Hey Mark, im still no further forward 😂 I’m going to be creating a small water feature with a bottom “pond” of around 45 litres and then a similar size/pre formed water fall at the top. Using stones to create a water fall type feature. Would I be fine with the smaller pump and filter or would I really need the big one?

What a lot of people don't know is they want a wall around your pond so silth/ watery sand won't pour into the pond. Some people roll the edges to create that wall, and some tuck stones underneath and around the liner to create that wall. Anyways, just wanted to share ❤

Hi mark im rebuilding our wildlife pond. The yellow flag iris took over and it was built as a bare liner. I'm going to use rocks, gravel and planting pockets. You mentioned plants you wouldn't put in planting pockets. What plants are these?

Honestly love this Mark!! I just turned 25 and have a passion for aqua-landscaping and providing more habitit for wildlife, i'm about to leave my job of 5yrs with the ain of learning how to professionally creat/fit water features after making 7 wildlife and ecosystem ponds for friends/family!! Not enough people have been educated onon the way that certain types of aquatic/marginal plants *CAN* clean up the water in the pond so effectively!! Keep doing what you're doing mate.

I would like to use plants in gravel with the main purpose of removing nutrients from the water . I recently re-lined the pond with a butyl liner and an refilling it with rain water off a garage roof. It's about 5,000 litres. It is ominously going a little green. I have used barley straw extract and have put in some barley straw bales. Do you think i could use plants to take nutrients out of the water? If so any recommendations as to how to do it. There are no fish in the pond.

I have a pond without any fish that I'm struggling to keep clean. Just gets very dark and murky algae Etc. What would you advise on how to keep that clean because there are no fish I can imagine I can hit it with stronger stuff? Any products or maintenance that you can recommend. Thank you I really appreciate it. Do those small plug-in UV filters work? I don't have any major filtering installed. It's just a pond with a pump to keep the water circulating

👏🏾 ok i get the idea now. Mark i am buikding a 3 metet round pound/pool well it will look like a pound but it will have a walk in entrace for those hot days for one to enter. I will also have a waterfall about the pound/pool which will bring water down into the pool and back out to the waterfall again. Looking at this video the eco wave sounds like the kid for me so can you give me some advice ? So i was going to make 3 large box's with one having the pump filtering the water into tye other two which then will swnd the water down onto the waterfall. Do i need a skimmer and do i need a bottom drain with this type of set up do you think ? Regards Sylvester
