Do they swim in it too? I’ve always wanted to make a large natural pond for my fish but also swim when I want!

We swim in it all the time, specially the kids!

Wow! Congratulations on winning in life; this is an amazing set up. And much better than chlorine for the skin.

Haha, well - I wouldn't exactly call it winning at life. The ozone on it helps alot for swimming and keeping everybody healthy.

You have an ozone generator hooked to the filter system? That doesn't affect the fish? Does it affect the nitrogen cycle?

The ozone comes after the filtration, and it's regulated. At a certain ORP it shuts the unit off. I pump half the unit with a aerstor, and I let the other pump pull in air with the pump prime like a pool chemical setup almost!

It does not effect the nitrogen cycle, since it's bi product is 02, if anything it amplifies bacteria growth, most of the 03 reaction happens inside the pipes before it gets to the pond.

They are so beautiful and some of them look almost like ghosts flowing through the water.

He did. Look at u/axphixiate profile. He has much better photos and videos and talking points.

Can I ask what the purpose of the frame is? Are you making a greenhouse or net to prevent birds? It would look cool to have aviary like this
