn and do it themselves? Thanks for making the trip!
aqua gardening It can be very dangerous and literally kill everything! It takes an in depth understanding of water chemistry and management in order for it to work. It’s expensive and should not be used to cover any filtration inadequacies.....
@@edbeaulieu5916 I have a portion of my aquarium in sand a some of the fish kicks up the sand which I see an accumulation in the filter. I guess you may have to be mindful of the species of fish that tend to burrow in substrate such as sand you keep such as convict chiclid and this includes usage of circulatory pumps.
I love upflow filters with plants. I read some individuals don't believe they work in northern areas after the plants die back for the season. My thoughts are the layers of rock would still filter. Wonder what your thoughts are.
Love the sand bottom! But wouldn't the decomposing matter in anaerobic pockets create H2S which when released is harmful to the fish? Or is that concept just a myth!
Hello Ed... do you think we could pull off a sand bottom, without ozone, up in Canada (Montreal area, specifically).... with the freezing , while keeping a shallow area as well as a deeper area for winter hibernation?
No, You still need a mechanical filter to capture and remove large debris and organic compounds, This is still an important step otherwise the Ozone system will not be able to keep up with the nutrient load

I love your job🐡👍👍👍
Ultimate Hvac Thanks!!!
Love the sand bottom. The water clarity is amazing.
Susan B I need to incorporate more of it on our designs!
I REALLY love the sandy bottom! Like you said, it really makes the fish stand out!
Linda Leslie It’s beautiful!

Ed, when I watch your videos, I feel like I’m in college again, and that’s a good thing. I really enjoy your scientific explanations.
Hingeback Tortoise Central Thanks for the Compliment and for your support!
so colorfully gorgeous. just gorgeous. one of my favorites.
rafiqa 1 Mine too!

All Aquatics Incredible Ponds!
I love their white sand bottoms.
Jeff K Me too!
Lush Brazil!!! I live in a desert. So WOW
JOHN DUFOUR It’s beautiful!!!
Gorgeous!
Zokomo TV They do incredible work!
The creek is what I want!!!! Love the natural feel
Marlina Kessler Yes!!!
I love that stuff too!
Amazing indeed, thank you for showing!

Shawn Baker Hahaha.....
I love it!
The sand bottom is amazing would love to see it in more water features.
TheBraindoc It creates a dramatic effect!
So beautiful!
Thanks!!!
I love this contents!thank you💖❤
Rosalinda Gallarza Thanks for your support!
Thanks for sharing Ed, absolutely incredible water features and plants in Brazil!
Daniel Stanza Thanks for watching Dan!
It’s a beautiful place!
Beautiful fish pond
Yes!!!
I’m glad you guys had fun here in Brazil, I was surprised when I saw the vídeos. I wish I could have met you guys
Thanks for the lesson Ed!
Love this content!
RLC Aquatics Awesome!
Thanks for the feedback!
SO BEAUTIFUL COLOR

Dalmatian Lawn Care and Pressure Washing, LLC. Thanks for your support they’ve created some incredible ponds!
Greg loves taking pics!
Love the why you explain thing's
Thanks for watching and listening Katrina!!!
Very very interesting using biological filtration along with UV ozone
The Fishy Life ! They don’t leave anything to chance!
Ozone in reef keeping Ed....for more research ...amazing stuff ...the fish are stunning on video can't imagine it all in person
Sammy31Dee Yes, it’s much more common in reef tanks, Ozone becomes more difficult outdoors due to changing climatic conditions

The poor pleco’s have nothing to do. They just sit there and stare at a perfectly polished pond. I want this paradise!
Will you do a seminar on how they build their ponds?
Miguel Rodriguez Yes but not sure when?
@@edbeaulieu5916 beautiful, I'm just glad to know you're going in that direction. Maybe publish the notes somewhere so other pond enthusiast can learn and do it themselves? Thanks for making the trip!
Miguel Rodriguez I’ll definitely keep posting notes and details of what we learn along the way......
@@edbeaulieu5916 beautiful, I'm assuming you'll post them on future videos?
hello professor i have some questions about ozone...... what are the pros and cons of using ozone? .... is it harmful to fish if overdosed?
aqua gardening It can be very dangerous and literally kill everything!
It takes an in depth understanding of water chemistry and management in order for it to work.
It’s expensive and should not be used to cover any filtration inadequacies.....
Does having a sand bottom accumulate in the pump vaults therefore increasing maintenance?
+1 Good question
pmarshall2006 They didn’t mention any challenges like that and I didn’t notice any problems

I love the sand, but can it be done safer?

Brad Parker you’re correct
Brad Parker That’s exactly what happens! The high surface area of the gravel is a very effective biological filter!
✌🏼
Ed, Would it be possible to do the same sand bottom without the ozone?
Akash Tomer Yes,
We’ve done a handful of projects with sand bottoms and no ozone with success but you need adequate benthic circulation
What kind of sand is being used in those ponds?
Love the sand bottom! But wouldn't the decomposing matter in anaerobic pockets create H2S which when released is harmful to the fish? Or is that concept just a myth!
Akash Tomer It will definitely happen but the addition of Ozone and good circulation keeps this from occurring
Hello Ed... do you think we could pull off a sand bottom, without ozone, up in Canada (Montreal area, specifically).... with the freezing , while keeping a shallow area as well as a deeper area for winter hibernation?
hows the sand so clean and algee free?
How do they diffuse the ozone under the sand?
Through a PVC Pipe System with multiple outlets
So. With the ozone system you don't need mechanical filter?
No,
You still need a mechanical filter to capture and remove large debris and organic compounds,
This is still an important step otherwise the Ozone system will not be able to keep up with the nutrient load
@@EdThePondProfessor Got it, Prof.
I don't think the fish look as healthy as the ones in your designs. I saw a lot of stressed looking fish.
I didn’t notice???
Nope I prefer the natural ponds
