Patio pond build part 1

[@tonymarshall5815]

Nice to see you branching out into the fresh air , I have to say that's a lovely lawn and I see you have a patio cage for the wife .

[@tomspeight8569]

Tony Marshall 😂

[@Dreadknot68]

Great job Andy! Thanks for sharing your experience. It seems like backyard ponds are all the range these days

[@jackanddan]

Andy....you’re the man!!!! It’s Awesome!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@Julie36285]

Great idea, I did mine last year following inspiration from your video. I used a pressurised spin filter and for the return water I clipped on the side a Superfish Waterfall filter, fitted perfectly. Fish very happy plants all growing nicely. Great idea, Thanks for posting.

[@tropicalmn8502]

I've got a 175 gal. stock tank on the patio with 3 comet goldfish and 4 hardy water lilies. The lilies are on their 3rd season and completely fill the tank solid. The goldfish are 6-8 inches, 4 years old. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Nice build!

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thats my plan. I love to see waterlilies and goldfish taking shelter from the sum underneath the leaves. Yours sounds beautiful. Happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@tomspeight8569]

Great work Andy buddy 👍🏻 looks smart, we will have to have a drive up to see it soon 👍🏻

[@melaniespeight.1577]

Yes be great to see you Mel and the grandchildren.

[@Kitti3529]

So cool, looks great! I'd love an update on how it's been working out for ya!

[@eddyortiz8110]

That looks real nice what a great job on the wood covering,you can add Comets they look similar to koi and have brilliant reds.👍

[@ScottMclaughlinJ]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Love it Andy!! Go Andy Go!!!! Now we get to see a pond done the RIGHT way.

[@rayconway7238]

Wow mate very nice wood cover you made for the pond, very simple and easy and looks amazing. Love the pond project idea

[@ianbrown704]

Brilliant job, I am going to copy yours and start tomorrow. cheers again

[@Cichlids23]

Looks great Andy, well done M8..

[@MyTeaandCrumpets]

Looking fresh as super clean, also I second that lawn sir that’s some clean lawn

[@jccreations6333]

Looks awesome love it great job thanks for sharing

[@MissM92]

Cracking pond! Well done!

[@graphic8111]

This idea is exactly what I have been looking for 👍🏻

[@doghows]

Very nice craftsmanship ...looks nice and a great inspiration for all of us who have winters....I want an outdoor pond but know I cant have cool fish unless I heat it all winter...

[@jscapes782]

Great vid would love to see an update on this pond 😀

[@LadyKej]

Wow, what a beautiful pond!!! I know you must be proud of yourself for such amazing handiwork.

[@Kizzy2812]

That’s excellent, exactly what I wanted to know how do 😁😁 thanks for the edit 👍🤘🏻

[@holidaze8998]

what a nice build and your patio area is lovely. Don't know when this was published but I hope to see how you hook up the pump, filter and uv. New subscriber!

[@cascadeghost2814]

Can't wait to see the fish. Diffently think you should add some plants too.

[@boyakka79]

Brilliant little pond that fella.

[@roundedrob1483]

I think it can out amazing, you did a great job. I would like to find a nice big tote like that. Great job.

[@stevenhadler9747]

Absolutely fantastic looks brilliant.. gonna try to build one myself not sure it will be as gd as yrs ....

[@ginw565]

Well done you've done a good professional looking job 👏 it has given me some insight into how to build a quick yet solid & affordable outdoor box pond. Shame there's no image or video of the finished look. Be proud it looks awesome 🐟

[@alekkoomanoff7281]

Finesse job! Grow Shubunkin goldfish in tubs on a shaded patio in Texas but they don't look nearly as nice as this Bristol Shubunkins are beautiful, elegant and hardy. The wife might appreciate them. Too expensive to grow CA cichlids outside here in West Texas so I content myself with watching your most excellent videos and growing Tanganyikans inside.

[@opgaquatics5609]

Love your videos man! Keep them up!!! Kinda wish you had an Instagram for your fish related stuff.

[@AJBAdventures]

cracking job andy, I got the next size down tub from this today, the 500L that I'll also have goldfish in, ill have to make a wooden surround also to tidy it up a bit

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thanks for watching, and good luck with your patio tub. I get many hrs enjoyment from mine.

[@mominur007]

Looks great mate, I was thinking of doing something similar. 👍👏

[@TMAquatics]

Love it!

[@baircichlids5350]

Very nicely done brother I could see a hundred of these in my backyard LOL growing out my African cichlids

[@masterbuilder6375]

Great job!!!

[@markfreeman8117]

Well done. Nice job 👍👍

[@gregedgerton3390]

Andy, there's no need whatsoever to be apologetic for your work, it's beautiful. And the comment you slid in-between your instructions was kind-of-a-give-away; you don't need to move to Florida or Texas to keep tropical's. I live in the Sonoran desert, I have plenty of room (it's just me, my fish, my dog, and a very accommodating wife). You'll be thinking more along the lines of a chiller than heat ! So come stay here ! 👍😎. But honestly Andy, I think you've got the best 'fish' channel on U-Tube.

[@macauleyshooter507]

Looks class this bud if you dont mind me asking where did you get the tub from

[@bigjs.fishkeeper]

Super cool build.......

[@FIRYX-]

Good video. Greetings from Poland

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thank you. Greetings from England. Happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@5wisher5weet]

Defo on my to do list in the near future

[@bigfishlad4847]

Love it and i cant wait to see it fìnished

[@dreablake42]

Very nice...thank you for sharing!!!

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

I built something similar last year which was 500L and supposed to be a nature pond (frogs did move in). I'm already about to replace it with a 1000L one with fish and the frogs will get a barrel in the flowerbed :)

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Excellent build

[@Samsung2980]

Hi Andy. Great video. Can you pls. Share as from where you got the black pond tub

[@evanalexander1838]

Where Can I find a tub like this? Great video and great idea!

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

You might try one of those 3' deep by 12' around set up pools one summer. Paint the outside of the pool black and cover with clear plastic to trap solar heat and you can vacation Cichlids outdoors in summer. I did that with mine one year or two..I put in some Tinfoil and Silver Dollar fish also..and boy did they they grow,and all had much color. No filter...just a pump and water plants tossed in by bunches ( Anacharis) ..I might try that again one summer.

[@jpollonais]

Amazing job Andrew

[@elizabethbowler5448]

Were did you buy your tub from would you send the link

[@russellwood4306]

Got a link mate

[@clemmysguttataemysorbicula7635]

Looks like a Ubbink Tub Ubbink Quadra 7 i think

[@CptJaneway50]

I'm in the UK too , where can I purchase the pre made liner like yours from please. Your pond is perfect , and very inspirational. Thank you 😊

[@thebear6529]

Very nice Andy

[@jhaze918]

[@johnbowering1428]

[@paultwood5170]

[@chrisartis4284]

Done a job there 👍👌👌

[@Delamerefencing]

Where did you get the tank buddy? Great build 👍

[@thunderousshore6968]

What fish are going in the pond? It might look really good with some large cichlids in it

[@Marklst2]

This is what Iv been after for my grades do you have a link to the tub

[@sirussorc]

thats awesome! you could build a matching box to hide the filter in and set it next to the pond. what are you going to do with the fish in the winter?

[@Becks-fi6xl]

Goldfish are fine outside in a British winter

[@technocraft3872]

Incredible👍👍👍

[@4gbudgetfishkeeping198]

Nice build bro

[@KoiTimeUSA]

andy new subscriber here awesome build cheers

[@alvaradocarmelo601]

Hi Andy where you got the tub from your pond looks really nice.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I found the tub at my local garden and aquatic center. Must say it was quite expensive. Thanks for watching happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@tonyhaz6664]

Where did u get the plastic tub from, what are they acctuly called? Great job you done, looking to do the same

[@djbanger]

This really good

[@boostjunkieMike]

Very nice Woodsy

[@marciesocal7553]

Beautiful

[@kasandrahawk939]

hi andy, so fond of all your fish! say, what is brand of the pond container?

[@chrisartis4284]

Laguna

[@stephenroberts668]

Very impressed Andy, where did you purchase the liner from please

[@TWR1988]

I’m going to do this, paint the outside cladding a deep ash grey, add an RGB light strip under the lip trim, and a toughened glass table top. Lights lights lights. A magical coffee table to enjoy a cuppa with neighbours.

[@ChikkiSh00gs]

How is the pond going?

[@amieflyfish2577]

Good joins there nice one !

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment

[@iangillespie3837]

Hi Andy I managed to buy the same pond as yourself How did you go about netting it with the plants Cheers Ian

[@misterbgs1]

Shared out on fishtubers notifications

[@brettskinner5824]

I'm jealous!!! hows red dovi doing?

[@lukebristol]

Nice pond! Do you have anything in place to deal with flooding in the event of heavy rain?

[@tonycook1858]

Yesssss!!! Brilliant just what I want, did you buy a filter after?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

No, I'm doing it matural with heavy planting and light stocking. All's well so far. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@laurenhanna3233]

sorry if i missed it-- what are the dimensions? either before or after the frame is built

[@michaelhollingworth6491]

Cool pond just wondered where you got the conta8ner from ?

[@simplereeflife8771]

Hey Andy I’ve recently started watching you channel after years of keeping fish I was considering packing it all in after I lost my arowana and p14 stingray in the same year! You’ve made me appreciate the lager America cichlid with I must admit I’ve always looked over! I now have a breeding pair of Midas with a shed load of baby’s lol! When your cichlid have free swimming fry would you leave some sort of lamp on over nigh or just turn the lights out

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I turn off the lights every night. If you have any nocturnal Catfish they may get some of the fry, but I don't worry about it. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos. Happy birthday to you sir.

[@simplereeflife8771]

Andy Woods thanks buddy appreciate the advice 👍

[@deanwicks3940]

Andy i have a 1200 L pond. Its a old square spa . No filter . I just have plants water lillys and floating water plants . No problems at all. Two spangled perch and two large comets. Its about 700mm deep.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

That's my plan. A lot of plants and few fish, old school. Thanks for watching happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@mick9461]

Any updates on the pond?

[@micklakin346]

Hi Andy, i know this video was almost 2 years ago but i am currently planning on building a outdoor pond similar to this exactly so i was curious if i could get any measurements and where you got the plastic mold from ?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

The tub is 5.5 ft long x 3.5 ft wide and a 2 ft depth of water. I picked up the tub from my local aquatic centre. Lincs aquatics here in England. Good luck with your build.

[@melissaprice8505]

Hi, I bought the laguna tub and will be attempting your design, do you remember the width of the deck you used and the amount of boards? Thank you lovely job

[@Marklst2]

Any information on the tub ?

[@davidjoyce3616]

Andy, Can you tell me the dimensions of your 200 gal “tub” and the name of the supplier, please? I’ve watched quite a few instructional videos and yours is the best. Simple, well explained and no ego!

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

It's 5.5ft long x 3.5ft wide and 2ft deep, and the brand name is laguna. It was quite expensive but well worth the money. Thanks for watching happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@justinstuart8382]

Hi Andy nice to see you in shorts 🤣. Can I just ask, the full length boards on the sides, how did you fix them to the tub? We couldn't see that, or are they just standing there and being held together by the corners? I was thinking of doing one of these last year using this method 👍

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Basically it's a rectangule box held together by the corners. The tub sits inside the box.

[@yogi1canobi]

Where did you get the tub from

[@carlabbott2093]

For those like myself looking for where you can buy this from as it seems you can't get them online. Having scrolled through the comments, Andy does say he purchased it from his local aquatic centre.... if anyone does find one please share

[@sachabrown2011]

Hi Andy, I've wanted to make something like this for ages!! What you've done is fantastic! What a helpful video. May I ask where to look for the tub please? I'm having troubles finding something suitable. Cheers xx

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I'm sorry I can't be of much help, but I found mine at my local aquatic centre, lincs aquatics. Quite expensive but well worth it, tank for life. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to 5

[@sachabrown2011]

@@andywoodscichlids2942 that's still helpful thanks so much I will check out my local aquatic shop👍xx

[@jonasskipper2706]

Yes ! Video from Andy

[@ronstar28]

Hi Andy could you please tell me where you managed to get the tub from
