[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Gents, have a nice weekend

[@GenieAquarist]

I like the side view window! Looking good mate

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Genie, I built the whole pond around that window.

[@korzer]

Looks amazing well done

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Korzer

[@zanyzara8788]

Wow. Very well done:) I wish my fish had a huge pond :)

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you friend

[@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish]

Next level job mate 👍

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Rafael, it is my first and may be last fish pond with glass. Cost too much lol

[@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish]

@@Fishaholic I’m going to make one next year for my baby koi and goldfish I have in my fish tank And I can see cost 💲 you use good material Getting ideas 💡 from you’re videos thank for that 👍👍

[@Fishaholic]

Koi will look amazing in the pond, how big is the baby koi? And how big are your goldfish. I had 18 to 25cm goldfish which I traded for large angelfish

[@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish]

@@Fishaholic My kois I have some 8 to 10 and my bigger is 18 cm And my goldfish the biggest is 14cm I think no 100% sure I have them in a 260l fish tank And next year if everything is ok I’m going to do my pong How many litres is the fish pond you made ?

[@Fishaholic]

Your fish will grow big fast once they are moved to a pond. My pond is around 2500 liter, couldn't go bigger due to space constraints.

[@acuariombr]

Very beautiful thank you for sharing my friend ❤👍20

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Martyn

[@neilclark2678]

Seen a lot of videos on this ,like your take the best.looking forward to follow up on how it's doing thanks neil

[@Fishaholic]

Hi Neil, appreciate your feedback. Pond is doing well, I have built an overhead filter and have few Oranda goldfish in the pond. It's winter over here so waiting on spring to come so I could add some plants and more fish.

[@TommysTanks]

looking great.

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Tommy

[@DaljeetSingh-kq3gc]

Great work. I am thinking of making a structure out of interlock bricks, I will install the liner inside the bricks and fill it with water and put in a 1000gpm pump for a fountain and maybe add some fish.

[@Fishaholic]

Sounds like a big pond project Daljeet, I have only built pond using wood and liner so don't know how complex it could be with bricks. Wish you all the best 👍

[@Technologyadvisor1]

nice video i am wondering if you used the primer why do you need to seam the folds. I would have thought the primer is sealing the folds for you.

[@Fishaholic]

Hi mate, It does but I just went over the board with everything on this pond to make it last for years. Thank you

[@Kugadream55]

very nice

[@Fishaholic]

Thank you Amanda

[@rajasoorya]

This video was great! Do you have a video on how you installed the laminated glass?

[@Fishaholic]

The next episode is on installing the glass. I believe there are 7 episodes in total

[@ivanbriggs5458]

looking good, really like the idea of the window. I'm too lazy for all that work though, so just bought a 1000l poly water trough for a fish pond. what fish are planning to stock it with ?

[@Fishaholic]

Thanks Ivan, it will be a while till I add any fish as I haven't built a filter for pond. Waiting on COVID restrictions to ease so I could get an electrician to do wirings. What fish do you have in your pond? I am thinking more of adding some fancy goldfish.

[@ivanbriggs5458]

@@Fishaholic i went with a couple of oscars and some clown loaches

[@Fishaholic]

Is it an indoor pond? Your fish will be extremely happy in such a massive body of water.

[@kamperempobezdrozach-bozen9271]

Wow, fantastic.

[@Fishaholic]

Thanks heaps mate

[@smile1234happy]

Nice job brother enjoy the build! How many litres is the pond? How much does it cost to built something like that?

[@Fishaholic]

Hi Joey, its 2500 liter pond, kept it small so I could have space for outdoor furniture. Cost is roughly 3,500 as it is and will have to spend atleast another grand for electrical work, pump, lights and filter.

[@shiyamaifrad8933]

@@Fishaholic in our country we can get a whole 10k litre pond built with cement for 1000$😒

[@Fishaholic]

Thats very cheap compared to here.

[@shiyamaifrad8933]

@@Fishaholic yeah things are over priced in the US but i love US

[@ashleighwilliamson7994]

Need to add the glass vid I'm having real issues for 2 years now trying to seal my glass

[@Fishaholic]

Saw your comment on the other video. I'm glad you found it. Just my way of how I have installed the glass.

[@shiyamaifrad8933]

What if we seal the wood with fiberglassing instead of using a liner?

[@Fishaholic]

Wood has the tendency to expand and shrink due to moisture and dry external factors. I have not use fiberglass so not sure if it will work.

[@yorkshirekoi2246]

how did you bend the folds and make them unsean ?

[@tkiefer72]

More detail possibly on the method to folding?

[@Fishaholic]

Folding was by far the hardest task in the overall built.

[@AfricanCichlids]

We have water

[@Fishaholic]

Yea finally, will give it couple of weeks to see how it goes.

[@AfricanCichlids]

I don't blame you, I imagine there nervous moments

[@Fishaholic]

@@AfricanCichlids I was very nervous when I was filling the pond with water. It is my first proper pond build and adding a glass was bit concerning. So far everything seems good, no leakage.

[@eirikolsn]

whats the measurements on the windom and on the pond?

[@Fishaholic]

Hi mate, dims of window glass are 141 x 62 cm (LxH). It's a 25mm toughen laminated glass.

[@kcdesignsetc]

You skipped the whole window installation…which is the entire reason I watched all these videos. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Fishaholic]

Hi Kelly, apologies for not adding steps for installing a window in this video. I do have a separate video on it.

[@24bellers20]

Box welded liner. 😳

[@Fishaholic]

Would be good to get hands on it. It was a struggle to find someone around my area and cost was just too much.

[@24bellers20]

I would love a viewing window , but everything that I build either goes green or leaks.🫣

[@Fishaholic]

Mine went green and then brown but finally it all cleared up. I guess it takes time for the ecosystem to develop and then pond looks after itself

[@JoeL-b7w1s]

I have same problem can't get box welded liner in Australia have to do the same very hard.. I am struggling with mine at the moment trying to find myself the correct sealant to use between my Perspex viewing panel and the rubber liner.. if anyone noes what to use would appreciate your help!
