Small Fish Pond and Cascade by Pondguru

Pondguru

A small fish pond which was built in place of an existing pond. A short cascade was added which is fed by an Oase Filtral 5000 filter. The pond can be about 4" (10cm) higher but it is below fill level to give cement in the top of the wall a chance to fully harden. Check out my other pond videos - there are dozens on my channel and in the 'Pond Construction' playlist.

The trips and thoughts of the Turrell Troops - 8 years ago

Hi I'm thinking of a small pond with a cascade in my back yard, wondering if you would give me a quote if your still trading thanks

I gave up making ponds a couple of years ago but if you send me your postcode (I'm assuming you are in the North East?) I will recommend the nearest people I trust to install ponds:

+Pondguru Outdoors Mr. Richard Can you make a vid, tips, and ideas for large South american cichlid keeping in the pond

Michael Garcia - 10 years ago

Cool little pond.

brebreboo lardoo - 10 years ago

how to out the exist water? not to get full..

ALI NAWABI - 10 years ago

No raccoons in Australia my pond is safe

Pondguru - 11 years ago

Yeah, electric fence is probably the way to go. That would be my first suggestion as it tends to be the most effective. Thanks for watching and appreciating the video.

Selina Caballero-Fullmer - 11 years ago

The pond is beautiful! I live in the USA, Northern California , how would you suggest I keep the raccoons from get into a pond. My neighbor has a koi fish pond and has to put a electric fence around his pond so the raccoons don't eat his fish.

As long as the cement is left exposed for 1-2 weeks then pond filled and emptied after a day or so of being full, much of the stuff is just washed out and then it will be fine. If there was going to be a lot of cement exposed (e.g. formal koi pond) the whole of the cement / render would be painted to seal it in.

Alan Rennie - 11 years ago

Hi just came across you channel and just loving the videos. Just one question. When I was building my pond everything I read said not to cement in rocks etc because lime can leach into the water from the cement. You seem to cement everything in with no ill effects. Have I been reading the wrong advise or am I missing something.

Pondguru - 11 years ago

Very simple but fit in well with the compact space. Thanks for watching and appreciating.

AMBRIELLE GREGORY - 11 years ago

Still amazing

Pondguru - 11 years ago

? We didn't use any concrete.

DANNY TRAN - 11 years ago

Sorry I'm no professional but the concrete on top looks un-natural

Pondguru - 11 years ago

No worries, man. Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.

alarmrat - 11 years ago

thanks for the pond tips, I have learned alot and really enjoy your pond videos. I also have koi pond and my fish are 8 years old, meaning it takes more work to keep things clean and healthy. keep the advice coming my fish thank you, alarmrat

With whatever they are partial to 2-3 times a day when they are feeding well.

XxXUpInSmokeXxX - 11 years ago

Realy beautiful, well use of rocks

Rosie walter - 11 years ago

actually i am more worried about the pond overflow. willhave tomake the side near house higher!!

Pondguru - 11 years ago

Generally run-off from surrounding land wouldn't be a problem but I suppose the occasional pond will get run-off to a small extent.

Rosie walter - 11 years ago

hi i dont see a capillary barrier in any of your videos. is itnotnecessary when rocks are put around edge?

Pondguru - 11 years ago

I got them from a local quarry

Yohan JOE ROY - 11 years ago

where did you get the rocks

SuperMaxibaby - 12 years ago

preditors ? no net to deter cats or the dreaded heron

Wolves Away - 12 years ago

No, don't worry mate! Don't go out of your way to do it, great video though.

Pondguru - 12 years ago

It would be good but its miles away from my house and not really in my usualk work area however if I get the chance, yes, I will get a video of the lights at night no worries.

Wolves Away - 12 years ago

Would you be able to make a video of this pond when it is dark so I cana see the lights?

Pondguru - 12 years ago

I just try to avoid putting one under trees or too close to a house and thats about it really.

Tom Manly - 12 years ago

How do you pick a good location for a small pond? Sunlight, shade, drainage, all these have to be an issue. Tom in SC

Pondguru - 12 years ago

If the pump keeps going its good to prevent freezing but ideally it needs to be moved to just under where the stream pours in to prevent chilling the rest of the pond. I'd always keep the pump running but move it under the stream exit.

Pondguru - 12 years ago

The pond is quite deep and can go about 4" deeper. As it is a small pond some of the fish will outgrow it soon (orfe). I don't know if it shows on the video but there are about a dozen goldfish and orfe in there which is too many but they were in the existing pond.

Pondguru - 12 years ago

Apparently it does look very nice with the lights on. Its not very near me so I probably won't get back on a night unfortunately. Thanks for watching.

MrN1z4r - 12 years ago

well done, hope u can make a video when u got fish there and at night with lights on, must be awesome.

Fabulous - 12 years ago

@NeilsNature If the pond has a deeper end then the fish will most likly be there because it's slightly warmer so in places like England there should be a fairly deep area for fish to rest and because it's cold, they won't move as much or need as much oxeygen, this only applies to cold hardy fish like koi (if the pond is at least 1 meter in depth) and goldfish
