DIY Backyard Garden Pond

The pond build is finally here! I've been talking about this for months and thought that it would have been done about a month ago, but the whole thing is just so time consuming, especially with the weather we've been having. Like I said in the video, this has been going on since October of 2018 and was just a concept long before that. The whole reason that I even built this is for my goldfish, so stocking in non-negotiable... other than more goldfish lol (4 won't be enough).

This is only the first part of a few video series and I hope it gives you a good idea as to what's possible outside the realm of naturalistic ponds. Obviously that's what we all want, but sometimes it's just not feasible because of cost. Even though it's not the same type of thing, these kind of ponds can still be beautiful in their own sort of way. Plus you can create a good home for your beloved fish, which is often what it's all about.

There's so much more I could say, but the video should be able to do most of the talking. If you have any specific questions or want to see something else in the next installment, please let me know down in the comments. This one took forever, so I really hope you enjoy it.

Also a huge thanks for Oase for supplying the pumps! It was a huge burden off of me and was really appreciated. I'm using the Waterfall Pump 1650 for the skimmer and will be using AquaMax Eco Premium 3000 for the rest. I'll talk more about those in the next video and put some links below.

The pond is finally here! I'm so excited to finally get this out there. I really hope you all enjoy it. Let me know what you thought thus far and if there's anything you want to see in the next installments.

I appreciate that you didn’t say “let’s build a starter pond” and then bring in a group of guys and machinery. Most videos do.

why so many dislikes :( he did all this by himself, showed us step by step and the end results is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING :)

[reidallreid]

Channels like this are incredibly underrated and deserve a lot more attention

[misogood]

I love the fact that u show every step even when you make a mistake or something doesnt go as planned..people are saying its sloppy work but reality is nothing can be done perfectly and whats more important than things being done perfectly is learning from The experience, and by not leaving out these steps you allow yourself and everyone else that views this to learn and that in my opinion is the best part!

[Nathan-wnmc]

Young man, you did an incredible job here. What's even more impressive is that you did it all by yourself. It looks amazing. I've seen quite a few DIY ponds and this is probably one of the best. Anyone who disliked this video was jealous and lazy.

21:57 That is the cleanest backyard pond I have ever seen.

[Calaitibear]

This looks absolutely exhausting, but also so satisfying once you get to see the finished product. I love it!

Finally, an actual diy video that explains the process in step by step fashion. Bloody thank you!

[edwinvargas]

Update... decided to build my own pond and Now I have a 4 feet deep hole and an angry wife.

[georgeinadriver]

I like how at 2:30-2:40 you emphasize your rushing by actually explaining and showing quick scenes of building your pond to further emphasize your rush amazing job as always and when life buts you its ok just dont stop your builds and projects whether it be terraruim related or life related its good you came back to finish this build

[marshaeddy]

I actually like that he rushed initially, and ended up with a mess that he had to dismantle and restart. That was a good lesson to us - before we build - on what NOT to do. The job is such an enormous amount of work that doing it correctly on the first try would be important to me!
The end result is a beautiful pond, which I'm sure he and his family will enjoy for years.

Nice. Keeping it real. This is how these projects progress for most of us diy'ers who don't have a 5 person crew, limited resources and time.

[JordanBeagle]

This is seriously impressive, looks like you are leveling up in build size here, good for trying something out of your comfort zone!

[smilesdawolf]

Tanner, you are living the life! Your creativity and love of nature shines with each and every project you build.

[darkfortunes]

This is amazing how you didn’t give up and improved when needed

[sunwinggaming]

As a studying ecologist I absolutely love your videos, it truly shows the just pure fun and joy you can get out of nature. Amazing job man! I look forward to seeing the next installment

[loavesfishes]

The most professional diy pond I’ve ever seen!

Meeting you in person is in my lifetime bucketlist
