HERE IT IS! The second part of the project. Getting there, the pond is dirty but will be all clear once i get the filter going, I have a DIY Waterfall filter, and will have a DIY Spider system type of filter on the bottom.

Waterfall Looks great, pond... not to well, Yet. Check back to see part 3

omg its really lovely job well done thats a H U G E Pond (?) what did u say ur filtering ir through? lol lol lol my little pond is like really small u have done a great job

[Arteolike]

@sooouuuuper I was filtering through Lava Rocks, They were really hard to clean and did not do the job. So I am currently running 6 cubic feet of Bio-Blox Rainbow Sponge Media. Has over 500 square feet of surface area per cubic foot & was only $14.99/ Shipped a cubic foot. I had 0 Algae/ Water Quality problems this year and I fed my fish over 5 times a day! Great media, Highly recommend it.

you have mad skills. I wish i could do this when i was your age.

how long did this entire pond take you to make/build?

[Arteolike]

@badgerdemented If I really worked 6- 8 hours/day every day I probably would have finished it fully in a month given all the equipment and money all in one shot, but I had to get bits and pieces and slowly build it. Its still not fully done to this day as you will see in my future video "1,800 Gallon Koi Pond Upgrades & Updates" that will be uploaded soon.

Wow, and I'm afraid to start my pond. My koi are in a cattle trough!

@Arteolike what you pressure wash with the water in the pond or you drain it ? Meh either way I'm way to lazy to do more than clean the filters monthly. I loath bottom drains and liner bottomed ponds. That's gonna be my next pond.

Wow that's cheap as hell for that rock, cant find a deal like that here, great price on that liner too.

[Arteolike]

@pac6010 Liner $165, Ebay.

Rocks $350 Local Rock Yard.

Pressure washer 3 hours, once a year, gravel clean.
