Rachel O'leary get Joey to come and build it for you ! You can give him orders while resting your knee and drinking something alcoholic I mean therapeutic 😜
It looks good Joey. Good example of a budget build.. been watching you for 3-4 years now and I enjoy how your on camera personality and sense of humor has come a long ways. Keep up the good work
I think not only did you show people an easy way to make an indoor pond but you also showed us most of whats needed for an indoor hot tub :-) Awesome Job!
Hi Joey. I recommend a Largemouth Bass or a Peacock Bass. ( If not both) Both fish are aggressive eaters but will not harm each other. And I recommend a Red Tail Catfish or a Hybrid Tiger Shovelnose Catfish.
Are you going to add some LED lights inside the pond.? Nothing too bright of course. But it might be a little hard to see anything in a deep pond with a black liner
put white tiles on the floor joey, i feel like that would really help with being able to film the new fish, also what about a permanent underwater webcam that people can watch that is linked to your facebook or something.
Build in LED strips behind the lips for the cover, instead of an overhead lamp. Also, it would be a nice touch, if you take a router to the outside edge.
Brother Joey, you are really talented. I wonder from where do you get all these ideas? From old days DIY tricks to the present pond ...exceptional talent!
I would love to see some koi in this pond!! That would be so pretty c: I live in Canada too so I think this would basically be the only way i could ever keep koi lol
Hey Joey, your gallery is amazing. However I fear it will never be complete without a brackish tank. One of the 120s should do the trick. You could stock monos or puffers, mollies, please give it more thought as I and many others would find great joy in seeing this and experiencing it with you
Freshwater archer fish would be interesting! You could lay a large branch over the pond and occasionally dump crickets on it and watch the archer fish go to work.
It's most likely sterile talcum powder (magnesium silicate), which is the main ingredient in baby powder. It's non-dilutable and can be rinsed off very easily. In those low concentrations it isn't toxic, but never the less it's a good idea to give it a good rinsing before usage.
*IMPORTANT!!!* Whatever you do Joey do NOT put pacus or other giant herbivore tetra in your pond!!!! From previous experience they will chew that pond liner and cause leaks! Big soft mouth fish would work wonderfully - eg Gourami, barbs, bass, catfish but be very wary of any fish with hard dentine teeth ESPECIALLY HERBIVORES . Good luck with your fish stocking :)
Just shipping powder they use to keep rubber from sticking to itself during shipping or high heat situations. And makes unfolding it much easier as rubber loves to grab against itself unless treated. I doubt its poisonous as its meant to be in contact with human skin and respiratorty and eyes. And if it was a problem they would post all kinds of warnings. However since its the liner for a fish pond its always best to rinse the liner off no matter what it was shipped with just to be safe.
I think you should out a red tail catfish in the pond, please!!! They are so cool and I would love to see how you would raise it and that process! Also, I've been thinking about how you taught your lionfish to eat fresh foods and not live. I would love to see you do the same process with a mandarin goby dragonette. They are smaller but they are such a beautiful fish that many hobbyists want to keep but are just too afraid to. You teaching them to eat your homemade food or even flakes would be a really impressive journey!!! You're Awesome Joey! Hope you feel better man!
Great job, might not be everyone’s cup of tea but you show what is possible on a budget. I think the end product with a bit of stain on the wood and plants growing will look fantastic.
Love the pond build so far and I’m glad to see that your healing up! Can’t wait for the paint and fish 🐠🐠. Would be a great idea for any of us Canadians that have outdoor ponds. Cheaper way to keep your fish inside for the winter.
Awesome work!!! I'm building a fish room in my basement, inspired by the DIY videos you've put out! This is a great idea since I'm limited to the size of tank I can put in the fish room without tearing out door jams and wall to get it where I need it. I will be definitely doing a build like this for the Giants I would like to get. Keep up the great videos and inspiring hobbyists, like myself, across Canada and the rest of the world!!
Love the wooden box of water.... I was gonna go with I pool in my basement but now I will most likely be doing this. (For my silver arowana) I love your channel I still use the canister filter out of pvc you made all those years ago...lol
Joey get some koi. I made a similar outdoor pond last year for my Koi, love it. I'm copying your design to make another one inside to house my koi during winters. Awesome job bro!!
Looks awesome! Not sure if you have finished the outside of it yet, but I would think putting a torch to it and some Murphy’s oil after would give a nice look.
Love where this is going....one thing I would do is router or sand the one corner exposed round a little bit. That way if any one bumps In to it no one will get hurt. Keep up the great work i love your videos and every thing you do!!
Okay, some ideas: Do submerged lighting and black sand or gravel, with some large rocks. Have a gentle flow in the tank so the fish can be viewed easily. Some lighter colored artificial plants would be a lovely contrast, along with the fish. Then for fish, oxydoras, giant gourami, red tail cat. Some big, snazzy fish.
Absolutely love your channel Joey, all the way from South Africa. When I first came across your videos I thought I would redo my freshwater aquariums and take some of your ideas, then you started the saltwater aquarium, so I thought well I might ditch the freshwater and go salt, now you're doing the pond, and I'm just kinda going, "ahhhhh screw you Joey for planting all of these ideas in my head". But seriously I might do something like this in the future, big up dude, keep it going.
Do some sort of eco system in there and pull ideas from all the tanks on the wall and show a complete example of different fish or turtles co existing. A nice deep school of something would be beautiful from top too. Thanks for sharing all these inspirational ideas. Blessing for a lot of people.
Koi fish are good in a pond plus with the black liner they will pop out and the indoor pond is great for them don't have to worry about other animals from getting them.
Joey I really would love to see a wolf cichlid in their. That is enough space, and they are amazingly interactive and fun to watch. Anyways love the videos.
