Guppy Riparium Patio Pond (No Filter Low Tech)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- I've been thinking about adding a new patio pond to the lineup for a while now. The other ones were cool, but I recently dismantled them to make space in the animal room. I wanted to make this simpler though.
I personally think it's a great no filter low tech solution that's really easy to make. What do you think?

Uploading early today because I'll be on the move from here on. I had a lot of fun with this one and think it's a great low tech solution for keeping guppies. What do you think? Let me know in the comments 👇
There is this cool channel called A.B.S.E. who made a Lego terrarium! Just type lego terrarium and you will find it...
It is titled "The Ultimate LEGO Terrarium"
And you do a turtle ecosystem or some with turtles
@@michaelmyers4589 I know I subscribed to him
@@michaelmyers4589 Yeah I saw it and it was AWESOME!
Thanks Tanner!! Can I please send you my lights!
Please make an update video for this in 3-6 months. Would like to see how it looks after everything has established
Yes!! I'm really considering making this, but first, I wanna see how it turns out!
Really like that too, see if both plants and guppies are alright
@@dinisamante4449 I've made a lot of things like this, they just get better with time. Go ahead and make one if you want to. No need to wait, you'll be pleased with the results (or at least learn a lot if something goes wrong lol)
I'd love to see an update on all his container ponds!
Yes, and include any cleaning & maintenance tips as well.
This is pretty popular amongst rural Japanese homes, my grandparents have made two of these
same. in Singapore, we see these everywhere. especially Lotus in large porcelain vases. my school had one with water hyacinth in it.
Not just rural areas - we have them all over the place in Tokyo too!
😍😍😍😍
Naaaahhhh its not.
@@shakingbones1768 Wahine 🤔 you are?
Aloha nui loa,,
You should make a prehistoric themed aquarium or riparium with the resurrection plant and triops in the water
Would be cool but cooler if you do an natural style scape
Upvoting this idea
Problem with triops is they need their eggs to dry out to hatch, and I think they don't like having organic compounds in their water when hatching. It would be cool though if he could pull it off.
@@markwilson4686 sowhat maybe he does not want babys?
@@henk4700 prehaps so, but he'll only have around 90 days to enjoy them. Don't get me wrong though I would love to see him try to make a naturalistic triop enclosure, preferably one that he can mimic dry periods and have plants that can survive it as well.
I noticed a different method of filming and narration. I like it! The no music and ambient sound is calming.
😍😍😍😍
Yeah he seems to mix it up a lot lately
Gotta keep it fresh and try new things. 😎
This was thefirst time i've heard the phrase "rinse and repeat" used literally haha
😍😍😍😍
Shampoo
Ever since I've started working with plants, I've understood origins of many such idioms or phrases.
And on some shampoo bottles
Lol ye olde shampoo scam. I’ve never in my life needed to shampoo more than once at a time lol wtf Big Shampoo?
This is a perfect project for me and my wife. We were already considering a pond but thought we needed an electrician to get power to the spot for a pump or filter. This just makes it simpler. Thanks
Just make sure its somewhere where the water temp stays a steady temp a keep near a window not directly in front off to the side so when the sun goes down it isn't a huge change an invest in good bacteria. You can also get solar pumps an bubblers as well for water flow. ♡
It's so much fun to have these, and some with little waterfalls! It's easy too- just a little low flow aquarium pump to move the water, very inexpensive! (Less than $20!) Best of luck if you try this! You'll want more than 1, LOL!
It doesn't require a lot of care compared to a lot of other aquatic environments, but don't just assume it's zero maintenance. Make sure it's not directly in the sun for long periods of time because you will get algae growth, maintain temperature, and some movement in the water from a small powerhead would also be a good idea. Be sure to still do small water changed periodically because there still are some elements that can build up from replacing evaporated water over long periods of time. Check your pH, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, phosphorus, etc still to be sure it's all in balance.
@@abalczon you could add shrimp to eat the slgae
Hey, you can make life easier on yourself when using the diamond bit by cutting a sponge to fit inside the drill bit. Soak it in water and you will constantly be automatically adding water !
I'll give you a heart for that comment ❤
Oh that’s super smart!
I’m a year late but this is genius. Thank you.
"Spray them off to maximize substrate removal" 😂 The way you talk brings joy to my soul, your videos always teach me new things and are fun to watch!
Hi Miss Scales and friends 😁
😍😍😍😍
@@zenphotojourney hey momma 😊
Oh my goodness, I love these,. I would like to see more, I'm 77 a senior citizen, I do believe I can make this for my small deck ❤❤❤❤, this will be my happy place 😍
Sounds like Tanner is really embracing the relaxing/ unintentional ASMR crowd, I’m digging it!
This video is still probably one of your best mini pond builds - the simplicity of using terracotta pots to get riparian growth is astounding. I'm gonna try this out for my own balcony pond and the gold white clouds that'll call it home this summer!
So cool! I would to try something like this when my daughter is old enough to learn about ecosystems and participate in maintenance.
Now THATS a responsible parent :)
😍😍😍😍
This remains my favorite build. Both simple and complex, with a lot of subtlety and beauty.
I saw these all over Asia, they had massive pots with aquatic plants and herbs and small koi swimming in them. I guess it's because of their small entrances. But they looked so artistic and charming.
Always wanted to know how to make one, thanks so much! Hope we get to see more of these simple and yet elegant pot ponds!
Your step by step explanation was very good and with low
volume music, so we can hear what’s being explained!
I like it when you come up with these simple and easy diy projects that anyone can build.
First thing I do every Saturday morning, wake up and watch whatever amazing thing Tanner's doing. 😊
Same! I start my coffee and see if its uploaded yet 😂😎
I really really liked this idea, no extra maintenance
I think it is wonderful - both beautiful and peaceful.
Tanner, I love how you’re working on projects like this right now. Planters like this are definitely the trend nowadats
...simple, elegant and beautiful
I love that you take the time to identify with the scientific names every plant you use in your videos, that’s a great resource to find new plants I’d like to try myself! And great project with the pond!
I'd love to see more patio projects. Pond variations that also cater to wildlife like frogs, rather than JUST the depth necessary for captive fish.
I could probably figure out a way to do that, but I'm not nearly as clever or experienced :p
I really like how you had the underwater view at 7:48
Made me think that it could be nice for the fish if there were a few plants in little pots at the bottom? Seemed a little barren from their perspective.
Another beautiful bit of nature brought inside. Your expertise always impresses me.The knowledge of plants, of how living systems work, and the artistry required to create such "simple" works of art are proof that one should never forego an opportunity to learn anything.
Looks beautiful ❤️ I can't wait to poorly attempt this and make a mediocre pond😂
I'm sure you will do a fabulous job 😊
Me too. It won't look like his.
Every iteration of my ponds gets a little better, take heart, everyone's first try is terrible 😄
Stunning as always, 100% the best nature creator on RUclips
One of my favorite videos of yours, super simple to make at home and low maintenance
Love it, you made it all seem so simple to do. I've been researching these ponds and decided I would start with trying to duplicate what you demonstrated. Thanks for sharing!
Despite the beautiful ponds and such you can made with a pump, I think I prefer something easy going like that, not really too expensive and extravagant, but still something very nice, even classy if you plan well where to put it.
Good job and thanks for the originality! 😊
Had this also on my balcony 3 years ago ... guppies were crazy happy and multiplied a lot
Me: “I should probably go to sleep”
RUclips: “ayo perfect timing”
Vibe Vibe 🤙🤙
LOVE these low tech projects
Great video. Teaches us so many things. I liked the calm background too, without cluttering music, so natural. Joy to watch and easy to learn. Thanks for uploading :)
These are so beautiful. I'm starting to make more miniature stuff and find so much inspiration through your channel. I may just have to build a miniature version of a patio pond. ❤️
😍😍😍😍
make sure it's at least 10 gallons if you're adding even the tiniest fish, they will thank you!
Sooooo beautiful, I'm going to set up something like this today! So inspiring 💚
It came out beautifully! Thank you for explaining all your choices. I also like the underwater footage.
looks amazing as always
have a good weekend all of u
Love watching your projects bro! You come up with crazy awesome stuff to build, talk about expanding your imagination! You've given me ideas I know I never would have thought of, thanks so much and can't wait to see what you build next!
Thanks for the low tech version! I may try this in our new home in a few months.
I loved it all, the fish colors, the pond, and the wicker basket used as a lampshade!!
Throughout the week I wait and wait for these episodes to show. I enjoy watching these. Thank you.
This video was so satisfying really man you are making stress busters.
It's beautiful ❤️ my favorite kind of aquariums are ponds of all sizes and this one is just stunning because it's simple.
Beautiful! Can't wait to see it grown in
You are right about the terrestrial plants being the most important in no filter low tech ponds ...for me I always use either pothos or singonium...they are the best natural filters and nitrate absorbers and they really be doing their own water cleaning. Floater plants are also good to complement this natural filter system👍👍👍🌸
That's really nice. Love the low tech & maintenance aspects. 👌
Wow, love this setup. Please make a maintenance video sometime in the future. Love your stuff. Always puts me in a good mood. Thanks :)
It’s gorgeous Tanner, great job
Lovely and peaceful! 🥰
All of your videos are so calming, I don't know how you do it man
I love a fish eye view!
I want more underwater camera shots for everything !
Looove this one! Been thinking of one of these for a while now for my back deck. Perfect, I'll be trying this out for sure!
I’m so happy to find this video. So healing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work. I believe I’ve found my remedy now. ☮️🧜♀️🐸🌿🌸
I’ve used these planters for fish for years! They’re so beautiful.
Your timing of this is pure perfection.
I have been redoing my garden & have considered putting in a low maintenance pot pond.
Go for it!
The voiceover, background music and overall video is so relaxing... love to watch your videos all day 💕💕
I was just talking about making 2 of these... I love how it turned out!
Really enjoyed the underwater footage in the end
I love all your set ups! THIS is one I’m going to do!!!!! You totally ROCK!!❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love learning about low tech plant things, it feels like it is more eco friendly and budget friendly and doesn't require electricity and cables.
Thank you for your videos, I really look forward to learning more about low tech things! (gardening tips? doesn't feel like the right word so I went for things haha)
If you really enjoy low tech, check out Dr Diana Walstad, as well as 1930 back issues of Aquarium Fishkeeping magazines;-)
@@Lazy_Fish_Keeper thank you for the suggestions, I will! :)
That is gorgeous!
Could you do a video about an outdoor wildlife container pond like this sort of idea? But one that's suitable for colder climates? I'm in Scotland and would love to make one but unsure where to start. Your videos are always so detailed and easy to follow.
Are you allowed to collect from the wild?
If yes, look at nature around you. Use local marginal plants, and add local wetlands fish / minnows, etc.
For the winter you can surround with hay bales and put a thermal window on top to prevent freezing, or drop a horse trough heater in to keep one spot clear of ice, or use an insulated pond so that freezing water on top won't bust the pond.
Best of luck!
@@Lazy_Fish_Keeper thank you we live in iowa and ive decided this would be amazing for our porch.
I love this idea and I was thinking about an outdoor Ontario pond-in-a-tank - of course it would have to be emptied at winter time, but I love the idea of having species of tiny insects and fish and amphibians visible through glass. We have a pond but you cant see what goes on in a pond from the top.
We want an update in a few weeks or months 💪
Tanner, I do not often write, but I really enjoy your project and spirit. What a great simple project :).
I just completed my own based on this tutorial and it turned out sweet, thanks mate I love it. Cost a bit more than I anticipated but the reward was worth it in the end.
Hey Tanner, I’ve been looking into DIY birdbath fountains lately, I’d love to see your spin on a great naturalistic one if you’re looking for a new project. ✌️ I bet you could make something fantastic
With voice or without it, your videos are amazing. Love you senpai 🙏
This was a very informative video. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for so long but I keep hesitating because I don’t want to mess it up. This was the best video I’ve seen so far of a set up from start to finish! I think I’ll finally take the plunge! TY!
Those guppies hit the jackpot being bought by you!! They will have a long wonderful life!! It is so beautiful, I have always wanted one but have been intimated by then ...
Another amazing video thanks Tanner 🤙🌱🙂
Ahh you can't hear him like he is sad
My shopping list keeps getting longer with every video 😂👌
😍😍😍😍
In my tiny apartment, wherever will I store the drill and 💎 drill attachment?😁
@@desertflow3r can you rent one? Ask at a home building centre store with a rental department or a specialty tool rental store.
@@desertflow3r I was thinking ... could just buy a strawberry pot that has the holes already in it!
This video is awesome, you explained everything so well. When people aren't allowed to have fishtanks in apartments because fishtanks break, this indoor pond makes it the best for us to own, thank you!
Im glad you put on 2160p on this man. Your new way of putting ambiant bgm is a real smooth move.
For better drilling techniques with those diamond core bits, drill a hole through a dry sponge first, then get it wet and put it on the inside of your bit! As you drill and press through it will release water keeping it more wet while drilling!
It's a neat system, but I'd think an airstone (or two, depending on the size) would be pretty good just to aerate the water a bit - especially as the plants are mostly bog/terra-types and not inside. Tho with little livestock it won't be much a problem (unless they breed uncontrollably lol)
Roots produce oxygen as well!
@@rara5212 I believe the roots actually need oxygen, and don't produce. Oxygen is produced by the leaves that photosynthesize
Your videos are therapeutic as usual. Love it sm✨
Love this project!!
I’m curious where you obtain such a multitude and variety of plants. Some are quite small and I wonder if they’re available like that in a regular nursery or if you have a special source ( not asking for names, just curious about whether you buy ‘in bulk’ or have a place that sells them individually, etc.) This project certainly is beautiful. Well done! (As usual 👏🏻)
Serp!!! Whats up brother Tristan here, we met at aquashella, my son spent the whole ride home researchering pixie frogs. He claims he will name it tanner in your honnor!
You are such a good guy, man. You were the easiest to talk to, and after meeting you the first time felt like we been friends! I didnt want to bombard you but definitely could have spent the day talking to you, picking your brain! It was an honor and inspiration to meet you, i wish you all the continued success! Thanks for all you do!
love how simple this one is
Can’t wait for the collaboration with Kamp Kenan
Oh man, I have a bipinatifidum, a similar syngonium and I want some fish...I might be able to sell this idea to the Mrs 🤘🏼
Your videos are so inspiring, I've been watching and keep thinking about getting a fish tank again. I might give this style a go, so thanks for the walkthrough
I loooove it! Your videos are so amazing and relaxing and ive been stressed out sometimes during covid and quarantining, but your vids make make happy.
That's so beautiful. You've done a great job, those little fish will be quite content living there. I also really like the music, it's soothing.
“Low tech” *Pulls out Diamond tech saw*
True. But there are planters with holes already.
@@tuvelat7302 Yup. If you don't want to drill or can't, you could try Orchid terracotta pots.
Low tech in fishkeeping refers to the equipment used to maintain the ecosystem in the tank. High tech would include things like CO2 injection, sump/canister filters, fertilizers, etc.
A good drill and good diamond head cutter like that will probably put you back $160-$200 at lowes, Kinda expensive but worth having if you're into this hobby enough
Since when did a drill + bit become “high tech” 🤨
Love this. Simplistically beautiful
Absolutely beautiful.
So simple and beautiful. This is one of my favorites. It would be perfect for my front porch. I live in SC and was wondering if the summer heat would cause any problems.
I do something similar, and I live in SC. Just doesn’t need to be in direct sun, and use outdoor hardy plants. Mine gets a splash from the garden house twice a day to help with generating oxygen. My grandmother did the same, in huge clay pots. You will get some algae, but not much. I also use gold fish the same, just not too much. Best wishes 💐
I'm renting a house soon and plan to make an outdoor version (preferably one that frogs can use to breed)! Anyone have any suggestions for riparian plants that would do well in a central Florida setting?
A beautiful feature for any home. Love this!
Beautiful job. Amazing artistry.
Great setup! But every time I’ve removed all the soil from roots, or pulled off roots like that, it’s caused extreme setback in the plants. What are you doing differently that “stimulates growth” as you say?
I’ve always had the best results from not disturbing the roots, not cutting any live roots, and being gentle with roots in general (not breaking any roots).
when you transplant a plant pot to pot, yes you do trim roots.
The plant may seem smaller by trimming it roots and I see he did trim some leaves to clean it up ( big plant in middle) but over next 2-3 months, it'll bounce back fuller and healthier growth.
@@hushpuppyandfriends5115 then what am I doing wrong that removing all the soil or trimming roots leads to a half dead plant and setback 2-3 months just to get it looking the same again?
I love this! Perfect for a beginner like me. I love that you used a philodendron. Would all/most philodendrons work as semi aquatic?
Philodendron and pothos, and sweet potato, believe it or not, are all great for this.
6:21 😂 I’m so glad I’m not the only one using this as a sort of floating plant…
What a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Be careful when cutting or maintaining the philodendron, they have toxic sap - other than that, gorgeous set-up!
