[chisme121]

[MrFishermen98]

That's like 700 gallons unless that's like 5 feet deep

[dolittle1992]

@MrFishermen98 no, its right about 1800 gallons, i calculated it with SEVERAL online pond volume calculators and all of them say its about 1800 gallons

Doolittle dood,

for ur fence use 18 inch wide chicken wire with 6 inch going undergound( for burrowing purposes) 6 inch perpendicular to ground( wall) and 6 inch paralell to the ground on top( to keep turts from climbing)

Trust me on this bro.

And put pacus and oscars in there

[dolittle1992]

@beelang817

that was our original idea for the fence but we pretty nuch built a screen house over it after this video and then we are going to build the fence with about 10in underground because our soil is kinda sandy and 1ft above ground

[whitepapagold]

Very cool!

We used to do mini barrel ponds but I always wanted to go big!

The turtles will be really cool! We had a desert Tortoise and eventually he dug under the fence... But they are built to burrow!

How bad is the evaporation?

[vhaecky]

Very cool. In a year or so, after the plants settle in, please post more footage!

I like how you did the filter. Reminder: If were thinking of adding turtles, they will eat your plants, in particular the expensive ones. :-)

[MichaelSDeJesus]

this is so legit. very nice work. How long did this take?

[dolittle1992]

@MichaelSDeJesus

it took two days to dig the hole

1 day to build the waterfall and filters

and the decorations/plants took an hour or so here and there

[dazler608]

very nice!!!! u going 2 put any turtles in it?

[dolittle1992]

@dazler608

ya, i have 3 turtles that will be going in when we build the fence

[BitterBeauty19]

It is beautiful. Well done.

[dolittle1992]

@BitterBeauty19 thank you

[apauln]

16¢ sq ft... nice find. i paid 36¢ sq ft

[dolittle1992]

@apauln I really lucked out on that one

[seeyou414]

Nice I would put some wate lilies for shade for your fish.

[dolittle1992]

@seeyou414

thats what are in the pots on the backshelf, there are seven of them and they are starting to sprout but its still early.

[seeyou414]

@dolittle1992  I saw your video again yes you did pointed them out. I got distracted half way of the video the first time.

[earthling1984]

very cool! Nicely decorated! Get some fish and frogs and turtles in there! If you live somewhere warm like california or florida, they could live in there year round! How do you filter that monster?

[dolittle1992]

@earthling1984

After I get the fence up I am going to put my turtles out there. I don't want to put them out there untill its up because they will run away.
