- We are always testing new things, pushing our ponds to be better and BEST... unfortunately our attempt at giving our signature pond a sand beach didn't go so well. Luckily, Brian has a good idea of what we need to try next!

We used washed concrete sand in our pond. Definitely a bit more coarse. It doesn't move much at all, and still nice to walk barefoot on. Not muddy at all.
I was a bricklayer in the Chicago area, and we used Illinois brick a lot. They're an excellent company to work with. The silica sand you got looks like what we used to make white mortar, I feel it will be too fine for your purpose, but I'll wait to see how it works for you. My brother started the Airhart Construction company based in West Chicago. I hope some of his customers will become your customers, too.
I'm with you on the silica sand I think it's just too fine I think the crushed gravel that's turned into sand would work better it's heavier and would stay in place
That's such a nice format of a vlog! I was more than skeptical at first but in fact it's really interesting! I had no idea Brian was doing the drawings by hand... I always thought he was using a computer program :D
For your sand, maybe grains a bit bigger would do the trick?
Loved watching Brian do a bit of colouring in! 🙂
Great video, the sand could be used in part of the retail system
I've already done a white sand bottom pond. Converted from gravel and the fish colors POP.
Lots to take in on this one! Awesome!!!
Awesome, inspiring video. The pond design looks great with all its curves and hidden pathways. Thank you Brian for showing!
Very excited to see progress on the Spain project!
Remember you can tune into Team Aquascape on FB. We went LIVE from there yesterday!
Great video. A lot going on. Super cool. You had me in suspense with the sand. What about play ground sand. Pretty cool Greg pays you to color. Lol. Great job on that sale.
Can you use that sand in the retail fish area?
Tankies will adore that clean sand.
What if you scrape back some quantity of the gross sand, and use the white sand on top because it’ll probably stick to that nasty sand? It probably will even change the texture of the gross sand as they mix a little over time.
You can use motion sensors like the ones used for flood lights in front of the tanks on the floor tied to the outlets for the aerators so they turn off as people walk in front of them.
My pond has a sand beach and bottom just use real sand. My pool also has sand bottom with normal pool filters. Both crystal clear. Would also suggest pre cleaning sand
Have you reached out to a local aquarium in regards to sand? I know in my saltwater aquarium at home I had different choices of sand depending on flow, which sounds like the same situation you are in. It's white and beautiful as well and is what is on those beached that you talked about.....just a suggestion
So where did you put the sugar sand and how did it go?
you need coarser, larger grains of sand with more weight if you want it to have a chance of working.
I can't believe you used the wrong sand in the pond haha 😆😅 it is one mucky mess if you use the wrong type.
Ever try pool filter sand?
You could always put the sand into the retail sales tubs?
Why not rent out equipment to the customers so they can clean the pond themselves? Different levels and sizes of rentable equipment. Hand truck unit all the way up to a trailer unit. Make a repeatable style plan that the other CAC's can offer around the world. Some people just wanna do a quick scrub and clean before Grandma visits. They just do not have the proper tools to make it easy. Could even offer some of them for sale as an alternative to the fancy pond vacuums out on the market. Please Include me on this! I love R&D!
Why not Lake Michigan sand?
Sargent sand pit (no granite in mix )Ludington Mi.
If Ive watched all of ed's videos am I now a C.A.C ? 😆🤷♂️
Pool filter sand seems like what your looking for.
I just had a feeling you were going to say silica sand
I contacted several “Aquascape” companies in Dallas/Fort Worth none replied.
What type of sand does genesis ecosystems use?
Brazilian. Bradley have any contacts?!
I like the sand who wouldn’t like beautiful white sand that you can put your toes in use it😀
I'm just curious, has something happened to Greg? In a couple videos y'all spoke as if he has passed.
Unfortunately for them I’m alive and well 😂
make a salt water lagoon with that sand
sillica dust ( H*ll NO ) GM&FORD foundry casting sand; Kasson Sand & Gravel Mich.
Note to self: If you call Team Aquascape to help you build your pond, DO NOT tell them your full budget amount. Always say your budget is $20-$40k lower than what you actually are willing to spend.
Wouldn't ground gravel that's turned into Sand work better and it wouldn't get sucked into the filter it wouldn't get slimy and most definitely would keep its shape and it's cheaper then if you would have to import sand from another country
You have now 450, tray to get 150 or 200
Thats better and less fine
Stay better on his place
140 grand, ya can buy a house with that...and have a lucas lagoons pool lol
💯🔥💙👍
I got the yard for a beautiful pond, but not the income 😢
Sheesh he seems like he stressing big time everyday
Why not just use legit beach sand. Is it expensive or hard to get? I’d imagine here in Florida they’ll throw you in jail for our sand
👍
Ha!
Naahhhh. You used DIRT. That wasn't sand.
does your video really need all those cuts, its really jarring to watch?
That’s the Vlog style RUclips prefers
1600lbs of 420
video edited making it jitter too much
Just use this fine sand outside the pond ;)
I use a coarse quartz sand in my ponds, they dont stick to your feet and still look good. @h2orizontes
