North Park Village Renovation: A 100-YEAR-OLD POND! - Part 1

[@emjaygodd]

Great video. Nice to see an early prototype of a wetland filter and snorkel so many years later. Really appreciate that you give honest advice on what has worked and not worked over the years.

[@cbwaterfeatures]

Great video. So appreciate the explanation of angular stone vs round river stone. I'm building a new pond for my turtle this summer and plan to have an intake bay as well as a tiny wetland filter. This info is priceless. Thank you

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Short Sleeve Glad it helps!

[@cbwaterfeatures]

Ed. Thank you so much. Any advice for a very small pond/stream. I'm talking about 300 gallons including the aquablocs underground. He's not a very aquatic turtle. Really only needs the water for brumation

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Short Sleeve What type of turtle?

[@cbwaterfeatures]

@@edbeaulieu5916 NA wood

[@cbwaterfeatures]

@@edbeaulieu5916 Not sure if my last reply went through, he's a North American Wood Turtle

[@PuffOfSmoke]

Learning a lot about proper filtration and the right rocks to put in... Thanks.

[@bobbistevens746]

Agggg already ready to see the rest of these for this project!!!

[@bradshantz2272]

That's a cool park/ project. But on question. Will that fabric wick the water out from the pond

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Brad Shantz Yes, but I’d rather protect the liner and periodically add water than let the liner get damaged.

[@bradshantz2272]

Ok that definitely makes sense, I'd rather add water then rebuild from a hole too.

[@OnlyMotivatingPeople]

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Danish patriot WWG1WGA Thank you!!!

[@nietrelevant3338]

any reason you guys use pebbles over lavarock or acid treated pumice? Since that is what is mostly used in european ponds.

[@TEAMAquascape]

nietrelevant availability and aesthetics

[@edbeaulieu5916]

I’ve used a lot of lava rock over the years with great results but it’s cost prohibitive on a large scale.

[@andioop5661]

I NEED VIDEO IDEAS!!!😭😭😭

[@aicram62]

So I have a question I don't understand why you need a liner on the bottom of the pond out in the wild there aren't any liners if your pond is bio friendly or eco-friendly or whatever I don't understand why you need a liner can somebody explain that

[@TEAMAquascape]

Yes the ground doesn’t hold water. That’s what the liner is for

[@aicram62]

@@TEAMAquascape OK so how do lakes and ponds form out in nature?
