Chris and His Pond: A Veteran Fish Farmer's Two-Way Journey with Poposoap

While many choose travel or exercise to combat stress, Chris, a fish farmer from Ontario, Canada, has chosen a unique path to healing—spending 30 years creating an entire "water world" in his backyard.

Building an Aquatic Wonderland

Having kept fish since the age of 10, his backyard is now surrounded by trees and ponds:

• A 10,000-gallon pond, 6 feet deep
• An ecosystem with a total volume of approximately 15,000 to 17,000 gallons
• ABC circular breeding ponds specifically for raising various fish species including goldfish, tiger bream, red snapper, and killifish
• A 400-gallon indoor ornamental pond + a new project under construction

In North American fish breeding circles, he is already a well-known name among thousands of enthusiasts. But for him, the reason behind these achievements can be summed up in one sentence: "This is how I heal from stress and rediscover myself."

Chris's Encounter with Poposoap

Before using Poposoap, Chris had tried countless brands of water pumps and filtration systems, but had to replace them almost every year—either they broke down or their performance deteriorated too quickly. Until one day, he installed a Poposoap pump and filtration system into his newly built indoor pond.

Simple to install in just five minutes, yet it supported the entire 400-gallon tank. Stable water quality, powerful pump, and robust construction led him to choose Poposoap immediately for his beloved red snapper. He laughed, saying, "I often refuse products from other brands, but Poposoap will never be on that list."

Later, Chris used the Poposoap system to build multiple outdoor and indoor circulation systems, and even created a new indoor pond for his tiger bream and other species during the winter. Countless fish enthusiasts first learned about Poposoap through his articles.

The DIY Ethos: Simplicity and Reliability

Thirty years of experience digging ponds has instilled in him a habit of solving problems himself: he built his own filtration systems; he optimized piping and filter media; he recorded his ideas in a notebook; he modified equipment to improve stability. He says, "I'm not a plumber, nor an engineer, so I have to design everything to be simple and reliable."

The Poposoap system perfectly meets his highest requirements for DIY:

• Plug and play
• No need to buy extra parts from hardware stores
• Intuitive structure, no complicated instructions
• All parts are high-strength, durable, and reusable.

That's why he's so candid: "Your pumps and filters are among the few products I truly trust and am willing to use consistently."

Tangible Benefits: Healthier Fish, Cleaner Water

After using the Poposoap system for a while, he noticed several significant changes:

Improved water quality. More stable water flow and more efficient filtration make the pond cleaner and reduce sediment.

Fish are more vibrant. The colors of the goldfish, wrasse, and tiger bream are brighter, and their condition is better than before.

Save on electricity bills. The kit has solar power and battery backup, so there's no need to worry about oxygen deprivation for the fish even during power outages. It also runs on solar power during the day and can be set for low-electricity periods at night, saving him a significant amount of money annually.

Sincere Feedback from Chris

Chris wasn't just "all talk and no action." He also provided Poposoap with valuable suggestions, such as: adding larger capacity filter cartridges; a clearer product categorization and search method for the website; listing more accessories; and adding more features to the filter system. These suggestions all stemmed from his observations and optimizations after actual use.

We are truly grateful for Chris's suggestions. Poposoap always encourages such feedback.

Many improvements to the product system are inspired by him and other experienced users.

Why Chris Recommends Poposoap

He commented, "For small to medium-sized ponds, Poposoap is the best choice." The reasons are simple:

• High quality and durability;
• Reasonable price, unlike some American products that cost an exorbitant $800;
• Easy installation, no extra tools required;
• Complete set, no need to buy additional parts;
• Suitable for balcony tanks, 600-gallon ponds, indoor ponds, or small backyard fishponds;
• Rapid product innovation and responsiveness to user feedback.

Chris even proactively recommended that his friends follow Poposoap on social media and encouraged them to participate in testing and article production.

At the end of the interview, he said something very simple yet powerful: "For small ponds, Poposoap has done the best." This wasn't a scripted collaboration or driven by commercial interests, but the heartfelt words of a professional fish farmer with 30 years of experience and who has personally dug over a dozen ponds. It's an honor for Poposoap to receive such high praise and trust. In Chris's fish-keeping universe, Poposoap is not just a tool, but a stable force and a therapeutic companion.
