The pond build is finally here! I’ve been talking about this for months and thought that it would have been done about a month ago, but the whole thing is just so time consuming, especially with the weather we’ve been having. Like I said in the video, this has been going on since October of 2018 and was just a concept long before that. The whole reason that I even built this is for my goldfish, so stocking in non-negotiable… other than more goldfish lol (4 won’t be enough).
This is only the first part of a few video series and I hope it gives you a good idea as to what’s possible outside the realm of naturalistic ponds. Obviously that’s what we all want, but sometimes it’s just not feasible because of cost. Even though it’s not the same type of thing, these kind of ponds can still be beautiful in their own sort of way. Plus you can create a good home for your beloved fish, which is often what it’s all about.
There’s so much more I could say, but the video should be able to do most of the talking. If you have any specific questions or want to see something else in the next installment, please let me know down in the comments. This one took forever, so I really hope you enjoy it.
Also a huge thanks for Oase for supplying the pumps! It was a huge burden off of me and was really appreciated. I’m using the Waterfall Pump 1650 for the skimmer and will be using AquaMax Eco Premium 3000 for the rest. I’ll talk more about those in the next video and put some links below.

The pond is finally here! I'm so excited to finally get this out there. I really hope you all enjoy it. Let me know what you thought thus far and if there's anything you want to see in the next installments.
That is amazing
i wonder if there's any way to fix the level on the boards because that would bother me to no end
It turned out beautifully
I’m going to build my own pond it’s gonna be natural
Legend……!!!!!!!!
Good job my friend, your work paid off nicely. ☺☺☺
u did a great job sir 😊 this is nice ❤️ keep it up!
His shoes tho 💀
This is amazing!
this videos are so relaxing
Minecraft in real life lol
Filtration needs to be: -> coarse, -> medium -> and fine sponge -> biological -> chemical (active carbon). Further a big thumbs up for this build!!
How are you powering the pump? I’m planning on running a circuit underground to a christy box I’ll place the filtration system next to so the pump has direct power that is hidden
Wouldn't you save time and money by paying someone $40K to build it for you? I think I'll just buy an aquarium..
This is so cool it’s one thing I really want to do when I grow up
Awesome. Love it.
It’s good but way too over complicated this could have been much simpler
He also showed his mistakes I love the end result
Great video, easy to follow. Thanks for sharing !
I think this is a freaking awesome skill.
He be lookin like will buyers from stranger things Lol 🍄
Hell of a lot of work to have some water in your backyard. Not for me. But I’m glad you enjoy it, and good job.
why did groundwater ruin the pond?
Where did you get the big liner I’m in Australia and here they don’t have any decent size liners
that's cool
Where da fish
How much would you say it costed you in total? What's the ballpark for a project like this?
Exito!
Pick axe makes short work of hard dirt and clay then shovel out as you go
I adore your channel, and LOVE seeing the things that you get to do! You have so many privileges and so many wonderful tools and things. I am disabled and have to live at approximately 30% of the poverty level. To give you the idea, I about $800 a month, and $500 of that goes to rent. My roommate and I would like to put a pond in the back yard, and of course the landlord is alright with this, as long as we do all the work and pay for it. We'd like it safe for a local turtle or two to take refuge, because Oregon has some awesome turtles, but as you know they're not doing so hot in nature.. I want to help, as much as I can, but I have no real money. Is there any way that you can think of to do a seriously low cost build? I am pretty good with arts and crafts, and my roommate used to be a welder, so we have at least a few good tools.
I started out with a 24ft above ground pool, so yours looks way better than that, looking totally natural is overrated honestly. This one is cool, I like it.
I realized that he was married at 17:40
