In todays video I finally got round to making my new DIY ‘above ground pond’, with all DIY filtration! Hope you enjoy!!!! 😊 • ————————————————————————— • Amazon Affiliates links: • AquaMax Eco Classic 5500 (the main pump i used): • https://amzn.to/3OWgOX9 • Bermuda Breeze10 Air Pump: • https://amzn.to/3qKE9Dk • Plastic Filter Grids i used for creating the void space in the bottom of the filter: • https://amzn.to/3sywjx4 • ————————————————————————— • Other products I used in the video: • The 1000L Laguna tub I used for the pond itself - I got mine from my local fish shop ‘World of Water’ but its also being sold by lots of places online - just search ‘980L Laguna tub’. • The ‘240L Wheelie bin’, i used for the mechanical filter, I got on eBay. • The 330L tub I used to make the bog filter, I got from ponds4fish.co.uk • The ‘1 inch tank connectors’ I used for the inlets on both the filters, I got from Shirley Aquatics, they have an online shop - shirleyaquatics.co.uk • The ‘3 inch threaded tank connectors’ that I used for the outlets on both the filters, I got from Ketteringkoi.com • I will continue to add to this list of where I got all the products for this build from, but if there is anything in particular that you are interested in, that isn’t currently on the list, drop me and comment, and I’ll let you know! • ————————————————————————— • Thinking of using a wheelie bin/ trash can to make a filter? • Please read the following: • Using a wheelie bin/ trash can to make a pond filter is a bit of a debated topic, some people say the plastics used to make them are toxic and harmful to fish. From my research I have not found any evidence to support this, I have however seen a lot of people use them with no problems what so ever. However, it is obviously possible that some are made from different types of plastic. Also, most plastic containers (including wheelie bins/ trash cans) will have a symbol on them somewhere (probably under the lid) which you can look up online to check that it’s not made of anything toxic that could be released into the water. That all being said I do urge you to do your own research, and make your own informed decision on if you want to go ahead. • ————————————————————————— • All music courtesy of Epidemic Sound.
