DIY Backyard Garden Pond (step-by-step)

[@brandonmiller7122]

I have no idea how I found this video and I have no desire to put in a garden pond in my back yard, but for some reason I watched this very intently from start to finish ha. Very nice build and good video.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

😂 Thank you!

[@joeblow8206]

I never understood why people want to look down at their beautiful fish. I have an aquarium built into the wall above my headboard. 99% you'll never see from above. The bubbles rising to the top put me to sleep

[@JESUSHEALSYOUNOW]

it is because it is simple and looks very nice

Very good!

[@prosperousutensil8178]

Your craftsmanship is top notch, as are your video editing skills. This was entertaining and inspiring. Your attention to detail helped make this a great success.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you very much!

[@highanddryful]

I placed a four tier plastic vegetable stand into the trash wheelie bin and packed each of the four plastic shelves with media from course sponge at the bottom to fine sponge at the top. When the sponge needs cleaning I simply lift out the plastic vegetable shelf stand and spray the whole thing with a high pressure hose. I also drilled a hole at the bottom of the bin and fitted a drain cap so it makes it easy to drain the dirty water when I begin cleaning.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Sound awesome!! The good thing about DIY filters is they can be completely tailored to your own personal needs 👊

[@LydiaCarr-ne3pi]

Please do a video ov your Brilliant idea.❤

[@RustyBobbins]

I’m amazed at how simple you made this. No over complication of anything and a beautiful result!

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you, bro! Appreciate it!! 👊

[@ArtemkaPannat]

I work for a very specialised firm who build large Koi show ponds and I must comment that this is THE best DIY pond project that I have seen described on KZbin in many years. Of course I can suggest different things but it is your pond and you have done an awesome job in making it, thank you so much for sharing

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! I appreciate that!! 😊

[@janred94]

And now all to gether: "As level as possible!" :D

[@mathewadams2929]

This was so great to watch. I love how you arent using tons of expensive equipment and supplies. This is way more like what the average person could do.

[@jitsehiemstra6204]

Just this now i am considering to build a pond tho 😂

[@gooddays-cg6kj]

You did an amazing job sir, you built a wonderfully made pond. I personally wouldn't add any type of substrate, because goldfish love to scavenge for food so they might suck up the substrate and give them some problems. Eventually you will get an algae carpet at the bottom of your pond, and it will look like a grass field, it will grow on your walls as well, but just scrape the sides of your walls about every three months and your pond will look amazing with an algae grass carpet floor. This was a gorgeous build sir, I can't wait to see the further updates of your beautiful pond.

[@sed6]

How do I control the algae that grows on my lilies and other plants?

[@gooddays-cg6kj]

@@sed6 As far as I know the top 3 ways to control algae are using a UV light, Beneficial Bacteria, and proper shading.

[@nightlite9009]

I'm an aquarium guy really, but I was fascinated by your build. I had a few concerns as I was watching, so there were a few sharp breaths, but you addressed the concerns as you went and I exhaled in relief. It looks really nice too. I think the mechanical filtration could be done better, but it would cost a lot on a pond scale, so I think as a cheaper set up you did well. I'm not a fan of alfagrog, so that's the only thing I would change out.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, I agree the mechanically filter could be better, the real test will be how it handles the summer months when the waste load is at its highest! I only really used the alfagrog as I bought a big bag of it years ago and thought I may as well use it up. 👍

[@ahorton6786]

As someone who wants a pond, I found this very helpful, thank you.

[@MrSonoru]

While I do not understand why this video popped up on my recommended, I definitely learned a thing or two that will help with future projects I was planning to take on around the house! Amazing work, well done.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you!! I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@kennyangel]

That is an awesome build and one that inspired me a lot to build something like this in my garden! One thing I would have done differently is use the water coming from the mechanical filter to go directly into the gravel filter (by gravity, maybe setting the latter one a little lower) and thus having mechanically clean water only in the gravel filter.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! I did think about doing that, but wasn’t sure on what hose/ pipe diameters I need to use, plus I was struggling to work out the right flow rate to make sure it all ran smoothly, so in the end decided to keep them separate. Also I thought by keeping them separate if I ever have a problem with one of the filters, I can just divert all the water to the other one. But yeah, ideally it would be good to have the water go from the mechanical filter into the bog 👍😊

[@kennyangel]

What brand/model is the main tank? Can’t seem to find something like that online ?

[@lumpiabros]

Great video!! Definitely will be incorporating some of this into our DIY pond

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thanks you! 👊

[@Tricyklist]

A unique example of packing a video with useful information and beautifully timed video. Not a wasted moment. No padding. No head and shoulders smug shot. Congratulations! Subscribed. One slight worry would be herons perching on the side. I lost all my goldfish to a greedy heron. Even had to rescue the bird when it got caught under my netting! 😇

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, I try to provide as much info as I can, even though I am still learning myself. Sorry to hear the heron got your fish, they can for sure be a big issue, my dad’s pond got emptied by a heron also..

[@MrTidjon]

Nice one! Loved the way you got the wood framing around it (stealing the idea 🙂). The only thing I might do different, wouldn't put the bog filter exit facing the mechanical one. One of those would get a "L" shaped end to create a circular water current. Cheers from Portugal

[@PONDSAGA5]

Im glad you brought the filter build back.

[@colinheslet5926]

This was an amazing build! Saved this for further use for my backyard pond build. Have a Rubbermaid 300 gallon stock tank to set up!

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thanks bro! Good luck with your build!! 👊

[@dickiedavis5240]

Another amazing video. I love your projects. Perfect blend of incredibly professional looking whilst also looking just about achievable for the average joe like me!

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! 😊

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

your a smart builder .... everything looks good ..... and yeah keep it bare on the pond ... so you can clean easy .... i like it

[@victoriascholl4607]

I meet a gentleman complaining about what was happening to his back yard fish pond. He kept putting new fish in his pond and they would disappear. He thought a neighbor's cat was killing his fish. So, he watched the pond from his house and to his surprise a very large gray crane flew down, and began plucking the fish out of his pond.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

I have a plan that should stop that from happening! 👍

[@DBerr34987]

Tell him to put a framed removable chicken wire cover on his pond.

[@celticwanderer89]

If you put a plastic heron or crane near the pond, other ones won't take dinner to go. If they think it's claimed by another heron/crane, they move on

[@rstephens883]

Hi how much do you think the build cost, very nicely done..

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

It’s true about the plastic crane, that is why they sell them so much. Herons are territorial and if they see one they won’t go there, before mine I had a heron and then a owl at night. The heron would traumatize my koi, stabbing them or stabbing them and leaving them in the yard. They were too big for him. It was horrific. The heron works great, and in winter when they are slow and the water aeration in decreased to one side as to not mix warmed bottom water with cold top water. I hate nets cause they can drop and entangle animals. So now I just put on top to float with those plastic ball pit balls that kids crawl through, they sell black ones for a lot of money. I said no to that and just got the cheap colored ones. They are very inexpensive and in the winter no one is hanging out by the pond. They can pop their heads out, frogs can jump out if it warms up and turtles can sun. No one gets trapped in our out. I don’t feed in the winter so no big deal.

[@Karnalsyn]

Beautiful job! I have always been blown away by the idea of creating my own ecosystem. I live in Canada where we only get pond worthy weather for 1/3 of the year. The struggle is real.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, your winters look chilly.. 🥶 I follows a couple of koi keepers in Canada, I think they have to go really deep with there ponds so the fish can over winter down at the bottom..

[@GinaOrtiz-c4c]

I love the evolution of your garden and ponds

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! One of the good things about having a KZbin channel is having a video log of how the garden and ponds evolve over the years!!

[@steve32851]

Very nice. Been into aquariums and ponds for 20 years. Always had bigger and bigger ponds at home but never did an above ground. I maybe try one now. Looks better then I thought it would

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, I’m hoping to build a bigger in ground pond at some point!!!

[@jonathancox298]

Stone on the bottom and sides kind of like tiles would look cool and it would help me to know if it can be done without spending to much

[@matz4k]

I love your dedication to insulation, doing it 100% let's me sleep better. The filter system looks great, I think the Bio filter alone would be enough to keep everything clean.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! 😊

[@lonivogler6449]

WOW!!! That was such a GOOD video! Your designs are straight forward and attractive. It's easy to understand and Gives me confidence that I could do my own above ground pond as well. Had one then a contractor did but it wasn't supported well enough and the side started to bow. So I broke it down and put the fish in the big pot. My big koi spawned this year so I have babies! I am using 2 500 gallon above ground pools, but want to make something more permanent. I want to have space to grow out some of the fry before I sell them. Subscribed :)

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! That’s awesome your koi spawned.. I’ve had had some surprise goldfish fry myself! Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@mayremarichal2018]

Just stumbled upon your channel its really good its really impossible to get fed up with aquariums and ponds. Great stuff well done mate 👍

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! It’s for sure a great hobby!!!

[@TobiasHolenstein]

Wow! Great job with this bro! You are quite the carpenter. It really looks great. I agree with you on keeping the bottom of the pond bare for easy maintenance

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thanks you, bro! Appreciate it!! I was really pleased with how it came out, and the bare bottom will defo be staying.. makes it really easy when using the pond vac! All covered up for winter now though.. it’s been proper cold here for the last couple of weeks!!

[@PixelModding]

I have a really similar pond to this new build, but I just have the bog filter for filtration. Funny enough I was thinking of splitting my pump with a T piece like you have done here for a mechanical filter. Would be interested to see how the water quality looks in a few months time so please do some update videos! Great job!

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Will defo do some update!! 👍

[@mishao3215]

Makes me want a pond on my patio. Doesn't look difficult thanks to your clear instructions. Thank you.👍 P.S. Just a thought. Slate on the bottom of the pond would look nice and be easy to maintenance.

[@alisonreeder1587]

Excellent video. You make it look so easy. A quality build totally impressed. Just got into fish. Fishtanks and ponds are such lovely things to have. Good job 😂

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! 😊

[@dgilbert222]

Well impressed by your skills and design, well done! I would leave the bottom of the pond bear to then easily get all that sludge out that will collect each season. The only thing I would of done differently is run the outlet from the mechanical filter into the biological filter to stop the latter from getting clogged up. As you have it the mechanical dirt will get divided equally between the filters which would worry me.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, that was the original plan, to have the water go from the mechanical filter into the biological, but I was struggling to work out the flow rates required, diameter of outlets/ inlets etc.. so decided to to keep them separate. I am in the planning stages of a big in ground pond at the moment though, and I really want the mechanical to feed into the biological in that pond, as I do think it is the best way to have it!

[@kiddwong4186]

Nice build mate. Really like the attention to detail in terms of having it all nicely tucked away with wood cladding. The two separate filters seems a bit redundant. I've got a similar above ground setup and just have a bog filter. Crystal clear and well balanced waters.

[@FXCartel]

I've got two wheelie bins filled with k1 and k2 media and my 2 pallet x 2 pallet wide pond is struggling to fight the green water I've threw some natural stuff in an done a full clean but think I might need some plants as the flow from the bins back in is nothing compared to how much water is in there. Only 3 or 4 huge koi and ten or so mixed gold fish should I be plumbing my uv filter I've not bothered to fit?? It's a never ending project everything's always for another day 😂

[@LifeUser]

I would like to make one small addition, use a UV light for the mechanical filtration section. It greatly reduced the amount of cleaning my Koi pond required and helped keep the water very clear and free of most parasites. It was well worth the cost. I love what you did and will do about the same for my Florida home. The key to any great pond is definitely the filtration system.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, I may add a UV light in the Spring.. I wish I was in Florida, pond season is all year round for you.. Good luck with your build!

[@PaulBrady-j9g]

Fantastic build! I also vote no gravel. The vacuum for cleaning is a brilliant idea. Is it a special kind of vacuum or just a wet vac?

[@karthick-goldfishes]

Mind blowing project. I hope one day I will build this type of the system in my abode.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! 😊

[@Sweatysaur]

This Is Actually A Insane Build Ngl Would Love To See More

Beautiful Job! You can tell that there was a lot of pre-planning involved. I like the use of the hand saw too.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! The hand saw really made sure I got a good work out!!! 💪

[@civilexpo7974]

In my country, we really love to make diy koi pond and I can say what you did with your filter pond are on point. I am just wondering why not connecting the mechanical and the bog as a continuous filter ? And in my experience, UV lamp helps a lot with algae, maybe you can add it as an external UV or use the internal one and put it inside the outlet pipe (be careful not to look directly at submersible UV light like this tho)

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

I did think about connecting the mechanical filter to the bog, sort of like a pre-filter, but I was struggling to work out flow rates and what size fittings I would need, so decided to keep them separate. I may add a uv in the future if I think the pond needs it, but hoping to get away without adding one for now 😊

[@MrHendrikus1977]

this build is no rocket science, but you do it beautiful and you show not everything has to be extremely expensive. Nice home for your fish, good job.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

This was amazing, you homemade all the “Aquascape” expensive products I want but don’t want the high cost! No one else does but I always raise my pumps as an “in case” as well! Probably helps in winter as well as you don’t want to pull the warmer water below and mix with outside colder air. Plant creeping Jenny as well, they don’t mind wet feet either! Algae isn’t a bad thing, just have. Uv light to not have pea green water. I always do substrate, it helps with fine algae and bacteria places to grab for the natural environment of the aquatic animals. Natural growth on the substrate is not a bad thing. I also have solar e wire stones in case of power outage.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! I’ll definitely get some creeping Jenny for the bog filter!! 😊

Looks amazing, Only problem i see is no overflow for when it rains, but otherwise really great job you have done.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Yeah, i did wonder about putting an overflow in, but decided against it in the end.. I think it will be alright, even if it overflows the fish won’t be able to go over the edge because trim around the top is higher than the top of the tub, and hopefully the water will just go into he ground around the pond.. I’ll keep an eye on it though, and incorporate something if needed 😊

[@kymkymkym2048]

I have a 90ltr koi built very similar to yours apart from around the outside another layer of decking wood wide enough and used as a flower bed, and I used massive solar filters and some plants inside and bigger one on top the float in polystyrene and I've made hide whole for them! We have Butterfly Koi but we did it like this due to cats and the solar filters are brilliant ❤

[@moos5221]

Having a pond above ground is not suitable for most climates, it is prone to overheat in summer and completely freeze in winter. I would not recommend to copy this.

[@96Caleb96]

He had a similar setup for 3 years, the fish looked alive

[@moos5221]

@@96Caleb96 Maybe he lives in a climate where it's neither hot nor cold or maybe....as a youtuber he isn't honest, since that would hurt his income.

[@oscarrobles5771]

We all fish keep, pond keep at our own risk man. All the different ways of doing things work for others or may not.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

That’s why I added the insulation, and why I’ll add a cover, and possibly a heater in the winter!

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

I never said it was the perfect design for every climate.. but I also think that most people who live in particularly hot areas or particularly cold area are probably aware that there situation may be a little different and require some adjustments because of that. ✌️

I’ve made my filter for my 300 gallon pond out of three planter pots with no drain holes. I ran a 3 inch pipe through the lower sections of it to where all three are connected that way. I have 2 inch pipe more at the top of the planter to allow the water to drain into the pond. I used lava rock and have all sorts of plants mainly elephant ears because they just love the nutrients they get. My water is sparkling clear. I can’t complain at all about my setup especially cobbling it up together really fast because my old filter system crashed.

[@mirkocattaneo2743]

Properly executed but I have a couple of question: why 2 filters? -with your correct ratio of bog (30%) you don't need a mechanical filtration, unless you are trying to acquafarm tilapia or similar. -how will you remove/wash the sponges in the mechanical filter? I really recommend a clean off valve on the bottom of mech and bog tank when you work with such heavy size, especially in case of seasonal changes.

[@catterin7815]

Thank you for the wonderfully informative video. Your pond is both well thought out, functional and beautiful. As for adding anything to the bottom, maybe some large pond stones? Like no smaller than 5 inches? Not to many, just something that would cover some of the plastic bottom while adding more dimension. They would also be easier for you to remove if needed for cleaning. Thanks again and I look forward to your next video.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! That’s very nice of you to say!! Yeah, I think I may add some larger rocks to the bottom this Spring! 😊

[@maiagrodin]

Im a total novice, trying to learn all the "whys" love your videos so far! Any reason you did no insulation under the base as you did on your ondeck pond? Can you do a "my biggest mistakes vid" to share anything you've learned in your experience. Yeah, really stoked just explain reasoning behind your builds a tad more ❤ 🐟

[@dr.froghopper6711]

I have to say job well done! I’m actually hoping to build floating, self watering, vegetable garden beds. I’m in the desert so this will certainly require some modifications. But you present some very useful information here and I appreciate it! I’m hoping to use solar fountain pump and solar powered air pumps with air stones to move the water through the system. I’m going to attempt an under gravel filter in the bottom of my main tank.I expect that my plants will provide a certain degree of filtration themselves. I’m counting on common goldfish to provide fuel to the system. They’re cheap and are quite acclimated to my region. They reproduce nicely

Really love this, makes me want too build one !! Only thing i will say is the second air stone would have been better in the bio filter to help the nitrification process and make amonia removal more effective

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Thank you! Yeah, did wonder about that, but then I also wondered if part of how the bog filter works so well is potentially creating areas of lower oxygen where anoxic/ anaerobic bacteria can grow and convert the nitrate. I could be wrong on that, but just something I kind of wondered. That said, I did consider putting an airstone down the clean-out snorkel for the aerobic bacteria, and to help prevent with channeling.

Great job mate. The amount of filtration on that pond is staggering. I'm in the process of setting up a similar size pond and was contemplating insulation, but with heat rising, didn't see the point in doing it.

[@GingerFishyOfficial]

Yeah, went in hard on the filtration! I’m pretty certain it would be fine with just the bog filter, but like how versatile the other filter is.. yeah, not too sure on how worth while the insulation was, but it fitted in nicely so thought I may as-well!
