Garden Koi Pond Renovation Timelapse

The old PVC liner had needed replacing for some time and we had patched up holes round the edge for years, but a new leak at the bottom meant we had to renovate the pond. We opted for a Firestone EPDM liner, a skimmer with dedicated pump and a new 'beach' area at the shallow end made from cobbles to give fry and newts a better chance of surviving. The edge of the pond was leveled as the ground had shifted over the years. The waterfall was sealed with cement and adjacent rocks rearranged. The plants flourished in no time and have overgrown somewhat. We placed spawning brushes near the shallow end and within a month we noticed fry swimming in the cobbles. Since we have added new fish, we decided to put up an electric fence to help protect against the Heron and other wildlife.

I know it's an older video but i'd recommend removing the plastic Heron as they don't actually help protect fish, they're more likely to increase the chance as they lure birds rather than scare them away. (We used to have one ourselves but that didn't stop a Heron from taking one of our Kohaku Kois, luckily the dog made sure he wouldn't return.

Good video which I watched with great interest. I was expecting to see a bottom drain installed but I guess that didn't figure in your plans. The bottom drain really makes the maintenance a lot easier. Anyway you've created a beautiful pond with the ability to harvest fry. My pond is extremely low maintenance with a half dozen bluegills to take care of any fry.
Dean Gray
Dean Gray - 6 years ago
I appreciate your situation, adding a bottom drain now would be extremely difficult. I have a similar dilemma. Although I installed a bottom drain in my pond, I really should have gone larger. I used 2" drain fixture and pipe but should have used 4". An option open to you, if you wanted to do an upgrade, might be to install a bottom drain fixture which sits on top of your liner (at lowest part of your pond) and is piped out to a pump. Again, I enjoyed your video and appreciate you took the time to put it on Youtube.
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
Thank you. I had never heard of a pond drain until someone else here asked about it. The guy who did the work for us did not suggest adding a drain, probably because we were working to a strict budget, all of the pond has a concrete lining except the deepest part, and adding a drain and pipework would have been difficult and expensive because we would have to have excavated a 'tunnel' to 5 feet under ground, under the concrete liner.

Why didn't you add a bottom drain while you had it open. Bottom drains are great for controlling sludge and water circulation
bob yates
bob yates - 6 years ago
I hold their flake food between my fingers and let them nibble. Their pellets I hold in the palm of my hand they climb up to get it. Orange and grapefruit slices they nibble from my hand if you are patient they will learn to eat everything from your hand all it takes is one brave fish and the others will follow. I have one spot feed from and make sure I never done anything else from that spot. No cleaning no nets nothing but food from that spot so they feel safe there Hand feeding does not seem to work with savoy cabbage, cucumber slices or lettuce so I just drop them in. One hint that made them friendly was a 18 inch floating feeding ring I made from 1/2 inch plastic tubing. that prevents the food from floating away and keeps the food close to you
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
Thanks, yes we are. Hand fed them prawns the other day. Only one fish brave enough to take one from my fingers, but if I keep it up, I think more will do it.
bob yates
bob yates - 6 years ago
once you start enjoying the sound of the water and see how relaxing the fish can be you get hooked on koi ponds. I sit with a book for at least an hour every day by my pond. My koi eat out of my hand and are waiting for me every morning and evening at feeding time. Enjoy your pond
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
I would certainly strongly consider it if it were a new pond. But this was a renovation of the pond in the garden of the house we bought in 2011. The pond was lovingly built by the former owner of our property. When we bought it the house, we didn't particularly want the pond. The PVC liner was already on its way out with leaks and brittle areas. But I've grown to really enjoy the pond and the renovation was relatively inexpensive. Adding a drain was not an option at this point.
bob yates
bob yates - 6 years ago
did not realize it was an old pond you were working on. My first pond did not have a bottom drain but after talking to friends I made sure every new pond I have built had one installed. my first concrete koi pond was in 1980. I have had four more since then and they all had bottom drains.. It helps keep dirt and algae build up on the bottom of the pond from forming plus it makes it much easier to drain if the pond needs repairing. I know many people who don't use them so I guess it is just one of my preferences. My pump is above ground and has no problem sucking water through the bottom drain 5 feet below grade and up to the water fall that is 4 feet above grade. I hope you don't take this wrong I like talking to other Koi owners to see their ideas and share mine. Thank you for posting this video
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
Because we didn't think of it. I didn't, anyway. Never heard of a drain until you mentioned it. Even if it had been suggested, I wouldn't have done it though, because we would have had to run the pipework underground under the concrete shell and that would have been a huge amount of work.
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
Thanks, I understand. So the amount of effort involved in installing a pump under the concrete pond would be too much. The actual pond structure itself is concrete. I didn't even know this until the liner came up. I've never done any sludge removal. Is that a thing?
bob yates
bob yates - 6 years ago
same as the bottom drain on a swimming pool. pump sucks the water from the bottom up to the filter. It is installed under the liner with drain cover at the deepest point in the pond. This makes sludge removal a constant operation. This way you can use the longer lasting easier to clean pond side pumps instead of the submersible pumps that clog so much and only last a few years
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
I don't know what a 'bottom drain' is. We have the main pond pump located in the deepest part, which pumps water into the filter system. Is that the same? Edit: Researched it. Bottom drain needs to be at the same level as the filter system. Our filter system is at the top of the waterfall. The level of the water in the filter system is more than a metre above the level of the water in the pond.

Absolutely lovely pond! May I ask the reason for the 2nd drain? It looked like an awful lot of work to fill, stock, drain, refill and re-stock?
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 6 years ago
Well spotted. Yes, that was because of a problem we had. The hose was placed next to the pond to fill it over night. Unfortunately it moved so it pointed at the ground, splashing soil into the pond and so much water under the liner that it rose up to the surface.
So we had to drain the pond so the liner could settle back down and so the soil could be cleaned out.

It really doesn't blend in very well with the garden or look natural. Also I guess the fence is to keep the fish from being eaten, which is normally what you would use a fish cave for, where the fish would hide.

Interesting. The pond (and fish) came with the house when we bought it in 2011. We didn't want it, actually, but have grown to appreciate it. The edging stones are the ones which came with the pond. When we renovated it, we just jetwashed them (which made a huge difference) and had them relaid.

Although garlic does contain some essential oils that are larvicidal to mosquitos, there hasn't been evidence that eating garlic has the same effect. However, if the oils of the garlic made it into the water from the sock I can see how it could do some damage to larvae population.

+1starshot well then you're also an idiot, NO scientific studies have shown that garlic has ANY repellent properties against mosquitos. So to say its "well known" is just more crap, and anyone who believes it is also an idiot, come back to me when there is PROOF, otherwise its bullshit.

Yes, it's not crap or homeopathic. It's well known that Mediterranean dwellers suffer far far less from mosquito bites (some never get bitten) that visitors do, because they eat much more garlic in their natural diet which is a deterrent to mossy's. It comes out in their sweat glands. Never heard of putting it in a fish pond though.

I used to think that until I found out 25 years ago we have 33+ native species of mosquito n the UK.
In the last few years we have also been invaded by deadly alien species including:
Aedes Aegypti - found in Sussex & Kent, carries the Zika virus.
Culex Modestus - found in the Thames Estuary Marshes, carries the West Nile virus.
The Asian tiger mosquito, which can transmit up to 23 infections - including West Nile virus and dengue fever - is believed to have stowed away in used tyres being shipped from the Far East to this country for retreading.

Very nice pond, have kept fish (tanks & ponds) on and off since a child and would not be put off by mosquitoes.

We don't get mosquitoes so much in the UK. But it does have algae, blanket weed and duckweed growing in it. Which is not too bad because it is sanctuary and food for the fry and fingerlings.

my back was aching just watching that, I recall how it felt doing my tiny pond....good job it was in time lapse! Great job guys,looks awesome. as for people commenting on the electric fence...it's either that or a net over the top, if you don't protect your pond,the heron will kill all your fish...even the biggest ones!

What we do is get a pool floatie like for kids. We have one that is a little giraffe about two foot tall. We have a fountain, so the floatie moves all around. The heron thinks that its another live animal, and we havent had a problem since. Find something that can float and drift around, its amazing!!!

we had a heron appear and eat 13 baby turtles in one afternoon. Ugly though it may be, I wish we'd had something to deter them before we lost all our little hatchlings.

Great looking pond ! But why not make it deeper and wider if you are pretty going to do all that I would had played it safe and made it about couple hundred gallons more bigger and would be better for the rest of the smaller koi as well as the big ones but great looking pond

Didn't they add one drum by deepening the stone region though? Also, they might not necessarily want to encroach more on their garden with it.

+Ronney Perez , Hmm "A couple hundred gallons bigger " That would be less than 4 drums @ 55 gl . So the reality of making it bigger would have to be in the thousands of gallons . Everything is work , they did a really nice job , why even ask it`s their pond !

Doesn't look like an electrical fence though? Simply a fence to keep predators from sitting at the water edge and attack the koi.

that one edge of the pond near the steps is higher than the pond and runoff and getting chemicals into the pond could be a major problem .Any thing you put on the lawn will run right in .Even power washing deck or house could pose a major problem .

Nice Job but servicing the skimmer will be a challenge. I put one mothers pond and it is a pain to service reaching over the pond, Here is just a suggestion raise the rock level in the beach to 2 inches above the water level and put the return line off the skimmer pump under the rock at the shallow end. This will stop the algae from growing and turn the beach in to a active bog the little fish will still go in for protection, and the large stone will make it easy to thin the bog, and it will help with filtering and water clarity and algae control. when its time to thin the bog thin by 1 third.

StuartDWright

Update: now the pipes have been lengthened, the pump is much easier to get out. Only problem now is that the holes in the Oase Aquaskim 40 basket are too large, causing debris to block up the Hozelock pump. I have to keep unblocking the impeller every few days.
StuartDWright
StuartDWright - 7 years ago
Thanks. The skimmer sends water to a T junction under the beach for two outlet there to increase water flow. Getting the skimmer basket out is easy with a hook on a pole. Getting the pump out is more of a challenge with the short pipes, do we're having the pipes lengthened to help.
