MY KOI POND NEARLY EXPLODED!

[@tomchristensen2914]

yeah that is also the side that was a little lower so water weight put more pressure on that side as well... water is heavy lol

[@riddlerreptiles]

@@tomchristensen2914 I’ll be honest, I’m just glad it wasn’t the side that’s on the neighbours fence, that would’ve been an awkward one to try and fix 😂

[@tomchristensen2914]

Yeah that would have been bad... glad you caught it in time. That is a lot of water ..my pool posts are sinking on the lower side and it will collapse eventually. I have 5 acres so not worried about where water goes. But next pool will be level for sure lol... I will use 2x6 posts when I extend my koi pond

[@riddlerreptiles]

@@tomchristensen2914 yeah for sure! Ah yeah that’s not so bad to be fair! 2x6 is a great shout. Tomorrows video with the pond built with sleepers, we used 4x8’s which is surely not going anywhere 😂

[@nataliaprado5]

Thanks for the update. Never having built a pond, I think that overbuilding in terms of strength or capacity, is a good way to go. You never know what is going to happen. Can it handle a hurricane? Yes? then it can handle my fish, lol. Looking forward to the future episodes.

[@riddlerreptiles]

Thanks Natalia! Yeah for sure, which was the initial plan but in my own worst enemy and got too impatient.. should’ve got a refund and ordered the right size, but my brain wouldn’t let me 😂

Without mistakes you can learn perfection!

[@riddlerreptiles]

Facts my bro! Next build always ends up being bigger and better!

[@lifearoundthekoipond2283]

I built my pond out of wood, it's 20x7x3, it could have been over a hundred feet long If I had the room, and it has a roof and filter house, great video mate, just subscribed and rung the bell 🔔👍

[@riddlerreptiles]

That’s epic! I’m hoping to build bigger and better in the future, this was just a start 😂 ahh legend, thank you so much!

[@lifearoundthekoipond2283]

If it's any help, I've videoed the pond build, it might give you a few ideas.

[@riddlerreptiles]

@@lifearoundthekoipond2283 I’ll check it out for sure, thank you!

[@VIVVISIONS]

Great job fixing it up fish are looking good, loving that sturgeon

[@riddlerreptiles]

Thanks dude! And yeah such a beautiful fish!

[@CopperheadCustoms]

Nice job mate thn ks for sharing, ponds are something that I find fascinating and have been converting the techniques into my reptile Vivariums

[@riddlerreptiles]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Yeah I made some mistakes on this build but luckily nothing major happened and we caught in time, but now I know better for the next build and can warn people to avoid what I did wrong 😁 Love your vivariums by the way, truly inspirational stuff, keep it up!

[@OctoBud]

Can you add turtles to the pond when you redo it?

[@riddlerreptiles]

That’s an incredible idea! I don’t know if I can, but I will 100000% look into that now you’ve mentioned it!

[@willexotic]

Great video man

[@riddlerreptiles]

Thank you my bro 👊

[@ravishingreptiles]

Awesome vid! Can we get some sick millipede content now?

[@riddlerreptiles]

Thanks bro, and don’t you worry, that’s coming soon 😍

It’s all good brother, you have nothing to apologise for 💜
