“I ❤️ MY JOB!”...and COOL people!!!
have fun in Africa!
Pondscapes of Charlotte you gotta be kidding right?
I love the presence of the sand in these builds. Really gives it that tropical resort almost salt water look. Joey of "King of DIY" would eat his heart out if he had something like this for his fresh water rays. The clarity of that water is insane!
Anthony Bowers The sand is a really unique look!
I’ve done a handful of sand installations but I think I may start doing more!
@@edbeaulieu5916 I support that notion Ed! I would like to see something to that effect with the investment of the Aqua-biology. Damselfly & Dragonfly nymphs, water boatmen & back swimmers, water strides etc. Like that fella across the pond, whose name eludes me at the moment.;)
Anthony Bowers The diversity of insects in and around a true ecosystem pond is incredible!
I had seen a few of these Brazilian ponds on instagram very briefly, but they are AMAZING! The Brazilian pond guys at Genesis have amazing ideas and extremely beautiful ponds. The clear water and white sand are just great. Thank you for sharing this amazing video.
Yes! Another Great video from The Pond Professor
Shawn Baker Thanks Shawn!
bro... this is the most amazing pond i had ever seen!
Leonardo Incredible stuff!
Those Koi & ponds are just Beautiful 💗💗
Jessica Grewe Incredible ponds and beautiful garden settings.....
Awesome guys, it’s so neat to see that you are constantly learning and improving upon what you do, and that you share this with us. Too many animal care experts on social media entirely way too sanctimonious.
Hingeback Tortoise Central Thanks for your support!
Just shows how we need to keep an open mind and always be ready to learn, great trip!
I love your job 👍👍👍
Ultimate Hvac Thanks!
Those ponds are amazing!!! As someone from desert Arizona, I am drooling over the lush greenery!!!!
Marlina Kessler I loved the unique vegetation too!
So glad to find the Aquascape Crew. Ed and all of you guys are very educational, artistic, entertaining
Thanks for watching Nathan!!!
@@EdThePondProfessor wow that's so amazing you got to go to Brazil! 🇧🇷Congratulations 🎊😄
This must be the ultimate experience for you. it most certainly is for me! 😅Checking out another countries pond systems with the best pond builder known to man. Ed The Pond Professor 😎
Very nice pond setup in Brazil design is very cool
@8:25 those fish are fantastic and huge!!! Great episode Ed! 18 inch max is not something we're used to in Minnesota, USA 😁
Nick The Pond King Just a weee bit cooler up there!
beautiful pond!
I LOVE those sandy bottoms!!! So gorgeous!!!!!
WOW,,,, fantastic property 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
To think I was born in that same town back in 1963 😀.
It really makes me want to back solemnly to visit the genesis team and see their water features.
Fantastic work guys ❤️.
And to team aquascape ,,,, thanks for bringing us along through your great channels 👍🏼.
Joacim Zehlin You must go back!
Shoot the first international GTA in the series is being made there. Who doesn't wanna visit 🇧🇷Brazil?! it's the experience of a lifetime 😎
Goosebumps!!!amazing 💖❤
Rosalinda Gallarza Yes!!!
They build incredible ponds!
These Brazilian ponds are the greatest of all times HOOOLLLLYYY
OMG,,,,,,,,,,,DD i loved it's amazing this is the best of the Best ,,,, Greg looks so happy & you either,,,,
Thanks!!!
We had a great time!
Beautiful water features. I'm interested to see you experiment with and incorporate the genesis system. Please keep us updated.
Bert Lenfestey Me too!
AWESOME!
WOW! Fabulous Ed! A credit to Genesis! having lived in tropical areas in the past I appreciate the planting they have done as well. Envious of Greg being able to swim there too!!
Michael Thornley Thanks Michael!
I had a chance to swim as well and it was Awesome!!!
Sejam bem vindos ao Brasil. Espero mais vídeos dos nossos lagos
Would definitely like to see more. Very fascinating 😎
Wow, definitely some of the most beautiful ponds I've ever seen, though as somebody from Michigan who has to do a spring cleanout on my pond every year those sand bottoms have me curious. How often do they end up needing to do pond cleanouts in Brazil? And when they do, how do they clean the sand without accidentally pumping it all out?
Rowan Bixler They do water changes there but not full drain and cleans like we would do.
If you succeed the natural eco system with a top watter filtering, then there is no need for full draining! I suppost a 30% or less watter change,should be more than enough! Amazing pond!Gratz for the hard work!
Awesome channel !! 😃
Thank you! 😀
Ed, why are these ozone systems not used more often?
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Wow coolest Ed thanks for sharing this super nice koi pond "D cheers
very cool!
Love the channel. New sub.
Thanks for your support!!!
🙏
I love seeing sand bottoms. How would that effect your pumps in an aquascapes system?
Brad Parker We’ve done a handful of projects with sand but on a much smaller scale than theirs.
I haven’t seen any problems at this time.
Very cool video, interesting that they use sand on the bottoms. I thought it was concrete at first. Did you create those berms in Villavicencio? Brazil is probably zone 13, which is the tropics. Much of Georgia is a zone 8.
The Barefooted Gardener We did not create berms like that in Villavicencio, we did direct some of the surrounding slopes away from the features but it wasn’t consistent or as much of an issue for our style of installation.
The Hardiness zones for this area of Brazil is 10, São Paulo is the Southern part of Brazil and quite a distance from the Equator.
Ed Beaulieu Interesting! The more I learn about hydrology the more interesting it becomes, like answering one question and then 2 more pop up. Now that I looked at a map, it’s clear I was definitely wrong about Brazil’s zone. I based it off Puerto Rico which is definitely closer to the equator.
My question would be how many grams of ozone do they use per gallon of water and for how many hours etc? And also how often is the ozone unit changed? Stunning look at how things can be done with time and effort
Hello professor can you tell us more about that sand.... I never say such type of design in aquascape Inc ponds. Also, how it can help in filtration and it is good or bad to put sand on the bottom?
aqua gardening They use a very specific Quartzite sand, he said it took a long time to find the right supplier. The challenge of sand is that it may become anaerobic due to a lack of circulation. In my observations of their ponds I noticed that they had a series of small pipes bubbling water up through the sand on the bottom, the addition of Ozone is very important because as Ozone breaks down it creates Oxygen which keeps the sand aerobic.
They have a very good system!
@@edbeaulieu5916 thank you, professor, that's a good piece of engineering.
Amazing ponds! But now I'm curious to know what the brazilian guy wanted to hide at around 2:55 when he said "Close this one and open the other. I don't want to show..." but then we got a small cut on the video haha
Water is Spectacularly clear. These ponds are incredible. Does the sand bottom heip the ponds look clearer?
Kim from New Zealand The water clarity is coming for the combination of mechanical and biological filtration augmented with Ozone
How do they keep the sand bottom clean?
the reason why koi guys prefer smooth sided deep ponds
is because they dont want the fish to scrape off a scale against the rocks.
koi also get most of their exercise by swimming up and down so if you want them to have nice strong bodies you will need at least 1.5 meters in depth.
Wooowter qualityyyyy.....😮😍
ED a big question ! can you grow like tomatoes, peppers, grapes , strawberries , etc in the Wetland Filtration for a Pond ? thank you ! with all that nutrients seems like a good idea ...
donnyj88 Yes but they may be nutrient deficient
show de bola ,jackson, salvador ba brasil
Stunning place . Struggling to see benefit of ozone being used . Wonder if the koi kept in shallow water will grow longer rather than gaining depth to the body
Richard B Ozone is not for everyone, it’s an effective strategy for the Genesis Team as they’ve created a great system that works for them.
Absolutely stunning ponds, a unique style by this company in Brazil!
Why Ozone though? Whats the benefits, what the trade off, how come they are or aren't using UV?( I didn't quite follow what he said)
Look forward to your experiments with the pump you ordered from them :D
icewolf250 On many of their projects they use UV and Ozone together.
UV is an effective sterilizing system but it only kills the bacteria and plankton within the UV Sleeve, it doesn’t do anything for organisms or algae growing along the bottom of the pond or the rock substrate.
Ozone also has a reaction chamber but there will be a residual amount that enters the pond giving you a greater zone of control.
Sander in Germany make the best Ozone generators and freshwater protein skimmers for ozone reactors.
Why does their water quality is higher than the ponds showcased by aquascape? I mean, there are barely any suspended particles in the water column in these ponds, is it perhaps that they use sand instead of gravel as you guys use ?
My theory is that sand compacts and makes a barrier vs. gravel which has water pockets where particles can be deposited and once sturred up they float back to the water column.
Please Professor, Im curious and need your help!
maniatikoleal it’s the ozone that they put in the ponds. Look up Ozone generators for koi ponds and that’s what makes the water look almost sterile.
Aquascape does not put ozone into their ponds
@@johncrossin3718 oh, i had no audio in the intro Ed did so i missed that part where he explained :)
maniatikoleal As John mentioned it’s the addition of Ozone.
Ed Beaulieu correct me if I’m wrong but I feel ozone is actually bad for a natural water feature in high amounts because its basically a powerful oxidizing agent. Isn’t ozone bad for the biofilm on the rocks that helps with the ecology of the pond? In my AP bio class, we had this big discussion about the harmful affects of atmospheric particles interacting with aquatic life. (I’m pretty interested in that stuff) Also, would you install an ozone generator in your pond? And would you create an Aquascape brand ozone generator to install for your ponds?
2:53 he said in Portuguese "close this latch, I dont want them seeing this, and open the other one" lol I'm just pointing it out cause I thought it was funny.
what is the benefit of ozone? I thought it was a sterilizer for swimming pools.
juglore The benefits for Ozone is the incredible water clarity. Ozone will oxidize and destroy tannins, plankton and other organic compounds which increases the water clarity.
Ed Beaulieu, not only clarity. Ozone reacts with almost everything. It also helps you keeping parasites (the free swimming ones) under control. It helps keeping a lower bacteria pressure (we do want the good ones (filter) but do not want the bad ones (sick fish). And it oxidizes the amino acids (yellow color), giving you a crystal clear pond (blue tone water). If used correctly it is a very useful tool in fish (koi) keeping.

Wait.... as proclaimed pond professor you had no idea o3 is being used on ponds???
I more and more get the idea you have no idea how the 'KOI POND" management has evolved the last 15 years.
At least over here in Europe.
I believe you have great ideas about koi keeping but there is also a lot you can learn.
Maybe it's a good idea to get some updates on how koi ponds are designed nowadays.
I would love to see a combination between the modern koi keeping and the natural koi keeping you guys do.
I think getting better educated in what is possible nowadays with filtering, and combine this with the more natural filtering you do, you can get a really good water quality (clarity has nothing to do with quality) and ecstatics.
A few things which would be awesome to combine is slate bottom (church) including bottom drains.
RTF (Rotating drum filter). Moving bed filters, bog filters. Trickle-, shower filters, waterfalls, etc.
Powerfull UV (up to 20 watt per 1000 gallons) for bacteria, parasite reduction, (gets larger koi).
and so on.
As you might know koi (carp) is not a space fetishist but a water fetishist.
You give him the best quality water.
Which is stable with no to very low NH3/NH4, NO2, high temperature (70F), constant removal of the pheromones (water change or ozone) which will keep it from growing.
Do this and the koi will give you the best it has in color and skin quality and of course in length.
It is not advised to use ozone directly in the pond. exactly for the reasons you mention in the video.
Ozone oxides very easy (adds 1 oxygen atom to a molecule) and therefor can burn the gills, skin of your koi.
Normally you have a reactor in which you let the ozone react with your pond water.
Also a rest ozone filter (activated carbon) is advised to get rid of the unused ozone.
Ozone is also dangerous for the human lungs, if you can smell it, it is dangerous.
The needed depth in a koi pond has nothing to with the health of the fish. a carp doesn't care about depth of a pond or stream. the care about water temperature!
This is the only reason why it is advised in the colder regions like Chicago or the Netherlands to have at least 4 feet.
This goes 2 ways in the winter the water in your pond will freeze over. having at least 4 feet will somewhat ensure your water on the bottom the pond will have at least 4C (39F) this is the critical temperature a carp needs to survive. longer periods below this temperature and you koi is very likely to die!
In the summer the depth prevents that the water will heat up to high temperatures which will cause a drop in resolved oxygen. Another and maybe the most urgent reason for the depth is the quick change in water temperature (hot or could). Quick changes in temperature is something which carp can not handle very well they can even die from this.
The reason a shallow pond works closer to the equator (with (sub) tropical temperatures is that the temperature doesn't change that quickly. most of the time it is around the same temperature and if the changes it will do this slower than in our regions.
Also the risk that the pond freezes over is almost zero around the equator. If due to climate change the shallow ponds in these areas would freeze over, you will find frozen koi in your pond!
Another reason you don't want a lot of rain water gathering in your pond is because of the lack of KH in rain water.
If a lot of rainwater is getting in to your pond and the pond water is washed out (containing the salt forming KH) you have a greater risk in having a PH crash. This can also kill your fish and other life in your pond.
Even if you have limestone in your pond the pond water can be pushed out so fast by the rainwater that you can have a PH crash before you limestone will desolve in the water adding KH to your water which will in its turn will rise the PH again.
Crazy how they can keep the sand so white.
Só devia por legenda em português né?
Do u know we’re I could get a system like that
Genesis Ecossistemas in Brazil
Wow!!!!!
Very cool, but my guess is that sand won't stay that color for very long. There will be muck and algae covering it in no time.
Hello friends, I have a 200 mg ozone device. Do you know how much and how many hours a day for a 4500 liter pond should be turned on and used?
Is there any issues to using sand for the substrate of the pond as compared to gravel? for a purely aquascape system pond
There are some potential challenges, the sand can become anaerobic which will cause water quality issues
@@EdThePondProfessorThanks for the reply Ed! I see... Is that still an issue with Koi ponds with the fishes perpetually grazing at the bottom of the pond?
Sao Paulo would be a zone 8 for us. about like central/south florida.
3 years later and we still do not have an ozone system from Aquascape.
I know……
Your painting on the wall looks like you are a "king of hill" character....
The Fishy Life ! Nice!
Wow, maybe you can travel also to my place so that you can see the poor mans way of keeping koi fish he he, I did not use expensive filtration systems to my koi ponds but all my koi fish are happy he he
Would you know anyone in Australia that create these type of ponds...as they are all no sayers..😢
I wouldn't ever recommend using ozone. It's very dangerous if overdosed or if anything done wrong. It would have to be an amazing and completely failproof system for the customers, otherwise I think it's definitely not worth it.
ElGallo It’s definitely not for everyone!
They’ve created a really good system that seems to have the necessary safety measures to protect the ponds and fish from problems.
Hand work of camera too jerky, cannot watch. Gives me headache in a couple minutes. Stunning designs.
What are the natural predators in this area, and how do they deal with them?
Cathleen Baldwin Maggi I asked them the same question and he said that they don’t have Herons or predatory birds?
interesting , first time seeing this type of koi ponds , making use of DSB , not gonna lie , was expecting to see caimans and anacondas in the pond ,ha
Your a little shhakkeyy there buddy on your intro!?
JOHN DUFOUR I know!
Weird......
Ed if you read this I want to buy shares!!!!!!! I'm so serious!!!!!
I wonder do u offer that option to customers
Ozone?!..Haven't heard that in years. In the 70's you weren't high tech if you didn't use Ozone. Then Nobody was using it by the late 80's. Why?
