Thank you for this video and for the 2020 update in the description. I just finished setting up my own stock tank pond and out of all the videos I watched, this one helped me the most. I did use a pond liner in mine and have yet to add any plants as Fall is around the corner, but plan to next Spring. I currently have a couple Ryukin goldfish hanging out in it and plan to add quite a few more as my tank is 8Lx2Hx3W: about 290 gallons. I also suspended my waterfall over the tank, leaving more room beneath and behind the waterfall. I'm hoping I'll start getting some beneficial bacterial growth soon, but it's only been about a week since filling the tank. Anyways, thanks again for this video!

So kind of you to stop by and say so. I'm glad the updates helped, and only regret I can't go back in time to post a more robust how-to video. But I did learn one more thing this summer, regarding fish food. Someone told me their stock tank fish enjoyed flake food, so I experimented with offering it as a treat--to supplement what they foraged naturally. We quickly began experiencing algae overgrowth and regret that the balance was thrown off by either the food itself or the fish waste produced from the food. So if feeding goldfish with flake or pellet, perhaps consider food specifically designed for outdoor/pond applications, or talk to experts at a pond supply store. Especially if down the road you start getting algae conflicting with your beneficial bacteria colony. Good luck, your setup sounds fantastic!
@zgrothus Жыл бұрын
@@ProvinceJournal Good to know, thank you! Our pond is still new, so no algae growth yet. We've only had the fish for a few days, but I've been feeding them reputable pellets recommended by a goldfish fanatic. I've also been learning about the nitrogen cycle, so I added a bacterial starter kit to help get some beneficial growth going. I built my own makeshift filter/pump basket that looks ugly, so I placed a large terracotta dish over it that covers the ugliness. I've also been using that as a "feeding tray" to try and keep the food from falling in between the rocks and rotting. Not sure if that's wise to do or not, but we'll see. I'm hoping to grow some hardy, chunky fish!

YES I would like to do what you have done with the rocks BUT question is HOW are you holding up all them flat rocks for water fall affect? I wish you had done a step by step video to let us know
@ProvinceJournal Жыл бұрын
I wish I had done a step-by-step too! At the bottom of the tank is a standard cinder block. The flat stones are rested on top of the block and built up. No adhesive anywhere in the tank. This allows me to shape the rock around the motor/filter box, yet remove the whole setup once or twice a year to clean out the filter. Each time I re-stack the rocks, the waterfall changes shape a bit but not too much. Fun to play around with how the water trickles down, plus you get new waterfall sounds each time.
@charlesmais4176 Жыл бұрын
interesting, just a cinder block holds all that up, I might give that a try. (I've read some use a milk crate) do you have your filter box under the rock beside the cinder block ? what size submersible pump did you use ? also, did you have to paint your galvanized tank, as i am reading the zinc that comes out of the tank for koi will kill them if not treated.
@charlesmais4176 Жыл бұрын
@@ProvinceJournal We do have a problem with snakes wanting to get in the tank and eat the koi i have to keep some type of covering over it so this does not happen again. do you have that issue ? not sure if snakes can climb this galvanized tank ?
@ProvinceJournal Жыл бұрын
@@charlesmais4176 Yes, I think a milk crate would work well too. One of the stones on the cinder block has a wedge shape to it that created a shelf for the filter box to rest on. So I'd say the filter box is about halfway to two-thirds up the tank. Then stones are rested on top the filter box to keep it weighted down and completely inconspicuous. Somewhere in this comment thread I mentioned a pond rubber paint that protects against zinc leaching. Yes, I do think a new pond would leach too much metal content. Ive read that old tanks stop leaching zinc, but at that point they're more prone to rust. Since I don't have koi, I did not paint. The leaching has not harmed my mosquito fish, which has been a self-sustaining colony for all these years. Same plants too. I added a water lily and it comes back every summer.
@ProvinceJournal Жыл бұрын
@@charlesmais4176 We haven't encountered snakes or lizards trying to get in. Raccoons for sure. They love washing their feet in the waterfall especially when the weather gets hot. I've considered covering with hardware cloth, but so far their damage has been minimal. Sometimes I'll have to re-stack a rock or two.

How do you get the water to run through the rocks
@ProvinceJournal3 жыл бұрын
The water pump is housed inside of a filter box. I placed the pump/filter box on a couple cinder blocks that are resting at the bottom of tank. So, the pump rises about halfway up the tank and sits on the block platform. Onto that platform I stacked flagstones surrounding the pump box. They keep the pump firmly in place and I'm careful that the rocks don't block the outlet hole on the pump. The pump is then powerful enough to push a stream of water up out of the pond and onto the rock waterfall cascade. In the past I've used riser tubes attached to the pump, but I no longer use them. The current pump is a 500 gph Pondmaster and its powerful enough to create the waterfall without a riser tube.

@ProvinceJournal4 жыл бұрын
I like that the plastic tanks don't leach metal into into the water, so they're a much better choice if you're keeping fish, turtles, etc. However, we went with steel for the farm aesthetic of it. For this type of raised pond, the plastic just doesn't look very nice unless you plan on mounding stone and plants around the sides. I also have some concern about the plastic losing its strength to sun degradation. I wonder if, in intense sun, the edges would begin to fade and chip/crack. We bought this stock tank at Tractor Supply and they sell many sizes and shapes of both metal and plastic.
