Amazing tips 🙂
Awesome helpful videos! I’m installing the Aquascape color changing lights in the pond I’m building and you mentioned larger conduit. What size would you suggest and am I correct that those wires should not be cut and spliced but they should be plugged into the 3 ways/6 way splitters?
Hi John i am about to build my pond this Friday and i have been watching all your instructional videos they are hands down the best and most informative videos for all the technical stuff. I will be using this technique for my lighting the only thing i cant find any info on is what wattage lights and how many i should used in my pond it is going to be 13ft x 11ft and 2.5ft deep
Hi thanks for your videos, do you have a online school?
Thanks G
Love your videos, no nonsense, non technical, simplifying things that some people consider magic… and you have a great sense of humour, keep up the great work John.
Are you hiring?
Love it!!!🤙🙏❤👍you rock brother…thank you for the awesome help/insight. Always make us laugh w the vlogs💪 One day hope to work with you guys!!
JG – excellent information!! Thanks!

Great tips! I already installed some of my own lights, but now I’m going to go back out there with electrical tape and make a video. Oh yeah, and I’ll keep an eye out for making some firelight magic! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Funny and informative information!!!
Great video!
What size Landscape Lighting Wire do you like to use? 12,14,or16
Thx for the info JohnG
👍 A little something in. Thanks for helping us out, John. We really appreciate you taking the time. 👍
Nothin’ but ❤ for ya, John. Nothin’ but ❤
Soo helpful. You are blessed
Great piece of information ! Definitely you are the most informative and right to the point guy among all your Aquascape colleagues!
How many 3W lights would you use for a 33’x13’ swim pond about 5’ deep?
I really appreciate you series. This helps me a lot. Especially as here in Germany it seems that only few people use the wetland filter systems, so it is difficult to find as detailed information as in your videos. (It’s then a hassle to find the correct German names for products and concepts ; ) )
I also like that the professionalism of your videos has increased. Especially the lower volume music. People watch your videos to listen to you not to music ; )
Love your videos and the series keep them coming this is gold for pond and water feature builders!!! Awesome job by you and the family and thanks for keeping it entertaining!!!
Hey John …thanks for sharing your craftsmanship (some gold nuggets) and encouraging us to be better (than our lazy boneheads). Keep up the Awesome work!
Awesome video guys !
Hahah awesome vid. Solid tips and thanks for taking the time dude 👊
Professional work right there. Much appreciated.
Great tip John
Excellent advice 🍻 did mine the same but no vid to remind me where I made the connections 🙄 should have found your vids before hand 😂 but thank you guys top work as always 🍻
That was exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks, nice video, good proper content as always! This is a minor thing, but cut electrical tape with knife or sciccors, not with hands. Then it doesn’t start to unwind. Keep on truckin’!
Thanks a lot for the content. It’s great
Hey John say you had to run a wire from a 5 foot shelf how would you run it thru the other shelf
As requested i write down…Thanks for helping us out john we really appreciate you taking the time, do something I need a little love, I mean that, subscribe to our channel, that’s all I got to say I’m done…voilà!
Great info and knowledge bombs! Keep up the great content!
Good detailed advice. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You seem a little stressed, I’m getting a Bill Burr vibe ( great comedian). Take it easy, we love you, you’re just giving it all away to educate and make the world a better place. We appreciate it and Thank You.
Great tips John! Thanks,
Thank you = really good advice.
This was great information I’m going to install my waterfall lights myself. Thank you
light bulbs lol, nice lighting video, wish we could use the wire nuts in the UK, but its not possible, keep up the good work
Do you run a solid pipe to the bottom of a pond weather it’s 2’ or 5’ down the the shelving or is the pipe just thru the Boulders on each level and then bare wire thru the Gravel?
You are super smart, love your works
John, What size and type of underwater and above water lights do you like for price and Quality? Thanks
What wiring do you guys use to hook up the pond lights?
Hi John G great very interseting thank you
Hey John Like what you do and how you explain things. Would it be possible for me to come down for a week and work for you on your team and learn? I am just starting out and want to make sure i do it right.
Knowlage bombs! Always watch your videos and always learn new things. “Squirrel” !
Dang man, you’re good
Hi do I have to buy a 60 watt transformer to connect the lights and the three way connectors to attach them? Thanks for your help! Your part of our family here in new Mexico so thankful for your 73 videos can’t wait for many many more!
Good lighting enhances the water feature as well as the landscaping🐸
Awesome tips for lighting and service if I mean when the lights need to be replaced. Thank you!
Great helpful videos John. The Aquascape underwater LEDs are literally 10X more money than other similar (even more watts) underwater lights at Amazon, are they worth it?
Once again you save me John. I ran all my pipe through the pond to come out in one place and was about to run my lights in the next few days.
Nice video! I enjoy your no nonsense approach to your educational videos! You guys rock! Pun intended… 🤣
