How to Build a Koi Pond - Part 1 ( by Pondguru )

Part 1 of a koi pond I constructed at Durham in North East England in 2011. The video explains the various stages and tasks involved in making the design function properly while ensuring that the system is easily maintainable. The total gallonage is 3000 (UK) which equates to approx. 14000 litres.
Filter is a Nexus 210, UV is an Evo 55 watt and the pump is an Aquamax Eco 8000.
Part 2 explains how the filter system works, how the path and decking were constructed and has finished video of the pond, deck and garden once it was cleared up.

would'nt that lead spillway be toxic to fish?

[pondguru]

You'd think so, but no.

@pondguru will you marry me?? i need a big koi pond for my garden... u doing amazing job.. Love it!!!.. :-)

[pondguru]

I would do the pond but not sure what my wife would say about me marrying someone else seeing as I'm not a religious nutjob. Unless your profile picture is of someone else, you are a dude and I haven't given much thought to ever being married to a guy although all the gay male couples I know all seem to have good careers and do much better than the gay women couples I've ever met.

Thanks for watching.

Koi? put in some Tilapia and get a return on your money.

[pondguru]

Tilapia would survive about 2 weeks in the summer in the UK.

[pondguru]

Yes, yes I have.

I appreciated you taking time out of your busy schedule to make that valuable comment.

Thanks for watching.
