THIS IS WHAT A KOI POND SHOULD LOOK LIKE-- MOST OTHER PONDS ALTHOUGH NICE ARE JUST BIG HOLDING PONDS (JUST LIKE MOST SUPPLIERS KEEP THERE FISH FOR SALE IN.) YOUR WHOLE SETUP IS JUST GREAT, FILTERS WHOLE SYSTEM JUST BEAUTIFUL MANY THANKS FOR SHARING 👍

[@TattooedBeast]

@@jcardona1 what does a pond like this cost. Looking to build one in my back yard

[@jcardona1]

@@TattooedBeast I'd estimate I spent about $10k with the RDF being the most expensive component.

You have artistacaly put it all together in such a very neat and tidy way. It is not often that Somebody would say a Pond looks polished, but this One is Polished. Awesome Job Sir and congratulations. 😊👍

[@jcardona1]

Thank you!

[@raby760]

I've watched a lot of koi pond videos in the last few days. I intend to build one when I buy a house soon. But this is one of the better videos on KZbin. Some people spend a whole video showing how they build it, and then barely show their pond at the ending. Seeing your finished product, combined with videos on how to build them, gives me a good idea of what I'd like to do. This pond is practical for houses in my area and it's still huge. I'm going to make it 7ft deep in most parts, going as shallow as 2ft deep in the feeding area. Hopefully I'll have enough real-estate for 10,000 gallons.

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Amazing filtration. Your awesome.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Very nice. Great collection of koi. . Good use of space.

[@rontalley]

This project is simply AWESOME!!!! Wow, I've been researching for the last 2 weeks on how to do a "simple" Koi pond and what I've realized is that this hobby is just not simple! However, your video explained things very well. Sad thing is, I think I am going to have to up my budget by at least $6k...

[@MoneyAhoy]

Amazing setup dude!

[@jcardona1]

Thank you!

[@prafulpatel3644]

Thank you for beautiful video, I am planning to upgrade my garden pond to koi pond, and received estimate from professional koi pond builder which were out of my budget. I think I can build my own after viewing your video.

[@baotran6789]

Fanstatic work bro ! Love to see your pond koi system but, it's complicated and must spend a lot of money , time . Thanks for your video .

Great pond. Very close in specs to my pond. I still need a bakki shower and need to add some auto features like you have.

[@jcardona1]

Shower filters are great. I don't think I'll go back to any other form of bio filtration.

Great job. Work is never done. Always a work in progress. I have a 13x8x4.5 with a bog filter. You show proof that it can all work in a small space. I am interested in the seneye monitor.

[@jcardona1]

Thanks - it's a really cool device. Highly recommended.
