Honestly at first i thought it would look kinda weird, like a volcano in the middle of ur front yard. But u knocked it out of the park with all the Beautiful plants and logs/tree branches 👌

You know, my absolute favorite part about this build is that you put so much effort into using resources that people generally throw away. Fantastic use of the logs and cut branches to help with stabilization of the pond itself. That AND you tied them all together to make it look like what it is. Amazing work on this pond, I love the ingenuity. Great job my friend 🎉

Beautiful! I got the same pond for $25! A store was going out of business and I scored big time. The pump was included in the sale too! I purchased it over the winter and now watching you do the magic you just did you've inspired me to get to working on mine.

$25 is a great deal!!! I definitely recommend you put your pond in ground, building up around it is way more work than digging if you can.

I usually hate those prefab ponds (it's hard to make them look good), but with the way you did the plants and everything actually makes it pretty decent. Also if you're ever looking to do a full in ground "real" pond, you should look at billboard tarp liners. Super budget liners and about as good as the crazy expensive epdm liners.

Honestly, this is my kinda DIY pond, and hour's is the only one I've found so satisfying according to my ideas and plans. Currently I've got a little tank with 4 snakeheads(don't judge me, I'm from India and these amazing fishes are not invasive, but indigenous to my country and I freaking love those fishes) but they're outgrowing the tank so fast and I've been brainstorming for an upgradation for so long, but never found one as satisfying as yours.... Thanks a bunch man, appreciate it a lot, and am definitely gonna keep a good track of your channel😁 Thanks a lot again...... PS: I'm not saying this 100 gallon tank is gonna be enough for my little ones, but it's better than what I have right now and I'm definitely not gonna stop at a 100 gallon, I'm gonna need something near 400 gallons.

Heaven knows the wildlife appreciates it! I also got a hard liner on clearance at Lowe's and will be doing something similar :) I've got to tweak some things to make things less permanent, as I rent, but I look forward to trying regardless.
