It's simple to create a simple mini fish pond for you back patio, deck or garden. In today's guide I will walk you though an easy tutorial that will highlight all the necessary equipment and where to find everything you need online. A mini fish pond can technically be created using any vessel that will hold water and typically sits above the ground, no digging required! If you find yourself here but want to learn about creating a small in-ground pond with an insert, here is an article we made previously. Some people use large planter pots, others use pre-fabricated above ground pond kits that are available from a few retailers. Today, we will cover a simple and cheap diy pond that can be made with only a few easy to find parts and pieces. Check out the full blog post here: aquaproshq.com...

OMG I just made one yesterday, thanks to your old video...
BTW try lotus plants, duckweed and isopods...
@@primalsurvivor7000 How big is your pond?
@@unusualaquariumecosystems5805 bucket size....
Holds 6 species like salvinia, duckweed, pennywort, water lettuce, lotus, frogbit
The blog article is gone!!!😭😭
Honestly, watching you just shank a plant was kind of relaxing in an odd way and I don't know why. You are just super awesome, keep it up!
That was cool.
Excellent shanking form!
excuse me. What?
Right?! That was amazing!
I found it slightly disturbing lol
legit thx for going through bit by bit as u go, nice to see the whole process instead of just pure broll or time lapses

If you are worried about zinc, maybe put a pond liner in it?
This might be a dumb question but is the soil from the potted plants safe? Worried about added fertilizer in the killing fish
I am wondering the same thing over here
Not a dumb question. If the plant was purchased at a garden center, rinse the roots off well and repot the plant in inert clay soil. Or purchase the plant from a pond supply store.
Plant soil is safe to put in water as long as it is old soil, which has much lower concentrations of chemicals, fertilizers, etc. New soil is not good in aquatic planters
I have an outdoor pond ecosystem with daphnia snails guppies and plants and without us feeding it it has been going for almost three months
Sounds like you have managed to let nature take its course. Would love to hear the particulars of the set up.
Is it still going?
Thanks for the video,i have an old tub of my mother's,been wanting to make a water garden.didn't know where to start,just want plants,will mosquitos get in the water?
Check out my newest video, all about mosquito contol!
I have just been given a little metal tub like yours, so this video was super helpful. Thank you for sharing 😁👍
I would think that using this tub is going to create excess heat in the middle of the summer whereby creating problems not just for the plants but you don’t wanna cook any fish
I've seen ponds with sareacenia, that would be so cool.
OMG I made one Yesterday!!!!!
your probably fine with the galvanized steel but if you didn't want to take it one step further you could always spray it with something like plastidip given a bunch of coats.but honestly I seen people do it to and they never had a problem. Ps thanks for a great vid.
Dank 🤠🤠🤠
@@AQUAPROS They Make paint on Liner called Pond Shield.
Thank you for that me and gf is planning to move to a new apartment and some points I'm hoping to get a balcony so I can build an outside pond for my 3 turtles I have
Awesome!
You got the solar panel why not get a battery to run the pump at night. That solar panel should be good to change a battery. Looks good 👍
Genius! This is why I make vids 🤯
Just a low powered air pump with sponge filter will do. You can get off the shelf solar ones with a battery built in. It will probably never run flat.
Love this video! Got a question for you: We're setting up a small pond (ca. 17 gal) for the first time, and thought we did things well enough to be pre-cycled . . . used a large, established sponge for bio-filtration, started out with transferring water from established tanks, loaded up on plants from established aquariums . . . but the nitrite (middle step in cycle) is still reading high -- though the nitrate is also increasing daily. What would you do to get it ready to add fish? Add some bacteria supplement (e.g. "Cycle")? Water Change and assume the best since nitrate is being produced? Add another established sponge filter? Just curious.
try using safe start
Lemme guess, you’re using. A plastic storage tub with rope handles? I’ve been looking at those :)
Are u really a folk if u didn’t know about dis
I killed my goldfish in a galvanized container. It usually happens slowly. So you don’t know why they died. But goldfish live for a long time when properly cared for. If the water is being changed daily, or the container is old, then it is ok. But if the water is not being changed often, (DAILY) then it slowly poisons them.
Hi, do you drill holes in the tubs, in case it may rain to stop over flow?
Do you do water changes?
Galvanized is not good for fish, beside the galvanized leaches out zinc, which is good for plants, other animals, but not fish. There are several studies on the zinc from galvanized tanks and the dangers it has on fish. I took my 100Galloon back due to that. I hope all is OK with your fish.
I don’t think your suppose to put fish in a metal container.
The zinc will contaminate the water
What does the pump do? Filter? Oxygen or what?
Idk even know if I'm first cus yt is broken oooof!
Why don't you cut off the top rim of the pots of the pond plants? I think it would look a lot better without those above the water line. Or do you want to keep the rim above the water so the fish won't get in there?
I think thats a great idea!!!!! Thank you very much 🙏
wow this is so relevant my aunt gave me a little pond today!
do these miniponds attract/produce mosquitos?
Yes they sometimes can but once you add fish they will eat any mosquito larvae!
nice mini pond there :D "D cheers
I'm so glad I found your videos!!! Thanks, this is great. I can't wait to make my pond!
Yay!
That’s going on my list. Can’t wait to see how it progresses. Good luck.
Great video with good ideas! I also literally live 15 minutes away from the Monterey Beach!
Thats cool! Although im not sure what the "laws" are regaurding that sand, I know many businesses have lost thier ability to mine for it or whatever. You might be chill tho if ur just gettin a lil bit, world is crazy tho so watch yo back 🤔🤠🤠🤠🤗😇
@@AQUAPROS I agree with you!
👍😁👊
Hey Mike! How's this pond doing? I just made my own pond with that exact same tub, but I noticed the water gets pretty warm after a while. It is in direct sunlight from morning up until 2 or 3 ish I think. I created a make shift cover for half the tub today, so we'll so how it holds up tomorrow during the day. Do you recommend me moving it to a shaded area? I'm scared if I do the pond plants won't get their daily sunlight. I also added some "fatheads" and they all died after a couple minutes. Even when I let them adjust through the bag. Just added a water pump today and there's also a small filter which really doesn't do much
It sounds like the water was oxygen depleted when you added the fish.
Latitude and temp affect how hot the water gets, and how much aeration is needed.
My friend in Dubai has to keep the pond in shade after 8 am, and has to run a pump and fountain from 8 am to 10 pm so the water doesn't overheat. They also had to select fish that matched the temps, and have the fish imported.
Keep 75% of the surface covered with floating plants (and not more than 85%) to reduce evaporation.
Can you tell me the name for the metal container?
Also what type of plastic container you recommend for keeping turtle?
Unless you get fish, that’s just asking for mosquitoes to come lay in it
yes same question?
3:30 he clearly says he intends to add fish later
Adding flow greatly declines the prospect of mosquitoes laying larva. Adding fish will just about keeping as close to zero a naturally possible.
mosquitos like stagnant water. he spent a great deal of time talking about and showing the pump and filter. did you miss that?
Just use mosquito bits or discs, no harm to fish or plants😉
Read reviews that it's not a good material as a pond, let alone for fish. Also heard stories about them leaking. The plastic barrel is much better and doesn't bow. They also come in 20+ gallons and cost only around $30.
Great video mike, got me thinking weather to give it a go now
Geat video! I am making an exact mini pond for my back deck. Just wanted to know what kind of grasses did you use? Are they especially for water or ponds? I got some water hyacinths. THanks!
You can look at marginal reeds, sedges and grasses to select good pond / bog plants.
This is great already
Nice🤓👍Thnx for sharing this
Ehm... metal tub with fishes = BAD IDEA!
Is it possible to DM you to throw an idea your way that I've had for the past decade to make a pond on my deck it seems crazy and I haven't seen anything close to what I've imagined that I want to do
Beautiful pond. Well done 👍🏻
I wanna replicate this just for my goldfish
For everyone else : Have an amazing day and don't give up on your dreams, Stay home stay safe ))
How about get out and get some fresh air and stop being afraid of a 99.6% survival rate.
@@_Miss_Maryhow about using over 2% of your brain matter and not being a POS?
Mike bringing out that knife at least once per video 😂
🔥🔥 Dope set up 🔥🔥
How do you control the temperature? I've been wanting to turn a kiddie pool into a pond, but the temperature gets so high on hot days!
Simple: you can't. The water needs to be deep for fish to be able to move around in the correct temp. That's why lakes always have living fish, summer and winter.
If you need pond plants and your located near or in Toronto Big Al's has some huge XL plate sized water hyacinth and water lettuce, got my 3 for $25.
(Was a deal going on at the time)
big als is dead this spring
Awesome video! Keep up the great content. 👍
This is what happens when people wrong Fish Tank Mike. 2:30
Lolllls
If you are concerned about leaching you can use a spray epoxy from home depot or lowes. It's cheap and eliminates the mixing required of standard epoxy so anyone can do it
Does it neeeed a filter? Don't they keep rice fish no filter in Japan? Or is that just bad practice like keeping bettas in bowls?
I remember you’re tank where you OD’d with C02. Happened to me when dosing Excel. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known how to save them
Ironic you say this! I came home to my CO2 diffuser popped right off my airline hose and it was just pumping into my tank. My boyfriend was home an hour prior to me so I know it happened within the hour or so. My fish were on the verge of death I think. And I instantly started doing water changes I did a 100% water change I’m sure. And had NOT ONE FATALITY!!!!! all of my fish and shrimp bounced right back and are all still alive. ( this was around Christmas). sooooo thankful for Mike because I also probably would not have known what to do either!
I have a school of 20 serpae tetras and only 2 passed away. I was sad but relieved that I saved most of them. They were gasping for air just like in fish tank Mike’s video.
Glad you saved em!!!!
What happened with excell ?
Dam I need one of those floating plants hyacinth but I believe I can’t buy them in California
Awesome video... But is the plant fertilizer fish safe?
What brand is the stronger pump?
Very interesting, Thanks!
I used a metal container too then I got scared of electrical shock but never got shocked but still want to use one I guess it's safe ?
Looks great...but won't it be hard to see white fish against the light sand?
If you want to remove the zinc coating use vinagar
The soil that the plant came in- did you have to throw out the soil and put new soil in before putting it in the pond?
Neat, looks cools really cool 🤓
I've watched so many of these beautiful ponds! I've noticed the aquarium chemicals.... Would the chemicals hurt my birds that bathe in it or drink from it? It's not so much for fish as it is for frogs and birds
What chemicals???? Water conditioner and beneficial bacteria? These are all safe 🫡
Definitely gonna try this
Hey there😁 I live in Las Vegas and am building a pond for my small patio at my apartment in the next 2 weeks. I'm experienced with ponds but it's been about 5 years since I've had a house with a yard. I get great morning sun until about noon but not a lot of light the rest of the day. I'd love to have flowering plants, can you recommend a pretty one that would do well in the Las Vegas heat? I will have a stronger current with a waterfall to help cool and oxygenate the water, however I've never had such a small pond. What are your thoughts on the material that would be best to cool the pond? Do you think that a liner is the way to go or a galvanized Steele would be better to keep it cool? Thank you in advance lol
How'd the pond go? I'm also in Vegas and thinking of making one.
Would this be a massive mosquito magnet?
Fish will eat the lavae, if you have no fish, they make misquito dunks that are animal safe and kill the larvae
they like stagnant water, But the fish would eat it.
That too 👍👍👍
Very cool. Thanks!
Use mosquito bits or discs, safe for plants and fish
What to do with ponds like this, with fish, in winter when the water freezes?
Yaaaaa
Is this the 16 gallon tub?
What if u get a big rain and ur pond overflows
Nbd
then there is fresh water on there its all good
And no fish will jump out, I know
Please tell Malayalam I'm don't under
Hi
lol first people watching
Great video. Are there any no-nos in regards to what container to use? Are most pottery coating and glazes pretty safe?
Ive heard people raise concerns about certain glazes, not sure which ones. I thinks odd are you will be fine with whatever you use tho 👍
Interesting idea!
Id put some straps (preferably metal) around the pond to prevent bowing, just so it holds up with time
why it's strong enough i have used it to water cattle on the farm
@@arthurdewith7608 If it wasn't clear enough I was concerned with the bowing. Albeit I have never used one of these so your word is more useful then mine here.
My pond is also galvanized and some of the zinc coating came off
And?
Super cool really like it
I would of washed the sand
You think TriColored Swordtails would work in something that small???
Do you need a pump for a pond?
Pond liner every time...
I’m making one thanks
GWLVANIZED STELEL🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this video!!! I can not wait to do this!!! Can I ask what you do with it in the winter and what do you do with fish in snow weather???
Even hardy fish like minnows shouldn't go in it if the pond is in a full sun area?
If you were to put fish in here what would you recommend using to heat the water
won't it become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and insects?
Under gravel filters clean them up really nicely.
Does the Aquaclear HOB really work outside exposed to the sun and rain? I have an extra AC 50 somewhere that I could put to good use in a setup like this but in rains fairly frequently in Houston, and I wonder if it would work
If your “mini” pond is set up correctly there’s no need for filtration at all. Plants and fish will live of each other. In Japan as well as in tropical locations like S. Florida they fend(the fish and the plants) for themselves. Rainwater is their water change with occasional fish loses. No biggy if fish are reproducing. Lastly a power head or a water jet maybe used to create current, but even that is not necessary but optional. Some fish species do not like heavy flows like the rice fish.
If you added sand wouldn’t it make the water salty
Omg this is awesome do you have more videos like this???
Easy to get mosquito
Add fish
Hi i wonder why you never used your new logo :/ is something wrong?
Coming soon 🥰
🎉
👏
Hii
i thought it been hit by a rain 😂
you said pond 578 times in 10 minutes

0:43
Would the fish survive a frost ?
