[@QueAquatics]

fanny arthur welcome!!! Thank you so much for the kind words!!!

[@madambutterfly5343]

Thank you! You just solved my koi plant abuse problem. I can have plants and koi with no plant abuse from the koi. Thank you!

[@QueAquatics]

Let me know if it works out!

[@jeweled172]

This is the first time I will be trying the floating plants. I love the new ideas you had this year. I will definitely enjoy this project.

[@QueAquatics]

I can’t wait to hear how they come out

[@sharon314]

Can you get into having a Aquopontics Garden, and show us the best ways to do it ?? That would be so great !! With the food shortage that we all will be facing ??

[@QueAquatics]

Great idea

[@eileendipasquale1298]

You crack me up. I am learning how to save lots of money by making my own floating pond planters. Thank you for your inspiration and ideas.

[@QueAquatics]

Absolutely my pleasure

[@BigRalfie355]

This year's floating basket are more presentable. Experience and simplicity gave you an edge.

[@QueAquatics]

thank you!! I love the simplicity

[@Coronakenify]

I don't think you can fully appreciate how much I enjoy watching all the work you do (so that I don't have to actually do it). Well done and thanks.

[@learningtofishkeep665]

QueAquatics your welcome and thank you! 🙏

[@FKJ_WORLD]

I have always wanted to do that with other plants other than water lilies, but not sure if plant roots will rot. will have to check the plant store, really neat job, very creative.

[@QueAquatics]

Fish Keeping Jamaica there is a whole list of plants that do well in aquaponics

[@JeremyGoneWildPets]

These are some very creative ideas.

[@QueAquatics]

thanks!! and very affordable

[@BackyardTortoise]

Love this Sue! Going to try it for our tubs until we get the ponds dug ;)

[@QueAquatics]

Backyard Tortoise so so easy!!

[@prettypothos4me290]

Pipe insulation comes with various sized holes which may fit some things really well and show up less. I am off to get some and try it.

[@QueAquatics]

Thanks for the tip! I will try it too

[@ashscichlids7057]

Awesome idea!!

[@QueAquatics]

Ash's Cichlids thanks

[@spoiledfish6643]

Very creative 👍👍👍👍

[@QueAquatics]

SPOILED FISH why thank you!!

[@SusanforSLCAquatics]

I don’t float any plants but I do have a big planter on one shelf. Yours this year are my fav even though last years was great too

[@QueAquatics]

I like this years better and they were easier

[@sharon314]

I am changing my Swiming pool into a Talipi pond? What do you think ? I have made a few Baskets , a flooting Island , using Drain tubing , plastic coated wire underneath. Then Coco nut fiber and clay pebbles from Amazon. I want to get 1/3 of my pool covered with plants ? Could you give me any advise , suggestions? Thank you ! I enjoyed your video !!

[@QueAquatics]

I believe tilapia matures in a year, great choice

[@cindyhmcdaniel4977]

Oh. Wow. !!! Wonderful

[@shesellsfish]

Very creative DYI. Glad the ones from last year held up so well. Yes girl, you did look a wee bit ghostly outside. Videoing ain't easy. 😂 👍💕👍

[@QueAquatics]

ShelbyRae Lane hahahahaha it so isn’t Hahahaha thank you!

[@PunchiePaints]

awesome!

[@QueAquatics]

54Punchie thank you

[@nolanacheson7005]

Great ideas!! You can buy the black 'noodles' from a plumbing supply store. It's known as pipe insulation, I guess.....I'm gonna try planting with lava rock. It should stay in the baskets better... Thanks

[@QueAquatics]

Two great ideas!! Thank you

[@nolanacheson7005]

@@QueAquatics I just did a ring of old thick branches and placed water hyacinth in them! Looks great, and natural!

[@sharon314]

This year's look better, neeter !! When you had to wrap material over the pool Noodles it looks sloppie ? I got Noodles from Dollar store, they are Blue ? And the baskets are Black, kind of pretty !!

[@QueAquatics]

Sounds great

[@donaldjones3580]

Since my pond is an no longer used in ground pool I have to float the water lilies I grow, some cattails and lilies are placed on the upper steps. Then there are about 400 Goldfish. The Giant Blue Herons try but can't catch the fish. I've been using pool noodles with baskets and grow bags. Now I know how to disguise the color noodles.

[@QueAquatics]

Your pool/pond sounds amazing

[@cindyhmcdaniel4977]

You ideas are really great. I will work on floating baskets to “ suspend “. Water lilies in my deeper pool. It’s so difficult to stick them on step stools then add flat stones to elevate. 🥴. Now I can’t sleep. Keep thinking about floating my lilies.

[@QueAquatics]

Hahahaha awesome!

[@sharon314]

What part of the country are you in?

[@QueAquatics]

SE Pennsylvania

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Friendly suggestion 💡:) why not use nylon fabric for the plants? Im going to check my fabric store for black nylon tulle. Very airy so it would have good water flow vs the landscape mesh. And nylon holds up to UV rays and water :)

[@QueAquatics]

what a great idea!! I just may try this next spring. I actually have some on my shelf.

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

@@QueAquatics yay :) glad you like my suggestion. Im going to use it because i dont like the looks of the roots lol

[@prettypothos4me290]

Also nylon screen for windows sold at Lowe’s and Depot.

[@kimberleeleach8975]

Fabric plant bags would work too with hoopla hoops inside pool noodles. I’m trying it this year

[@vb2377]

I just use a plastic crate. I get the biggest one possible. My koi wrecks the water hyacinth but the crate keep them safe from the koi.

[@QueAquatics]

oh, great idea!

[@9catlover]

i can't seem to find pool noodles in black in uk amazon :(

[@QueAquatics]

Oh no! I think these were made to wrap around wire or piping, let me check

[@9catlover]

@@QueAquatics i found some black pool noodles. yehhh

[@QueAquatics]

Awesome

[@kimberleeleach8975]

Instead of pond media I use Turkey grit from feed store. It’s larger grit.

[@QueAquatics]

Really? I’ll have to try it

[@sharon314]

How about Pool Noodles and Baskets at Dollor Stores ?? $1.25 each!!!!

[@QueAquatics]

Even better

[@reelthing4u]

i dont have a pond ;(

[@QueAquatics]

REEL'S TANKS oh no! Room for a summer tub?

[@reelthing4u]

@@QueAquatics it get so hot here. i get spring and fall tubs.i got to break my tubs down for summer in the next few day. lol

[@QueAquatics]

Oh wow!

[@southfloridaafricancichlid6423]

Awesome idea might try it in my pond. Subbed and liked, swing by my channel and check it out if you have a chance

[@QueAquatics]

I am on my way...

[@sharon314]

It seem to be a Popular thing to do ? I do not swim and all.of those Chemicals going into your Body is horrible, let alone all the other problems with Chemicals going into our Air ??? And the cost ?? It's really expensive !

[@QueAquatics]

I’m going to do this
