Thanks to your video i went to lowes and bought a 20 gallon pond liner, cleared a corner of my bedroom. Had two 8ft boards of hardwood plywood in the same room begging for a project...halfway done building a bottomless and topless box with oak top rails. For the substrate i got some gravel and river rocks from my backyard
I built the same exact one last year for koi. They come inside for the winter. I added LED strip lights under the rim and a small fountain that has a foam filter head. As well as underwater lighting. I looks great at night.
This is going to be my summer 2022 project. I have chosen the largest basin that our Tractor Supply has, and in the meantime, I'll be viewing your video many many times before starting it. You make it look so easy and I hope it is.
I did the same but put a small table on the side and added a pump and filter water fall going back I to it. Easy. And I love the sound of a water fall. Better filter than sponge filters and you get your aeration. Love my fishes!
I've watched a lot of fishkeepers over the years. But what's funny, is in this video you took my approach, literally, tractor supply and then Lowes.... Lol. But I will say I have the same air pump, and I have been running it for 6 months outside without issues. I have my golds and koi in the Rubbermaid 100 gal, oh along with my Cori cats. I love the outtro
side note the best way to prewash rocks is to just make a small hole for the hose to fit in and just wash the rock still in the bag. You can move the bag around and poke small drainage holes.
Just seen your video, nice. My question is about koi fish. I have the basic tank you have, but I have a 50 gallon tank on top, bottom one filtering to top one, than back down to the bottom. I have 4 gold fish all 4", and 5 koi, 3- 9", 2-6". Is that to many on the bottom tank. Filter and pump are great.
@@pedromedina770 i have 5 koi and 1 goldfish in an outdoor shallow pond only about 500 gallons and they grow huge unless you never feed them, they are always looking for food would like to have one several times as large for koi. the koi are around 24 to 30 inches and goldfish is about 10 inches. they grew that big in about 5 years.
I have that tank. It works really well. I've had it in above-ground use for 5 years now and I can say that it's just finally starting to give way (ie bend outward) to the water pressure. I'm in the Texas Gulf Coast where we are hot and humid and the pond is in full sun most of the day. We always planned to install rock wall around the tank to help support it/hide it, but we never did. We plunked it on the ground and never looked back. LOL
If you get some bowing you can always buy another one and stack them for maximum support. Still worth the price. Also helps if you put it in the ground with the dirt or sand to help support it.
What fish do you have in it and how do you deal with algae growth? I've been running my setup here in NW Houston for approx. 4 months now. In full sun about 10 hours a day and its practically impossible to keep the water clear of algae. Also starting to worry about what I'm going to do with the fish come winter.
This is exactly what I was looking for. We already have the tank and I spent hours trying to do research on Amazon for a filter & pump. We have 8 goldfish in there that managed to survive the winter, avoid the raccoons and didn't launch themselves out of the tank.
I already have a fully stocked fresh water pond on my property. I want to build a fresh water pond seperate from my large pond for fresh water shrimp. The shrimp supplier does not recommend putting the shrimp in the same pond as my fish. Thank you for your videos. I love that they are simple and easy to understand.
Put a school of creek chubs in it! They would be fun to keep, very energetic and easy to catch with any bait. Also you could catch a few crawfish from the creek while you are at it!
Good stuff. One more money saving trick.. Every Lowe’s has pallets of slightly “damaged” bags that are 50% off. You just have to find a loading employee and ask. Soil, Mulch, Gravel ect ..
Perhaps you could take the kids fishing and put what they catch into the pond. I'm always a fan of goldfish ponds otherwise. As for the rest of this video, this is actually something I've been starting to think about a pond and this has given me valuable insight as in how to do it. Looking forward to that DIY filter video too.
I was wondering when you where going to do a outdoor pond! I think more fish keepers by stock tanks than ranchers lol. As for fish I would like to see you put sunfish in it, they are hardy enough to take the weather changes for where you live and you could always put a heater in it during the winter. Keep it up Zac!
Haha I think I was just putting off an outdoor pond for no reason! I'm excited about this one man! I like the sunfish idea! Hardy, active and fun to feed!
lava rock piled around a pump that pushes water up to a planter basket filled with your choice of substrate and plants, with holes drilled on the opposite end to return water back to the tank. A light substrate over the rest of the tank bottom helps to see the fish easier (assuming the water is clear).
I have a similar plastic pond like yours that is over 20 years old and I never had any problems with it. I'm really into frogs. So with water lilies I have plenty of frogs in there. They breed tadpoles in there and eats all the mosquito larvae. I need another plastic one which is fixed near my other one because bullfrogs are so cool
I set up my first outdoor pond this year. 100g with a DIY planter box filter(for fun) and I put my white cloud minnows in and I have A LOT of fry already. so much fun seeing that happen. This build makes me want to buy another one and put my OSCAR outside for the summer to colour him up.
I literally last week set up the exact same set up for an outdoor pond here in Florida. Been running the same pump in my other pond for two years outside with no issues. In my 300 gallon pond. I love seeing someone else doing what I’ve been doing for a few years now! I’d love to know how to share some pictures with you of my ponds
Last year i got the tuff stuff brand of stock tank from TSC for $84.99, 110 gallon. I like it better than the rubbermaid bc like the one you got, the sides on the inside and outside are smooth and it is way cheaper better bang for your buck. I had endlers in it and they did great, even in NW Indiana winter, but then the outlet the heater and filter were plugged in to fried at the end of winter (January) and i lost everything in it. Except some snails and plants. So now i have it in a different outlet on it's own breaker box and it's been running great ever since. I moved some mutt guppies in to it (6) and this summer i am setting up a few more of these stock tank ponds for different morphs of guppies and maybe even some severum in one bc i need a cull fish for the ones who are deformed and i don't have the heart of clove oil them.
I like that idea on the set up. Probably will need some floating plants to help the filtration a bit. As far as fish lets go with some shiners, sculpins and smaller natives.
@@SCFishKeeping hey man loved the videos of the stock tank pond and set one of my own up and have been wondering what you would recommend for heating it mine is set up out side and i live in Illinois where winter can get harsh got any tips?
I live near a lake so I buy bait goldfish cheap cheap! Also, outdoor ponds here tend to feed the wild raccoons and they LOVE the koi but they leave my cheap bait goldfish alone. lol
You sir, are in luck! It just so happens that I have become the sole owner of COD in my area. There was another guy, but he has since vanished. Don't ask how or why or any incriminating questions. What's important to keep in mind, is that I'm on top. Also, I recently acquired the rare Quatro Killfeedious. He'd be perfect for your new pond.
Setting up a 75 gallon pond in my condo for guppies, have outgrown their 55 gallon tank. I started with just one sponge but as volume has increase will add a second one. Now I enjoy my tanks and pond perspective all at the same time, just my observation but I believe fish act more naturally in a pond than a fish tank, that’s just me.
Panfish pond for the win 👍🏻 this might just be the type of pond that magically appears on my porch (don’t worry, I won’t tell the wife where I got the idea lol)
I love your channel and everything you do for the community. This video along with the DIY filter video you used for this pond inspired me to make my pond. I was wondering if you could please do an update video for this pond? Thank you for your time.
Hello, thank you for your video. I made a filter out of the trashcan just like in the video and it is awesome but one thing I did I drilled in that pipe through the shop and then all the way through to the other side then capped it off It makes changing the filters so much easier
It's perfect!!! What I was looking for, I live in an apartment and I have been wanting to do something like this with live plants and butterfly koi on my patio, I've just been looking different ways I could do it cheaply, thank you
The pond should have native sunfish like bluegill, pumpkin seed, longear sunfish, redear sunfish, redbreast sunfish, etc. Really appreciate the video. One day I will do this.
I have a 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tank with 2 good sized bluegill in there with a peace of spider wood in it with some variation of light-dark color rocks witch makes the fish very easy to see. You probably no this but when you put some fish in they wont eat right away they might eat between 3-7 days maybe you'll get lucky and they will eat in a day. Who knows??
Awesome.. I still got that 120g tank that I think I'm going to have to get rid of. So if anyone is in Indiana and want a free tank she is yours.. be pretty neat to have a mini school of crappie in there.
I really like this because I'm very stingy when comes to buy tanks Example : 3 feet tank for about 90 us dollar me :😭😭🤬y is the tank so expensive 450 gallon black tub for less then 70 dollars Me:😎😎👌
Nice video my friend - I use stock tanks in the winter and bring my Koi indoors. I make my own filters ( Bog Filters ) enjoyed watching and I subscribed.
It made me laugh in the beginning when he said" theres really one place you need to start" and I immediately new that he was talking about tractor supply! 😂
I am planning on doing this in my school garden. I’m a teacher and would love to put a goldfish pond in our garden. Just gotta figure out some shade and the mesh for the top so fish don’t jump out or birds don’t get in.
I am thinking of adding a second pond in my backyard hoping for something easier to maintain than the in-ground liner pond I already have with waterfall filters to constantly change and all in one fountain that have filter, UV light, and fountain pump all in one.
I bought feeder goldfish from Petco for my 300 gal rubbermaid livestock pond tank. Most fish pet stores have feeder goldfish. When bought, they were around an inch and a half long. Most now are around 4 inches. Plus, I saved 20 goldfish from being fed to an Oscar or ?.
Nice build, also liked the garbage can filter. I think a native tank would be neat. Have a 150 tub for my goldfish, bare bottom. It was a deal, also got a fluval fx4 for a steal at black Friday sale. The DIY filter would have bee a great alternative though. Your girls a cuties too.
Great pond for a great price....put some rock bass in there or some sort of bluegill or sunfish etc..or some shiner minnows and lets see how big they get before becoming fish food lol...would be a great minnow type pond for feeders
I've been toying if I wanted to make this a quarantine pond for feeders! But one that looks really nice because it'd be cool to have a big school of fish in there!!
This is great! Could you possibly an keep aquatic turtle or two in something like this? Turtles make more poo and muck so I wonder if a bigger filter could help maintain the water quality for outdoors? That would be really REALLY cool to see! Thanks!
Cheapest way to get the most amount of water for your fish is just dig a pond and buy a liner 😂. Took me a little while but I dug an 1800 gallon pond with a shovel and spent less than $200 for the pond liner
Love the pond was thinking about making a live well for brim without breaking the bank this is perfect was wondering if I made it as a live well how many brim can I put in this at one time. Have you had any issues with it leaking cause I was gonna try to make a permanent Livewell thanks
I've always found it easier too just wash the substrate in the bag it came in. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the bag, the hose in the a top slit. Let's it run....
Didn't realise how big it was until he sat in it!!!
Finally a simple filtration system I can make! Thank you Sir!

I really appreciate the edit of u telling ur self to turn on the water
Thanks for the tips...the best part of the video is the last few seconds...your girls are precious.

I'm setting up a pond in my backyard, the small diy filter video would help quite a bit.
I say fancy goldfish with some water Lilly’s etc would be hella awesome
The girls will love it!
I'm definitely considering the Goldfish route! Surprisingly.... I've never had goldfish! 😂
🙌🙌🙌
The men would like it too
Lilies need sun, this is on a porch...also water changes will be required weekly
@Mohammed Razvi_2240421 i think the hardest part would just be keeping the balance. so would need to be pretty big
Its the babies at the end for me. SO cute. Thanks for all the great tips
I'm loving this i have had Rubbermaid stock tank for years. Didn't know about the cheaper ones.
Good stuff. One more money saving trick..
Every Lowe’s has pallets of slightly “damaged” bags that are 50% off. You just have to find a loading employee and ask. Soil, Mulch, Gravel ect ..
Heck yeah dude.
This would be a great bait tank for shiners orany small fish. I cant wait to see the filter setup you make
😆 I lost it when you threw the water filters in. My humor is very different today....

same
next time their gone just set it up lol

I'm going to do something better and bigger for the filter, but I'm definitely looking into floating plants!!
that tub goes by a different brand called "Tuff Stuff" here in Texas. $59.99 on sale as well.
I've noticed that's what it's called on the website even! I was surprised to see the difference when I went to pick it up.

Koi fish all the way! I don’t know if it’s in your area, but if u can go to koi fish shows, u can find them cheap as hell!
This is perfect as is, just make sure u do water changes(dont slack off) and put some plants in there. I made it work with perfect water conditions

Sounds like an awesome plan!! Definitely keep me posted as you set it up!

The pond should have native sunfish like bluegill, pumpkin seed, longear sunfish, redear sunfish, redbreast sunfish, etc. Really appreciate the video. One day I will do this.
You could put some yellow perch in the pond that would be perfect and they would really shine with the dark surroundings!

I really like this because I'm very stingy when comes to buy tanks
Example : 3 feet tank for about 90 us dollar me :😭😭🤬y is the tank so expensive
450 gallon black tub for less then 70 dollars
Me:😎😎👌
😂😂 That's exactly how I am!! I can spend $120 on a 55g aquarium from a store.... OR! Get a massive pond for cheaper!
This is exactly what I wanted to see in a video. Ty!
Nice video my friend - I use stock tanks in the winter and bring my Koi indoors. I make my own filters ( Bog Filters )

I've got a backyard pond, I have two fancy goldfish and their names are Pineapple and FishSticks!
Rainbow Trout would be really cool! 😎
Reading my mind..
( I'm trying to stay Small so i don't turn half of my back yard into a pond )
😉
Love the d.i.y. filter idea.👍
Extremely easy to understand. I think I could totally pull this off. Thanks 👍
I just bought the same tubs today one for my side neck pink bellies
I think you should let your kids catch some sunfish for it.
I catch monster green sunfish
I'd love a video on a DIY filter set up. I don't have a yard but I bet I can convince my brother to do a pond at his place.
Making this was an success, thank u so much for the content however what’s the easiest way to clean this particular set-up once u have your fish in it
I would and have built an indoor pond like that. I added a canister filter to mine. I used to breed African cichlids and Oscars by the thousands.
I am thinking of adding a second pond in my backyard hoping for something easier to maintain than the in-ground liner pond I already have with waterfall filters to constantly change and all in one fountain that have filter, UV light, and fountain pump all in one.
I’m actually considering getting 2 of these. A 150 gallon for some goldfish and a 500 gallon for some stingrays
Kids are gorgeous and I love the pond idea.
Baby bass for the pond!!!
I bought feeder goldfish from Petco for my 300 gal rubbermaid livestock pond tank. Most fish pet stores have feeder goldfish. When bought, they were around an inch and a half long. Most now are around 4 inches. Plus, I saved 20 goldfish from being fed to an Oscar or ?.
Yesssss upgrade the pond!
Catch some native suckers and put them in the pond. That would be pretty cool
Very informative about the pond not sure what fish too put in there but something bright so you could watch them.
My go-to for cheap pond pumps is harbor freight.
Lol!!! Love those babies! Beautiful!
Nice build, also liked the garbage can filter. I think a native tank would be neat. Have a 150 tub for my goldfish, bare bottom. It was a deal, also got a fluval fx4 for a steal at black Friday sale. The DIY filter would have bee a great alternative though. Your girls a cuties too.
Great pond for a great price....put some rock bass in there or some sort of bluegill or sunfish etc..or some shiner minnows and lets see how big they get before becoming fish food lol...would be a great minnow type pond for feeders

definitely making a bait tank in my garage now

I'm giving you a TD because you said "Waz up".
You should do some big green sunfish in the pond with a small bullhead
Thanks for sharing brother, it helps to have videos like this. Save that $$$
Take the kids out and catch some bluegill/ green sunfish to stock it! Or get ahold of josh and go get into some of those big ol hybrids
How fun is this! How well do you like those sponge filters as far as keeping small ponds like that clean and arriatated?
Get a bucket and drill a bunch of small holes through out the bottom up to about 2" up the side and that will help when cleaning the rock.
That's a good call!! I washed these rocks for like 40 minutes.... I swear... 😂
@@SCFishKeeping yea the holes in the bucket will help let the dirt just run out so you dont have to keep emptying it =)
U can buy a 1500 gallon galvonized or plastic pond at orchlean for 350
I've always found it easier too just wash the substrate in the bag it came in. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the bag, the hose in the a top slit. Let's it run....
