20 Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Build a Koi Pond

[@QU35TIONZcc]

"If you don't think you have predators in your area, build a koi pond and see what happens" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That made my day I can just imagine you have told hundreds of people over the years and always been proven right.

[@xSean145]

Ive never watched anyone talk for an hour with so much enthusiasm. Very nice and informative video!

[@oldmod2866]

Had my koi pond 25 years now and found this very informative, you never know it all. Thank you.

[@PaulJersey]

I got an unusual Christmas gift. A huge sink hole opened up in my backyard Christmas’s day. The location is perfect for a koi pond. This guy is fantastic and answered all my questions.

[@balynch4780]

This was like a master class on building a pond. Thank you for sharing your many years of wisdom.... just amazing how many mistakes we would have made had we not seen your video.

[@mef1975]

Wow, someone that's actually looking enlighten others, how awesome!

[@lionomaree2997]

The most informative video of a Koi pond i have ever seen, truly professional and educational for a beginner and connoisseur alike.. Keep up the good work, enjoying and learning from your Channel!

[@jeremymanning2132]

The best, most comprehensive and informative video about Koi ponds I've seen. As someone who is currently building my own pond, you have given my much food for thought. Thank you.

[@paulhenson172]

Excellent information this gentleman is absolutely 110% right.

[@JonnoPlays]

I love this channel so much. I'm about to watch every video. Nobody else on KZbin is really making anything this high quality for Koi fish

[@bigdreams5554]

Wow, this is an amazing resource for any one thinking of building a koi pond, or even for serious aquarium hobbyists. Thanks for sharing all this wisdom. This video contains the best explanation of head pressure and flow calculations I have seen online. Thanks!

[@darleenbeard6745]

Wow--so informative. This makes me want to ask you to come to my house and build mine! But with a low budget, I am building mine myself and will do what I can afford to have a good, safe, clean pond. Thanks for so much information. The best video on pond building I've found so far. Now I'm going to your site.

[@grantgrobler3850]

eight years later - still an awesome education

[@stewartwoodeson6953]

Thanks for taking the time to run through the important elements of koi pond building. I'm glad I watched this before starting my project and hopefully there won't be any expensive mistakes now...

[@robertsmith2442]

This company is awsome .They are willing to help always. Great info.

[@PalJoey-rm2yh]

A thoughtful video, well organized. It gives the theoretical rational for design choices so that, even if you have to compromise to save dollars, you can at least address the inherent problems.

[@ramia818]

I just wanted say "what a well thought out presentation and very educational !" thank you !

[@renzmichaelbasmayor4907]

Can't believe i finished an hour of discussion. This is like a masterclass both in the perspective of science and arts. Well, a renewable energy like from solar or wind can be a good investment for the electricity bills.

[@WeDareToPrepare]

I wish we had an outfit like this in my town! Great detailed info. Thanks for sharing.

[@mannixon711]

wow! this is my dream koi pond. i am so obsess about this video, i am so heaven how so clear the water and i can swim in there.

[@ankushkaul6909]

I never thought I wouldn't even skip a ingle question explained. Loved the content .

[@squareeyes9543]

Fantastic information and a learning code for us Koi Keepers , one thing if I missed it there was no mention on Oxygen , I will watch again just in-case I missed it

[@bradsimpson8724]

The timestamp you need is about 35:00, discussing the benefits of jets.

[@henryjarrett3586]

I'm building a 7x15x5 pond next year hopefully I have a cold area and a cat lol not for koi sadly just fancy goldfish cause I love those

[@TheMrFreebody]

thanks for this video sacramento koi. It was a great watch. just bought my first house and its been my dream to build a pond since I was a child. this was a very informative video for a person who has never had a pond, what most would assume as common knowledge is not for a person just getting into owning a pond, and specially like me, who plans to build my own concrete pond. best of luck to you and yours.

[@archerhill64]

What an awesome and informative video. I can imagine what kind of pond I could have with this gentleman in charge of the project.

[@tomtina6079]

I found your video very, very useful. Thanks for sharing. Best Regards from France

[@Ian-Reed]

What a great Vid thanks for sharing and sharing your vast experience...I only wish you could come and put your pond in the vid in my back garden in DerbyUK!

[@Manrealty-JohnManGroup]

very educational..

[@Ashley-eo7we]

Incredibly informative, and surprisingly entertaining! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Charlotte_TSilva]

Very informative. I'll be sure to call on you guys to build my koi pond. Thank you. Blessings to all.

[@cmclaren7]

Thank you for sharing your many years of experience. My pond gives me so much joy. It's my second pond and I'm dreaming of the next one. Your advice will be taken to heart.

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Fantastic and very informative talk, I just wish the water volumes would have been done in litres as that is a standard measurement worldwide whereas gallons isn't...I also wish we could have seen that pond better in the background, those fish looked stunning...One last wish, I wish I had more room for fish!

[@anthony9thompson]

Talk about demanding the gold plated solution for everything. Lots of great advice though

[@mmmmmaucito]

Awesome video! Thanks for all the advice. Often times we just start a pond project without really knowing what we are doing. These information will save me and I bet others many headaches. Pura vida!!

[@dsgcloud6092]

Very well organized thoughts and informative!

[@eezapata2]

so much great information.

[@wjp555]

What a helpful and informative video. Thanks!

[@rogergeary2893]

Some excellent information and tips - know doubt acquired through a good degree of experience. and I would add ..... presented in a very casual but thoughtful way. Thank you

[@karenkuechle9381]

Very appreciative of the information you have presented. I have some rethinking to do regarding my design.

[@chrisleonguerrero4178]

Mr. Walker thank you very much, this is an awesome tip Been following you 2020 trips to Japan and I've enjoyed your videos. 👌👌👌

[@gabriellesimard2337]

I love that you care do much for the fishes, very great video and tips!

[@itsmejo1980]

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing information. Really helpful for all pond lovers

[@makssk131]

Really good video I love it .my koi in the future would have died thanks......

[@indibhart5731]

Enjoyed listening to this gentleman very informative and interesting.

[@yuanchiu4198]

Thanks for the tips! I have 2 questions on the flagstones on the inside of the pond above the water: * Assuming mortar is used to adhere the flagstones to the wall, how do you seal the grout joints so rainwater running on the wall does not wash contaminants into the pond water? * Assuming a liner (sprayed or just draped over) is used, how do you prevent it from peeling off at the top, near the flagstones. Is it secured under the flagstones? Thanks a ton.

[@sanjeewaabeyratne1562]

Wonderful commentary sir, very useful information and advice.

[@philipmemm]

i have a nice 700 gallon pond i dug out my self, i would have made it deeper but i couldn't dig any more.haha anyway i have a few koi and goldfish, any they are ok. deepest part of the pond is about 28 inches and i have one little bio filter, a ton of plants and they are great! i have to admit, i wish i had $15000 for a pond but my 300 dollar pond is awesome. I just wanted to comment this because I must say... this video was very discouraging..hah

[@tio.semilla]

even if everything you say is wrong, i just like hearing your soft voice

[@anthonybutler7866]

This video is such a great eye opener to how to properly do that!!#perfect

GREAT VIDEO

[@julenekowald3292]

nice video , you should be president of all the clubs so you can make their videos.

[@antonkhuu]

great info .

[@raunaish]

good infomation for me

[@TheNadeem7860]

I was wondering is it ok to fill the pond with well water ?

[@bradsimpson8724]

If you can drink it and it's not chlorinated, fish will be happy to live in it.

[@Palmettokoiandgoldfish]

This a great video. Very informative.

[@orsons8586]

are we allowed to swim in the pond with fish ?????????

[@lelanidixon7941]

Great information!

[@tammyconklin7717]

I built a concrete pond without having any knowledge of how or what I was doing...years later and I still have no clue of what I'm doing...I have goldfish and minnows...now I have this pond that the rubber paint is peeling off throughout the pond and the bottom of the pond is very dirty...plus I believe my fish are now over populated...before anyone says it, yes I probably should have talked to someone who knows ponds and could have helped me plan it better...

[@MrKaikung]

great info, thanks :)

[@Mario-un4xs]

I have a question I live in New York Long Island and we can we can have some bad winters I have a deicer I put in for the winter now I got two pumps one for the UV light and 1 foot that runs on the ground the line for the regular pump now the one that’s on the ground like the one that the lines run on the ground the regular pump it’s a it’s a skimmer pump. Do I have to take the pump out for the winter like I’ve left it in there and put is it bad to leave it in the winter while it off?

[@rizalyurista95]

master!

[@2011blueman]

Question number #12 is probably the biggest reason that the pond "fad" failed in the midwest. Everyone wanted a pond and they installed the rubber liner ponds without bottom drains and generally built them too shallow. Then they suffered the repercussions and filled the ponds back in.

[@sacred_mochi]

I wish you had your branch offices in Japan.

[@MrLeor16]

What were the total costs of building the pond in the background? Including materials and labor. Thanks

[@SacramentoKoi]

***** That price is just for the pond. Fish prices can very dramatically depending on the quality of the koi. We do have koi starting as low as $25 a piece for 6 inch ones.

[@thomaschambless6557]

Sacramento Koi wow that's expensive but its cheap if you think about the size and beauty. my aunt paid more for a heated saltwater pool.

[@BigDaleT]

How big is that pond behind you?

[@SacramentoKoi]

The pond that you see in the background is a 9,000 gallon pond.

[@SacramentoKoi]

***** At the time that we filmed this video, we had about 18-20 koi, ranging from 20" - 34".

[@jimmyc451]

is there a jet you recommend for liner ponds?

[@MoreGrievances]

Thank you!

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

What if you have an indoor koi pond?

[@amirseifi1646]

can you swim in a pond?

[@goneviral6037]

also, I don't believe uv light and chemicals are best way to kill algae, I would say enough plants in your bog filter so that the algae cant grow is a better way!

[@bradsimpson8724]

Define better. The bog filter method is more natural, of course, but it's based on the plants inside out-competing the algae for nutrients. If something wrecks the plants(deer, a bad storm, a later spring frost, etc.), your bog filter has to rebound from zero, and the algae, being a simpler organism, will flourish in the meantime. UV and chemical treatments will kill the target organism on contact, no questions asked. Bog filters typically require more maintenance and tending as well. I'm not saying bog filters are bad, but they are by no means better or worse. The equation is not that simple.

[@Theyorkshirepirlo]

This is the best Nicholas cage film I’ve ever seen

[@mpf_agundipsht3619]

it's illegal to build koi or own koi ponds here in NZ

[@noelsantos7580]

Wayyy too short video.

[@michaelcorazzini6869]

This guys whole story sounds fishy.

[@screwedupmystic2597]

Lol out loud

[@jamesmichael5475]

Very informative, I thank you for your time and expertise. I am considering creating a koi pond on my property, and have spoken with a number of local contractors with experience with koi ponds, but none have displayed the level of expertise and knowledge that you apparently possess. installingthatchanging the pondspend
