Thanks for the pond vids! How was the temperature fluctuation in your smallest pond?

Super pond.

He should sell fish online

muffemod - 7 years ago

The logistics of shipping fish are considerably different and carry associated risks.

CoralMan24 - 7 years ago

Hey Jacob love the channel and plants you sell would you tell me where I may find a list of things you used to build a pond like that or like the other where did you get the information on how to build it and all the things needed?

This may be a silly question but do you have a hard time keeping mosquitoes out of the water?

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

I have noticed a couple but the fish in the pond tend to bother them too much for them to have time to lay eggs. They also will eat the eggs too. Thanks for watching.

JR Patilan Gaming - 7 years ago

i had 10k galon pond i know what you feel when i did it

JR Patilan Gaming - 7 years ago

use flood lights better than those lights and a lot cheaper @jacob

Carly Romenesko - 7 years ago

I love all of the plants, but I'll never put any in my goldfish tank. I just watch these videos because I think you're stinkin adorable. Haha.

By the way, I think that's a lake, not a pond lol.

Alex Cordovez - 7 years ago

Whats your substrate?

James Kilgore - 7 years ago

silica sand

eisenklad - 7 years ago

i wonder how you reach the middle?

eisenklad - 7 years ago

sweet... :P

i been watching your vids alot recently. i'm getting more into planted tank... i have a low tech tank. DIY lights and CO2.

i tried dwarf hairgrass... but i lacked penetration. they died out mostly.. but i think i found a new plant to play with...i wish the fish shop i get my plants label the damn plants

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

eisenklad I put on my diving gear and jump right in.

The Fish Tank - 7 years ago

Looking good:) How do you plan on combating algae or hair algae growth in particular? I have snails that I used to eat a lot of the algae but it still grows like crazy due to the nutrients that I have in my water from my goldfish. I actually grow plants like strawberries, onions etc. etc. in my system to eat the nitrates. I may have to stop by your nursery because I live in Huntington Beach California so you are not too far away from me:)

It's absolutely fantastic! While watching the video I was thinking you should have some fish in there, and then you said it on the video. I'll be watching for the fish and what you do for the better filter.

Matt NYC - 8 years ago

Jacob, what support is underneath the pond if I may ask?

Yam Gaming - 8 years ago

All About DIY - 8 years ago

Hey Jacob, I just talked to you on the phone, thanks for taking time out of your day to talk to me, I hope to see you in canoga park on January 7th at SAMs discus farm for a meet and greet and maybe an interview. Can't wait to do a nursery tour as well. Good luck and have a good one!

All About DIY - 8 years ago

JacobsAquarium Likewise man, have a good one.

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

Sounds good, look forward to meeting you.

All About DIY - 8 years ago

JacobsAquarium that's such a bummer to hear, I'm not a fan of 2 faced people either. I'm going to go and see what happens. I will also let you know when I plan on coming to the nursery. Ttyl

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

Yeah I could still go, but like I said, wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for me. I won't say any names, but some of the people there are just not good people. They put on this happy persona for their public YouTube audience, but in real life, they're mean, hateful and just plain unfriendly. Its too bad, because it ruins potential opportunities, like this one, to meet some of my subscribers. But that's fine. My viewers come to the nursery all the time, as I'm sure you will someday. Take care.

All About DIY - 8 years ago

JacobsAquarium hey no worries Jacob. Sorry to hear that. Wish you could make it. Maybe another time. Good luck with your channel and nursery. I will be in touch with you soon.

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

Changed my mind, sorry about that. I found out there will be some people there that I don't quite get along with. It wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for me having to avoid them the entire time I'm there. So I'll pass, but I look forward to meeting you someday. Have fun at the meet and greet. Thanks for watching my videos.

Pete B - 8 years ago

hey I'm just getting into aquariums and want to do a planted tank but I'm kinda nervous about it. what 5 plants would you suggest that I can purchase from you that are easy to maintain? I want to do a sand substrate in a 50 - 65 gallon tropical community tank..thanks!

TheLoachGuy - 8 years ago

A good name for the pond would be.... SUPERDUPERFANTASTICO Mega pond! :) Love the channel so I subbed.

The Midwest Fishkeeper - 8 years ago

I think I'll be making a Jacobs Aquarium Plant Unboxing soon after watching this video and seeing the absolute quality of these plants!

Monica R - 8 years ago

how often do you do w/c on the ponds? rarely or? 0.o

Mgtow Monk Templar - 8 years ago

too bad predator and oddball fish can't live in outdoor ponds. maybe they can, but u prob need some kinda advanced heater for both summer, and winter. Aimara Wolf Fish need to live in the wild or a gigantic pond like yours, same for other large oddball predator fish.

Monica R - 8 years ago

JacobsAquarium thanks!

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

With all my previous ponds, I never did water changes. I would only top them off so the water level was always the same. I did regular testing and my parameters did not change much if not at all. I figured a system like this was more stable because of its size. Thanks for watching :)

L.R.Bretz's Aquatics - 8 years ago

Looks awesome, I want one! Careful with that Val in there it will take over fast if you let it.

Znow - 8 years ago

I would put a freshwater stingray in that

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

That would be cool! :)

Emmit Stewart - 8 years ago

My first thought was " bigger than Mega pond, it's got to be Giga Pond." I see that I wasn't the only one. looks like you have the name.

TheLizander - 8 years ago

Very cool to see! You should call it "The Giga Pond"

You-Tube Junkie - 8 years ago

Very nice......

Yaswanth Gandi - 8 years ago

Seeing how you built it would be awesome.

The Deamon - 8 years ago

I'm glad you moved from fish to plants. your passion for plants is great and you got a green thumb for it too.

it is amazing work. we would love to see after 1month period growth. how well it goes ?? 1month

Andrew Marcus - 8 years ago

What fish are you going to add?

Aidan Seow - 8 years ago

Fancy or koi guppies would be great and they breed like crazy in such big pool.

Alpha - 8 years ago

Aren't you worry about algae?

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

Alpha lee I use a UV Sterilizer that helps with free floating algae and bacteria. I also keep allot of plants in the pond which consume most of the excess nutrients nuisance algae feeds on. The pond is currently free of nuisance algae and will continue to be. Thanks for watching.

MA FishGuy - 8 years ago

looks good Jacob. the pond is Huge.

Galaxy Aquatics - 8 years ago

Cool but no tropical fish

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

Yes they can. I'm not worried at all. I've grown all these plants you've seen in this video, in a variety of conditions, outdoors and indoors. As long as they have a sufficient supply of co2 and nutrients, they're fine. Thanks for watching.

Eric K - 8 years ago

Awesome job Jacob. All those plants can stand those extremes in summer and winter? As you know, corona can get in the 40s often in the winter, and in summer it will get into the 100s.

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

Well that would be pretty challenging. 99% of my nursery operates outside exposed to the elements. Other then the Greenhouse, but still that too can fluctuate drastically in temperature. Tropical fish would not survive in these conditions. Its possible to control temperature with chillers and heaters. But the cost in electricity alone and just to buy those devices would astronomical given the size of the holding systems I'd have the fish in. I'd love to offer Tropical fish but its not possible in a retail nursery environment. If my business was indoors it would be possible.....thanks for watching.

Galaxy Aquatics - 8 years ago

Do you keep any fish in your facility

JacobsAquarium - 8 years ago

I will be in the very near future. It will be mostly authentic Japanese Nishikigoi and Goldfish. Thanks for watching!
