Great Video Mel! Fantastic job on camouflaging the hardware. I try to hide everything the best I can as well on my pond. I use the same polyfil on my pond and tanks as well. Banging video braddah!

You are such a positive man, love your pond hope mine will be as clear as yours after upgrading my filter and buying a better pump.

Thanks man. I bought a property with a big koi pond that had been neglected by the previous owner and right now it's a giant breeding ground for mosquitos. Unfortunately the fish are dead and I was trying to figure out the filtration system so I could hopefully bring the pond back to life and your video helped out a bunch.

Thanks for sharing. A lot of good tips and also appreciate the brakedown of the cost of the different items. Aloha

Just got the same spillway and adding the filter exactly as you're doing it. Thanks for the video

I love this so much. I’m so ready to have my waterfall

What did you use as pump for your water fall filter? Because I'm planning on making in indoor stock tub pond in the basement where I keep my fish tanks.

Best of the 6 vids I found, thanks.

7months later, still in quarantine lol 😆 when are we going to say enough quarantine?

I like that energy

Dude I love the "ballin on a buuuudget" 🤣

What pump do you have? Can you put a link to it please? Awesome video sir!

Hi, do you have a link to order the macro pore sponge? Can't find one the size you have.

How big is your pond and how many of these spillway filters are you running please?

This is brilliant. I’ve got a newer pond and I’m trying to figure out how to keep the water clean for my fish. Thank you.

I just build a pond in my front yard but I’m not sure what I need. Will this keep the water clean or do I need a pump?

So you need to tell me if the spillway pump has a intake tube running from the pond. I assume it's buried and the pump can pull that water uphill without issues. Right?

Why don’t you become a Certified Aquascape Contractor? No more Home Depot though!

Ok I'm for SURE doing this but I just can't do it without this hat 😩

I like your creativity but I’m doubting this would work for me. Later this spring I’m redigging a 2000 gallon pond. I have 2 inch lines and with a 2000 GPH pump I think it would overwhelm that box. New sub here though. I like your content!

SUPED CHEAP DIY POND FILTER MEDIA REALLY WORKS! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ButmWKIV6Zw.html

I am new to this, recently built a back yard fall. Can I have fish in it?

Mahalo! I'm nearly finished with my pond and I actually have already purchased a spillway just like yours. I'm happy to have stumbled on to your video about your diy filtering system. I missed where you said you bought you bag of "media" I think is what you called it . I appreciate your advice. Be blessed and thank you!

I’m from the U.K. and we don’t have a Home Depot so I can’t get that cheap bag of lava rock 🥺😭

good video. oddly enough, we thought we invented almost the same thing, we used a paint tray...even cheaper lol

So how many pumps do u have on this whole pond setup?? It may have been asked already but didn't see it in the recent comments

Great Idea! We're slowly working on getting our backyard set up and I can't wait to put in an awesome koi pond like that!

good job

Thank you for the detailed show-and-tell filter video. I'm all about the budget. Your pond and scape looks so beautiful and serene. Stay safe my friend.

T Hello and thank you for the details on the DIY pond filter. I have a question how do you get the pond clean of algae?

Thanks for the video. I’m all about ballin on a budget! A small outdoor pond is my next project and you have saved me considerable $$ with your vid. Much love from the land down under 🤙🏽

Cheee 🤙🏻 mahalo for the idea unko

Thanks for showing this. Does 1 pump run both falls or do you have a pump for each side? I can't wait to start mine once all this crazy time is over.

We r in the process of trying to build a waterfall currently do u have a video of how you made the waterfall

Very useful video in your own inimitable style! 👍 Also still loving the coconut hat ❤️ Stay safe!

Solid information!

Wow, how cool was that?!! Super awesome. I gotta look up the pond video. Such a serene place to sit and relax with the beauty of nature. Thanks for the tips. 😁

Would this work for a 200 gallon pond?

😷Stay Safe My Brother🤙🏼

I put together one of these but I didn’t get one of the sponges so I used lava rock in the bottom. I will get one of those sponges next time I go out. But just adding the falls to my pond has made a tremendous difference in the water clarity. That little extra filtration is really doing it’s job. I want to add a bog filter to my pond as well. But at the rate I’m going it’s gonna take me 10 years to finish my pond lol.

Where can I buy the flexible tubing to connect to a 2” input to the pump?

I’ve been doing this for a while and it’s amazing how fast a cloudy pond can turn crystal clear. Awesome video

What size is the hose? Spec?

Thank you for explaining all this. I kept seeing commercials on what these look like but I never understood how to set it up. This gives me a better idea. Thank you!!

On the waterfall unit... What is the purpose of the plastic nipple on the top of the water inlet? I noticed you did not use that or it might look like it's blocked off. Thanks

Would you please list out the Macro pore Foam Link If you have one ?

Good job!

I wanted to say THANKS Braddah Mel! This inspired me to build a 125 gallon indoor garage pond for my 2 Oscars useing this same spill way and this same method. I spent very little money on this pond. I haven't got it running just yet as I'm waiting for the pump and some other things but I'm sure my Oscars are gonna love it.. I just recently got these 2 baby Oscars (1 Colombian Oscar, 1 tiger Oscar) I'm having some aggression from the Colombian to the tiger Oscar and am hoping that once I put these 3” Oscars into the large pond, just maybe there aggression with smooth its self out with the amount of space, you may have some more experience on this then me and is my 1st time keeping Oscars. So I value your input/ knowledge. Thanks and ALOHA 🤙

I think I have some old pillows to toss away. Should I try the filling before spending money on batting??

You did a great job uso👍🏼👍🏼💪🏽it looks amazing

This is gold,,, hi, I have a 275 gallon pond, would this exact setup be enough filtration for my pond? Thanks

You are so helpful thank you my friend 🤗

I know this is an older video but this is exactly the filter I’ve been looking for my 300 gallon pond! What pump do you use for the filter? Thanks!

Simple, straight forward, and effective. Love it. Best video on the subject yet! 👍🏼

How do you clean it? Looking for method for my AquaPond. Thanks for sharing.

This is exactly what I needed for my little 50 gallon pond I'm putting in. Thank you for sharing! This will make my life with my first pond ever so much easier.

Sorry for so many questions but the sbg that is at the top of the spillway, can it be replaced with the lava rock I found in another one of your videos or does it work differently than the lava rocks you use??

I bought the same spillway but I’m having a problem with hose size. What size did you get? Mine looks the same but can’t get it to fit into a pump. What pump are you using?

What’s in the filter macro sponge, polyfill and the living micros???

Saw your video about all in one filer. I looked on ebay and Amazon but couldn't find anything close to what you were showing in your video. Where do I find one like you had in your video. Thanks Dan

Hi, How do you hide the tubing coming out of the waterpump? is the tubing under or over the liner? your advice is appreciated. I am building a waterfall pondless stream and I am unsure how to hide the tubing.

How big is your pump for the waterfall/filter? Excellent video brother!

Does the pipe going from the DIY filter just lay in the pond? You did not show! Please let me onow

Having a hard time deciding on buying one of these or to diy a bucket filter for my small pond. I’m worried if I use this it will over flow out the sides and waste water over time although my pond only has a group of ranchu gold fish any tips or suggestions?

Would this filter work.on a 500gl pond?

I don't know if you covered this before, using native plants for some aspect of filtering your water.

Video seems to be for people who already do some type of filtering. For a brand new person to the hobby, its missing the pump, which pump types, what flow rate, how does the inlet look like?

Love this vid

You should add amazon affiliate links since you’re talking about some products that are sold there. Just a tip on extra $$.

Your video is verymuch informative plz tell me where can I get that type of tub used for filtration

Under 50 works, because it include many refills of filter media

I'm differently going to try this out.But for the bio sponge is that 35 ppi ??

Lovely pond! What I *really* want to know is: Where did you get that hat?!!! I want one! :)

I tried to attach this to my raon barrel with screws and silicone, but the screw holes still leak. How can I attach it and prevent water loss?

Ha...$62 here in Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati are :(

what size tubing did you use to connect to the waterfall box? Great video!

How do you get the water into the filtration system? Do you use a pump? If so what brand.

Hi there. I have a 750 gallon pond with a 950 gph pump. Originally I had a skimmer and 100 gallon skippy bio filter with plants in it. It cracked so I replaced with a 20 gallon tank and removed skimmer ( all per some Northern's advice). I live in Austin, TX. Anyway, the 20 gallon homemade skippy filter has media in it that I purchased from this same northern company. They look like scrubby sponges. The pond has not been clear since. I also tried their beneficial bacteria. No go. I realize I have reduced the filtering tank /system significantly and eliminated the skimmer. I have been thinking of reducing the size of the pond to help matters but the cost to have it done is insane. I can try using your filtering ideas first and see if that helps. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just seeing your video! Nice pond- but where do I get a bag of media?

I know this is a yr old. But how many gallons is the pond? Does it really work with those two filters?

For the Poly Fill, where do you find the sheets of it? I've searched Ebay and Walmart...and I only find up the bunched up poly fill for stuffing pillows/stuffed animals....

Please reply love ur videos just built mine 8000 gallons

Mahalo brah! Gonna try to revive a small pond and waterfall on our new hale in Nor Cal. Where u So Cal?

excuse me sir. Where can I buy the water pump??

Hey I just discovered your channel. You have a great personality and the videos are awesome for beginners. I was wondering if you have any videos already made on how you made the actual waterfall feature. I am looking to build one myself and I am wondering what is the best way to lay out the liner the rocks the landscape and the connection into the actual pond. Like did you carve a trench of dirt from the spillway to the pond and then add a liner? I like the way yours looks so it would be great if I could replicate it. Thanks!

I have a small pond, I want the waterfall, but do I need a skimmer on the other end? If not how do I get return water?

That thing is nasty. The bottom has a huge sludge build up. How is that healthy for the fish?

I have a 1/3 horse power pump and when I get ready to put the pump in the pond how can I protect my pump from dirt

Can u explain the bag of media (where to buy it as it and/or how to make)

love your video. could you do wyoming a favor and tell your nabors to quit moving here

I'm trying to set up some ponds outside to raise some Tilapa fish.

Instead of using the material in the bag can you use gravel ,and put it in a bag.

Thanks Buddy I know its 4 years ago but great contenet

Can you send me a video please of how you hooked up that water fall accessory

You want to put thr bio balls in the bottom don't clean them unless there proper clogged

What is the bag of media (spelling??)and where do I get it?

trying to help my sister inlaw,how do you hook up the spill way,,not sure

Use the micro instead of the poly it’s cleanable

What is goin on just Like everyone else hangin out just got 2 oscars and my cuban will be here tomorrow sweet pond stay safe later bro
