Why would you concrete it to put a liner in it? That makes no sense..seal the concrete and use that for the pond

Dave Clemens - 6 years ago

Why are you using a liner if you have used concrete on the entire thing? We used to have a liner, but we decided to fill it with concrete instead, I think that it is leaking somewhere, but I am not sure since it the water level stays at 2 feet and wont fill all the way to 3.....

kimuseni - 6 years ago

themagiclotus wow. Is it holding up ok? No leaks? Do you think I can use the same rubberized paint where I live. I live in Chicago Illinois and we have hard winter here with below zero degrees in the winter. So you have videos of your pond? I would like to see it.

themagiclotus - 6 years ago

kimuseni we actually filled it afterwards with nice tiles and used a rubberized paint called quick seal

kimuseni - 6 years ago

we are not sure what to seal the concrte yet to make it waterproof

Your daughter is very cute and helpful. I like your pond idea and decorations. You have lots of Koi some of them are big and cute colors. I was gonna ask you about what are you going to do with Koi when snow comes, then I saw another video that you show how you keep your Koi. Very nice and relaxing! Thanks for sharing :)

kimuseni - 6 years ago

koi are cold bloodd fish. they will stay on the pond. the pond does not freeze over because it is deep and does not freeze at the bottom of the pond

Wild Weasel - 7 years ago

there were lots of planning mistakes there, but its like you say, learning as we go along. Let me just name some so other can learn as well. The ground slab is a must becasue its takes the full weight of water and you dont want the ground to sink in. Use rebar or a welded wire mesh to make it consolidate better and not cracking under load, a bottom drain would be essential to keep the bottom clean and the flooor should be slanted to the drain. The sides would be much cheaper and better plummed with concrete blocks and since its a in ground pond you dont need rebar or to fill the blocks with concrete as the dirt around it will hold it in place. By using those 2 wood boxes you were unable to keep the walls straight due tot he weight of the concrete. I was surprised the ground slab didn't raise due to the side loads from the wallls being poured. Like you mentioned it is a learning curve and as long as it meets its purpose then its mission accomplished. The next one you make will be better and more efficient for sure. good job

Wild Weasel - 7 years ago

You might use Hyacinths and other pond plants as a good nitrate controller as opposite to UV light. Try it and if its not enough go with the UV. The koi like to nibble on the plants though so a lettuce and every so often will make them happy

Wild Weasel - 7 years ago

I didnt seee that. I apologise. The best liner you can get is fiberglass. I recommend you take a look at Matts work on GRPliningservices here on YT. That thing virtually lasts a lifetime if not more and its water proof. Paints usually crack and peel and its a waste of money and time. The trick with FG is to render the walls as smooth as possible, no sharp corners and without waterproofing additives so the resin can be absorbed by the concrete. the finish after the quill, finish layer and flowcoat will be plastic smooth. Look at the videos and take your own conclusions. It should be applied by somene with some experience with composite materials

The Crazy Italian - 7 years ago

Nice video! My grandparents had a fish pond about that size in their back yard. They had very large white and orange fish. Not sure if they were Koi or not. They had lilly pads that floated on top and our dog and myself when very young both tried to walk on them, and fell in pond. big crazy Like :-)
