How To Build A Waterfall Pond Filter On A Budget!!! | Pond Build Part 2 

What type of pond filter do you use?

Looks awesome

We need few home depo store in the UK ASAP

That's awesome man.

Love this video. Used the idea and made a filter like this for my turtle pond

Do you have to dechlorinate the water before you put the fish in??

Very cool

Did you ever make a list of materials and cuts for the whole pond? You said in the videos you would but I couldn’t find it.. thanks

Amazing video!

Nice little video. Just a heads up on a couple tips: 1, where your pipe was leaking a few drips, a bead of clear silicone will help all around will help. You can also get a bulkhead fitting for a couple of dollars. 2, where you sand the hand tool was a called a sander, but if anyone asks in the store for one, it’s typically a file or a rat tail file. I have a diy channel if interested in subscribing to mine. See you around.

3:31 rasp would be the correct term

Great, informative video. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber. Cheers.

Good stuff bud. She's beautiful and long fin White cloud minnows would love that 👍💪

Nice video. Thanks for sharing!

Great project.

You going big bro! I feel it!

like your system a lot btw ive had the fish tank bug for 35 years from 25 0 gallon Aquariums to a 100 gallon pond if you look on Ebay and search for either power heads or pond pumps/ filters there are a ton of Chines made i options for very low prices i am blown away at how cheap cost wise these things are as you probably know the way the Chinese do things is they generally wait for a good products Patents to expire then they can legally use that design without having to pay to use the patten and of course their labor costs and factories can build things pretty low costs by value engineering and utilizing automation what ive found is those fish tank and pond items work very well and for the money you can afford to buy a extra one for parts or a back up if you so incline i really like the overall appearance of the filter with the wood and the sound honestly it doesn’t look homemade or cheap IMO for my next pond i will probably build something similar

love it! I have a big pond also formy turtles but I haven]t done any of my filter.i like the way you did so simple but yet sturdy

Thanks bro 💯

Right on man! I’m in Martinez

I want to make one great job

very nice

Very cool design! New supporter here!

only bacteria filter?

Is there a way to make the water come back out the top so I can burry most of the filter

Very nice video! Looks like it came out nice! I see people use lava rock for their pond filters all the time. Thanks for sharing.

I’m in Santa Cruz where it’s probably a bit more mild for fish but one issue that I have run into repeatedly with any outdoor water feature is raccoons.

I love antioch c.a

How did you build the frame

Yes a new video

Nice job, but i would recommend to add a T with a standing pipe to the outlet inside the filter. Standing pipe cut above filter media in case filter is clogged after time, overflowing water can escape in to the standing pipe and drain out instead overflowing the filter box and empty the pond.

7:11 the birds are going mad haha !

Great video, thought you should know though that PVC is pretty toxic, definitely not potable. ABS would be a bit better.

@BayAreaAquatics I'm digging a small duck pond 3 levels down way more then 55g its maybe 200g or more and was thinking koi to keep it clean. How could i build a larger version of this built?

Totally loved it.

Thanks for sharing, new supporter here from the philippines, more power

What is that black item. Is it stones or charcol

what is those pvs male and fmale pices to use what are they called

Awesome, now come build me one

The Home Depot pond pumps are made by BECKET. Maybe you can find BECKET pumps online cheaper. But they're worth the extra money! They last so much longer than the "cheap" ones, that they end up being no more expensive at all.

Have you tried White Clouds outdoors all year? It was a mild winter,I think they would have done fine.

Nice filter 👍

Great project. If you have a Petco near you they can order white clouds. Add pothos house plant in the rear and it will both catch splash and filter the water along in the lava rock without soil.

We are building a 3 stacked similar version. But our spray bar is inside the top box and with a closed lid.

That looks great, could also attach a light underneath the wooden box holding the filter. Nice video mate.

Thanks for the video! If you're looking for White Cloud Mountain Minnows in the Bay Area, I know my LFS sells them regularly. It's called Ultimate Aquarium in San Mateo!

You might want to keep running that cloth it prevents the water from tracking

How did you build your pond. I'd like to see the video

white clouds, hmmm!!! i got plenty, mine breed constantly lol

Great video, do you have details of the actual build. 👍

6:51 what is this material?

👍🏻👋🏻👏🏻🇹🇷

What pump did you use?

Bro gr8 informative ,i liked the video ! but instead of talking more go video directly ! so we can save time ,......

Fast forward🙉🙉🙉

13/64 is about where I begin to regret we don’t have the metric system. Anyway, i never did get a good view of the entire apparatus. It would be better to start with an overview.

it's called a file not a sander.

Koi. Fish.

3:10 file

Um, that's a file.

so fast, the talking i mean.

This is a pretty good video but it would be better without all the commentary. Instructional videos should just clearly and simply show each step, in order and provide a list of items to buy. I got lost in all of the chatter about everything you did wrong and things you couldn't find, etc.

Dude...cmon how about less talk about what you did blah blah blah. How about a how to and a real list of the supplied you used to make the item described!

Pity about the annoying supermarket muzzak playing whilst you were talking, so we left

Less talking please!!

Sorry but you talk too much. Just do it.

Dont talk too much just show how its made...

Looks shit .good work

Totally the wrong way to build a filter pal
