my koi pond fast n easy built part 1

[SuperMaxibaby]

this is not a viable filter system for a serious koi keeper ,in fact i would not risk keeping my koi using it at all,maybe ok for gold fish ,cleaning it would be a diss advantage and without using a uv the water would be covered in blanket weed in a week,at least three different types of media to catch debris and trap healthy bacteria in order for the fish to survive would be essential ,cutting corners means you will end up where you started ,at the beginning!

I'd rather look at your Koi pond then build my own!

[MrTricksRus]

How is the pond running with the filter system? I am thinking of building one modelled on yours but with an internal pump. Do you find the stones are handling the filtering ok?

[Mr1SUPERB]

@MrTricksRus yes the stones filter was good catch more poop and tiny debris the only downside is cleaning backwashing but everything is ok...some people used lava rocks

NIce video would have liked commentary more then music.  Just so you know the average recommended depth for a koi pond is 4 feet or deeper..

[Mr1SUPERB]

@ocbc1975 not really to me im very happy what i have may be next year i dig more another 3feet so total 6 feet deep or add 2 two more center block up less work for me..GOTPOND?

[callteg4]

What is the set up you have in the center of the pond? is it some sort of bottom drain

[Mr1SUPERB]

@callteg4 ----yes it was!coz the fish hide under the pipe.have you seen the update bottom drain

[jjjustin17]

was wondering how your bottom drain goes over the edge and still pull water in?

[jjjustin17]

[owenaddams]

[mexicanking3456]

where did u buy the water filter on 3:48 isint the same ones from swimming pools????

[Mr1SUPERB]

@mexicanking3456 yap,but the swimming pool pump runs only few hours ....you need a pump runs 24/7.....i bought this last year around $130 bucks comes with pump and restraining basket ( evolution es3500) on electric bills i payed $11 a month extra 

[kevinluryaj]

how much was the total for the materials?

[imthecoolestone1]

do the rocks help filter the water? whats there purpose?

[Mr1SUPERB]

@imthecoolestone1 the rocks are good filter cleans the water deeper like Cristal clear

[mexicanking3456]

@imthecoolestone1 it cleans the water to make it come out clean and turns the water crystal clear so it wont turn green say thx rocks

[Duhitpt]

[detroitfan11]

Looks like your efforts paid off. You are gonna want to get some good shade for any koi in the desert. Star has hardy lillies in that you could plant in containers...they do great out here. Also check out NV Water Gardens for some large Koi. He had some nice ones in stock last month when I was there.
