Mini Pond in the Balcony for Guppies

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Hello All KZbin has recently rolled out an Ai feature which adjusts the silent parts of any video automatically. It is called “stable volume” and is found in the “advanced settings” on your settings button on the youtube app. This feature has actually impacted some audio parts of my videos (like this one) in the form of a sudden gain and added noise. The “stable audio” mode is turned on by default and can be turned off manually by the user on their app. I am also hearing from other creators about the same issue. I will try and find out more about it and hopefully KZbin will be able to do something about it so that viewers can have the original audio experience on channels that produce quieter content with bg music and asmr soundscapes. Thanks for your support as always!

My golden retriever loves our outdoor pond she only drink water out of it. They’re doing water change for you too so that’s a plus.

[@christine3627]

I really enjoyed watching the creation of a patio pond and watched intently how you put it together. I think this would make a unique water feature by my front door, and unintentionally by creative design would be giving water to a myriad of critters needing a drink of water every now and then. Thank you so much for presenting a unique patio pond I can create with my hubby!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@deathysmile]

my mum has a pond like this. when cleaning once a week you suction water and do a refill of about 20-25%. water keeps very clean, especcially with nutrients and balanced micro organism

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks for sharing

[@adnankhokar6311]

you dont need to clean it every week if you have created a ecosystem in it, the plants and sand will take care of it

Timely; I'm rebuilding my indoor pond this weekend. Never thought about calladium as a riparian plant but it looks awesome! Thanks for the constant stream of inspiration and good ideas!

So cool! I am totally thrilled to know that you can use super glue safely in these conditions. That is so useful. And the variety of flora is just spectacular! Using a sheet of bubble wrap to prevent the sand from making the water cloudy is ingenious as well. Thank you for sharing your abilities with us. You are absolutely an artist in your own right!

Mesmerising to watch! Just two questions: Why refilling water twice? Is it located in the tropics? Since it's placed outdoors and seems that it doesn't have heating.

Thanks. Tank is big so takes several rounds with my watering can to fill. I can use a garden hose attached to a tap but I did not have one at that time. Yes I am in the tropics. Summer is our biggest problem not winter.

Algae will start to grow real fast. Needs snails , shrimp, duck weed and Otto to keep it at bay. Otherwise really fast outbreak. Got 3 such patio ponds on my deck . Sunlight does whack havoc on the algae growth.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Algae is part of any ecosystem but yes it doesn’t look aesthetically great and can sometimes suffocate plants and livestock in small setups. My solutions towards algae control are the following. 1)No direct sunlight in my balcony 2)Water changes twice a week. It helps yo keep low nutrient levels 3)No ferts so far. Helps to keep low nutrient levels 4)Heavy planting to help use up nutrients 5)Nerite snails to snack on algae 6)Floaters to use nutrients and limit light 7)Lots of emerged plants with roots in water to use up nutrients 8)Regular water testing for ammonia, nitrites and nitrate levels 9)Keeping a close monitoring. There is currently some algae up on the walls which is normal and expected. I live in India so warm tropical climatic conditions support algae growth. Haven’t scraped it off yet as it provides food to my algae eaters. Update coming soon.

beautiful work but since the water is still it doesn't become an ideal place for mosquito eggs?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Guppies feed on mosquito larva. Also there is a pump running at the back which discourages mosquito breeding.

[@xeninweb]

@@TheUrbanNemophilist I understand, rightly so, and the fish eat them. Unfortunately in the past I made a mistake and my tank filled with mosquito larvae, I learned the lesson... never keep the water still and without fish! 🙂
