3600 Gallon Pond with costings!! **PART 1**

#Koipond #pondbuild #pondcost #qualitynishikigoi
This is a great pond build so far. 2 guys who have never done this before have done this all themselves! They have saved a lot of money doing so.
Obviously they have had time to do in the current climate but they have done such a nice job!
The internal dimensions are 12.5 feet by 8.5 feet by 5.5 feet deep.
All that is remaining is the fibreglassing and the cladding finish. That won't be long now and we can do the second part!
The pond is running in a Nexus 320 via a 4" Bottom drain with 1" air pipe. The Nexus returns via 2 returns.
The custom skimmer is running directly to a blade but will have another return.
1 x Varipump 10,000L and 1 x Varipump 20,000L.

[@davidrevitt7470]

Great pond build, hair is looking better tim :)

[@garyneo2259]

another great video tim very simular build to my pond on the inside the fish i got of u are very well to cheers m8

[@andymurton7404]

Very impressed with the build well done , it looks a professional job and well planned. I built mine last july almost identical to this one at just under 3000 gal with a nexus 220 and a bakki shower on skimmer return with window at front. I noticed they have used 90 degree bends on the return pipes around the outside of the block like I did, I was told later that I should have used swept 90 degree bends to prevent flow loss. I cant say I have noticed any difference to be honest and the water clarity with the nexus is crystal.

[@BC-uu6iz]

great job and very neat work! enjoy it, maybe you can post updates in the future tks

[@chrismcerlain1664]

Mega, please go back, and lets see it up and running

[@nickwanstall6237]

Great build and credit to the owner, can’t wait to see it finished. If you ever want to do a feature on a small koi pond then feel free if your in the Dartford area as I’ve just finished it ?

[@davep4589]

Oh balls this has got me thinking, do I update my pump fed puddle or do I update my car. Thanks for this

[@CPTLYNXY]

6.5k that's good the filter system is expensive alone

Nice build! those sunglasses are super can we get the brand name and model thanks!

[@ANDY-we7mr]

spot on tim but iam not a nexus fan but nice pond time nice pipe work too

[@thecarpncatfishchannel7495]

Lovely job but really missed on a satisfying look of the pond from the shed or cabin at the back. My plan would have been - move the pond to join on to the cabin and make it part of the cabin have a window inside to see the fish from inside move the tank to the right and waterfall and access from the right side. Then you could in joy the pond from everywhere without looking at the filter box etc. But nice job 👍

[@TimWaddington]

He wouldn’t of minded solid gold tiles either.

[@johnsherlock8779]

Stunning build and pond. Look forward to seeing the future videos. Out of interest do you know where the tiles came from?

[@TimWaddington]

I’ll try and find out mate

[@wills1206]

How comes no bead on this? Just built a 2000g pond with nexus 320 off bottom drain and 20” bead off skimmer... do you think that is overkill? Looking at stocking about 9-11 koi

[@josefeena]

That's looks lovely. Bet its very nice when it's finished. I need one building . What is the estimated cost for all finished ?

[@Stebo1212]

Just started looking to building my own pond and i have to ask why the "So called Triangle corners" i know nothing of brick laying if its due to that haha thanks in advance and love the videos

[@martinknight9027]

I thought the same think it must be something to do with the fiberglass or maybe better for the fish not sure

[@danielmerrell8926]

Hi i know this isn't really related to this video but i was curious if you use ozone on any of your ponds and could you maybe do a video on your thoughts on it

[@RCrudi]

Where can I find details of your skimmers?

[@stephenhead2977]

Very nice have you a link for them tiles please

[@Kenandlizabeehaven]

How much would you charge to do a job like this

[@ESPowerGolf]

Great pond, how thick is the glass

[@axall2285]

£6500 Jesus thats a lot I built a 16 by 10ft pond myself on my own Costing me around £2100 all in

[@bobbyknox9258]

Well impressed. That is a top notch floor. Are they fibre glassing over kingspan on the walls?

[@TimWaddington]

Yes they are using 1” kingspan

Got a fish with a sore on its head,been trying some treatments but it's getting bigger,can you help.

[@sedgie08]

Hi, I'm building a pond at the moment, exactly the same as this layout wise, but only 1100 gallons. I was going with the 10000l vari pump but told to avoid because of reliability issues and to go with the supafish 10,000. Whats your thoughts on this. I will have an easy pod with a 3" bottom drain. The skimmer looks good, is this something you sell as I cant see it on your web site. Cheers. If mine looks half as good as this I'd be happy.

[@TimWaddington]

Never had an issue really with the Varipumps, yes I’ve had a couple come back but the % we sell it’s nothing.

[@sedgie08]

@@TimWaddington I'll order a 10,000 then. Cheers

[@TimWaddington]

Thanks mate

[@deanhargreaves5958]

When will we see part 2 could do with a update thanks

[@TimWaddington]

Should be done actually I’ll check but we are in tier 4 so might have to wait.

[@GW._.]

Did you give them plans to follow?

[@TimWaddington]

No, we just advised on return Pipework etc and the install.

[@josh.kaptur]

can we order your skimmer in the United States?

Not at this time but soon 👍

Of course!

@@TimWaddington Best to get it out of the way. Excellent job. I like the future - proofing. Clearly, the cost of the valves will save on the heartache in the future. I have just spent £750 on a new shed to house filters and ancillary for my new build 2021. My plans are now up in the air due to a video on reverse osmosis. do you have an opinion on it's value to keeping healthy Koi?

What make skimmer is that? Thanks

@@TimWaddington Tim, are these skimmers custom made to speck, or do they just come in one size? Going to build my pond against my existing garage wall so would need to go through pond block and garage wall as filter setup is going inside.
