13500 GALLON GLASS KOI POND UPDATE!! FISH GOING IN!

#koipond #fishpond #koicarp #koifish @TimWaddington
Delivered some of the Koi that the owners bought when I was in Japan.
They wanted some of the long fins.
The pond has suffered a UV blow out so the water isn't quite there just yet, around 90% there now.
There have been a couple of treatments in too.
Another one about to go in now.

[@daveyates8113]

I would spend hours just sat there watching the fish. Stress relief at it's best

[@davidpinner4598]

I think I would have fish guards over the glass section just in case of any jumping out

[@smithmiesterman]

cracking koi pond that ;)

[@andrewmason2879]

Fantastic bond love it 👍👍👍👍

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Hi Tim, cracking ...loved the effect of those long fins when viewed through the glass windows ...in truth koi are not designed to be viewed from the side ..but from above as we well know ...so few body shapes/colours can pull it off from the side. But that combination in the pond now is absolutely lovely. Watched the video the other day of the unboxing of the koi from Japan earlier in the year ... i hope your back down to fighting weight dude as you'd piled on abit. Closed my pond down a couple weeks ago so going through that phase of suddenly wanting to watch loads of koi videos! Also have to organise a 20 tonne lorry to fill up the koi pond and move on. Be well dude

He need to get that green water under control

[@shaunleonard8146]

Lovely pond Tim. Keep up the good work.

[@CryptoKoi]

Pond envy!!!

[@benjames2869]

Sounds like they need a surge protection device on the consumer unit to protect the whole electrical system.

[@vesawuoristo4162]

Awesome pond , thanks

[@johnmcmanus123]

love everything on this pond but that brick. can you not put rock on top of the brick to match the other stone. Also are you going to add plants

[@gavinstyles5264]

Now that’s a banger if I do say so myself 👌🏽

[@Koi.Heaven]

Great set up 👌

[@koikarma5363]

Very nice looking great

[@stevechilders2425]

Power surge or intermittent supply can blow the UVs.

[@hobbyfishchannel3120]

Wooowwww.....fantastic👍👍👍

[@cjtight-linesn.t2604]

I absolutely love this pond. Them fish are just amazing. The only thing I would do is definitely get a fish gard around the glass as i would be devastated to come out and find one on the floor one morning. Other than that I love it 👊🐠🐟🐠

[@pasha12343]

Fantastic 👍🙂

[@jaylamb477]

Amazing pond, the water pressure on the glass must be immense.

[@kohwater]

温度合わせはしても塩水浴や水合わせはしないんですね😅しかし、海外の池は濾過槽がハイテク、ガラスで横から見える池が多い、スケールがでかいのが多いですね！

[@madmikesworld5713]

Will he be putting some plants at the back of those rocks to break up the pearl neckless effect. Some short rushes etc would certainly not look out of place.

[@weddingdjMN]

Nice. Are the ledges sloping to the bottom drain to help with debris settling? Any flow in the corners? 90s are notorious for low/no flow… “sweeps” are better. Rocks below the surface will over time collect debris and will need to be cleaned.

[@MickRiley]

why the ledge? i see a koi using it for flashing! for me the water looks worrying and knocked back by treatments at the minute, I rarely have to leave my UV running all summer as i use a shade sail that maybe a good idea on this build as all that glass ond no above shade will make it a nightmare if left unshaded.

[@teresapower6786]

How do you keep them cool and does your glass go green

[@mucky1957.]

Stunning pond. I do have a Q tho. If you need to scrape any of the koi....how do you catch them?

[@TimWaddington]

A big net will be fine. The bigger the net the easier to catch.

[@mucky1957.]

@@TimWaddington I was thinking more about the size of the pond and the depth of the pond. It's going to have to be one HUGE net to reach in

[@suzypennycook3047]

My pond is only 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.2....I have a 80cm pan net and still can't catch the buggers lol.

[@suzypennycook3047]

Stunning pond and fish. How is it protected against predators?

[@TimWaddington]

They have plenty of depth and room, plus they tend to jump where air is. Hope yours are growing well 👍🏻

[@suzypennycook3047]

@@TimWaddington they sure are, I'm really pleased with my selection thankyou so much.

[@jessenewman1610]

been wondering why you never buy any butterfly been hoping for a video of the few farms in japan that have them i went trough japan during harvest season going to visit my feancee but it was before i saw your videos so didnt know about it at the time just finishing up a 14000 gallon pond want all quality long fines

[@TimWaddington]

We do buy them.

[@terryskoipond8006]

How would you get on if you had to net a koi to treat. I think even you would struggle Tim

[@TimWaddington]

A big net. To be honest they are pretty easy.

[@glennharrowven9816]

Hi Tim, that's a pond to die for! I have a pump fed system on my pond, do you have any advice or an opinion on the "retro fit bottom drain"? It's taken a few yrs to get my property sorted and now that it is, I'm told I'm not allowed to destroy the garden by revamping the pond to fit a bottom drain☹

[@TimWaddington]

I’d probably say Divorce then mate 🤣

[@glennharrowven9816]

@@TimWaddington OK, maybe not the advice I was expecting 😳 😅

[@benh3427]

Too bad that you didn't have a walkway around or on top of pond (koi are best view from the top and NOT from the side!)

[@jakejohnson411]

How come you don't see many butterfly koi

[@TimWaddington]

Not so popular in the UK.

Am I the only one that’s bothered by there not being any plants in the pond? It would be lovely!!

[@TimWaddington]

Koi would destroy them

[@CrIsStInKa]

@@TimWaddington I must just have different experience then :). Massive koi pond at my grandparents full of Lillies and plants my entire 30 years. We could just be lucky I suppose.

[@benh3427]

I have water lily in my koi pond (they are inside a pot that is one inch under the water line, around 24 inches wide and fish can't get inside).
