Making a simple mini pond in the balcony for guppies

I have used a FRP tub which holds about 10 gallons of water.
Aquatic plant cuttings from my other tanks were used for this build to introduce beneficial bacterial into the tank quickly.
The pond setup was filmed over a period of 2 days.
I moved the pond to the corner of the balcony during the first full water change
The wild guppies were added after 5 days and after two water changes.
I also added an air pump to the pond to keep it well aerated.

Substrate – ADA Aquasoil and regular horticulture grade sand
Hardscape – Driftwood and river stones
Plants:
Aquatic- – Limnophila Sessiliflora, Anubias nana, Cryptocoryne Parva, Sagittaria Subulata, Cabomba Caroliniana, Najas Guadalupensis, Red Root floaters, Frogbits and Water Lettuce
Terrestrial and Epiphytes – Caladium, Raphidophora Tetrasperma, Pothos, Bromeliad, English Ivy

    Hello All
    Youtube has recently rolled out an Ai feature which adjusts the silent parts of any video automatically. It is called “stable volume” and is found in the “advanced settings” on your settings button on the youtube app. This feature has actually impacted some audio parts of my videos (like this one) in the form of a sudden gain and added noise. The “stable audio” mode is turned on by default and can be turned off manually by the user on their app. I am also hearing from other creators about the same issue. I will try and find out more about it and hopefully YouTube will be able to do something about it so that viewers can have the original audio experience on channels that produce quieter content with bg music and asmr soundscapes.
    Thanks for your support as always!

    These are so satisfying to watch. My rock gluing goes much differently, way less smoothly and usually ends up with my fingers covered with the glue, substrate and paper 😂😂😂

    Wow, this looks lovely. I have few questions

    1 How frequently do you change water

    2 Can you confirm if this setup needs any kind of sunlight

    3 What kind of water are you using here, in India we get hard water in tap and RO water lacks nutrients for plants. Hard water use means pot would need maintenance.

    Very nice and calming video. I enjoyed it thanks!
    Can I ask if algae grows in the pond after some time? How do you manage it?

    I’m about to make a balcony pond. I have aquatic soil and pebbles, what else is in this base of this pond. I will plant plants to attract mayflies and dragon flies plus perhaps a water buttercup. Any suggestions
