you know that aquascape pond foam at $90usd a can...you can buy the waterproof Gorilla foam for [same size can with the spray spout] for $14usd a can...yes it's tan instead of black...but stones stick to it like the black stuff and hides away just as well....for a 5th of the cost.

@@SRM_NZ hi thanks for watching! I’m from the UK. But yes there are many brands that are a fraction of the price as ‘pond foam’ and are exactly the same!

@@yorkshirekoi2246 thanks, With the pebbles at the bottom I’ve utilised a suction grid system, which will prevent the vast majority of the build up of muck and act as a part of the filter system. I will be doing a video on this soon. Thanks for watching, I’ll be sure to check out your channel!

Your pond looks amazing. I much perfer your natural style pond to koi tanks. I have one question if you don't mind explaining and showing on video if possible. You don't have a bottom drain, but rather a grill that is connected via gravity's feed. Have i got this correct? What exactly is this? I dont think I've ever seen this method on youtube. Thanks

Looks amazing! Just curious, where does the water go if it rains enough to overfill? Is it dangerous to fish having electricity over the water if a cable fell in? Cheers
@KoiBoyUKАй бұрын
Thanks Andrew. The lowest point of the liner is near the back of the path, I will be making an overflow hole in the skimmer eventually so it goes out there instead. The garden is naturally slightly higher compared to the surroundings so there is low/no risk of the garden flooding. The electric fence I have is made especially for ponds. I have seen the wire in the pond a few times after storms and all the fish were acting normally. I have a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6CwdpqEitimr9Usi=Gmmnau5hRQttrOta

Looks very attractive, my 4500 gallon Koi pond is also a “natural” in ground pond but I think you have made a big mistake lining it with rocks, you really don’t want anything rough that the Koi can rub and injure themselves on in the pond! When they get Parasite infections…which they will, they will rub themselves against anything they can which can cause secondary infections!
@KoiBoyUK2 ай бұрын
@@ces69hi thanks for watching! Yes it is always going to be a risk with rocks in the pond but having 2 for a decade with rocks, I haven’t had injuries caused by flicking once. Perhaps I’ve just been really lucky but I also believe as long as there are no sharp angles on the rocks, the likelihood is quite low. For me the low chance is worth it when you take into account the extra enrichment you give the koi by providing nooks and crannies for them to be able to forage etc.
@ces692 ай бұрын
@@KoiBoyUK Well good luck, fingers crossed, but you also probably realise it is reducing your overall gallonage for the overall pond size and make it a bit tricky to calculate in the conventional way if you didn’t use a flow meter when filling. If you didn’t there is a pretty accurate way to calculate using salt and a decent salt meter, which will be necessary for treatments!

I hate the rectangle brickwork builds that are 3/4ft out of the ground. They are so false. You built my ideal pond. Some Acer trees and a few bonsai trees will set this off. Perhaps some bamboo in pots to stop it spreading. Overall perfect well done. Very very jealous.
