Simple Pleasures

Here is from footage of our pond, stream, ducks, frogs, flowers, fish and more. Enjoy a few of the simple pleasures of our yard.

Wow really great! I love your mixture of goldfish and koi and everything looks really natural. Also really like your frog. What kind is it? The ducks would make me nervous even though they don't supposedly bother goldfish.

Great video, I love how natural you pond looks, How in the world do you keep your stream so algae free? I also noticed you have only butterfly Koi and goldfish. For others that are interested. IMO this is the best route to go to keep koi and lily's. Standard Koi aren't nearly as nice to plants. Very inspiring pond video!

Thanks. So far not problems with my fish with the ducks. The fish actually pick at the ducks

Glad you liked it. Not the best but I have been pleased with the video from the iPhone. All except the underwater footage was done with the iPhone.

Thanks. My butterfly koi are very good with the plants. They do pick at the pea stone and cat litter but that's about it. So far very happy with the mix. As far as my stream last year I had a bit of string algae. This year I added another bio filter with another pump dumping into the stream. Total gph is about 6500 gph. So I think with the increased flow and extra filtration has been a bit help in the algae dept. The main pump is in the skimmer which goes to a bio waterfall filter. I also have 2 additional bio filters inline with a 1800 gph pump. You can see the small rock with water coming off it in a few of the video clips.
