Briar Fox - 7 years ago

I started to watch, but realized this was more about other ramblings than it was about how to build the pond. Useless.

I did the top of my pond with concrete block and dug down 3 ft and filled the block with the clay dirt .I have had my koi for 11 years and built my own filters with lava rock and no skimmer no uv and no bottom drain and have not lost a fish .So ponds are only as hard as you make them .My pond I had to rebuild because something chewed through my other liner .I just did it in March and it is no May and it is getting established now .I am from VA also

wow well the 125 came a long ways to this day, right now i'm wokring on getting it back on track, ordering some new plants, etc, restocking some fish. but i'm going to get it where it needs to be.

abraham avelar - 11 years ago

Oh yeah it's been awhile since I've seen ur videos I remember I seen since u git ur 125 maybe just b4 that

Wayne's Fish World - 11 years ago

that was a while back i'm going to do more ponds videos as fall is coming

abraham avelar - 11 years ago

Yeah well I've heard about u can use a fountain so it don't freeze all the way if u do 2-3 ft I remember seeing a video of ur pond when u were feeding the fish one of the last Times before winter right when u uploaded

Wayne's Fish World - 11 years ago

if you have a GOOD biofilter you won't need substrate though i put it in my pond since i think it would be healthier but it does make a mes, yeah you can keep them outside i have a video where i show my pond in the winter with snow on the ground, and for utah i'd imagine you'd have to make a 3-4 foot deep pond

abraham avelar - 11 years ago

Thx, my question is after u have the pond either a liner one or a plastic one do u need substrate too like u would in a fish tank, also can u keep regular goldfish n the black moors out in the pond all year long, it snows in here I'm in Utah

Wayne's Fish World - 11 years ago

oh its no problem at all you guys make my channel

abraham avelar - 11 years ago

abraham avelar - 11 years ago

I'm,on a,phone n idk how to private in here but I just have a few questions like how do you clean the pond water changes etc, what kind of fish can u keep all year round I wanted to keep some Oki some comet gold fish some lion head and some black moor but at this time I'm still in the planning process,don't wanna rush into anything

Duane Nixon - 12 years ago

I feel so much better now that I know big foot or a bob cat isnt going to hurt you.. OMG this video is cracking me up. I learned nothing about building a pond but i found out about the hawk and the kids in the woods, found out you live in the middle of nowhere, you have chickens,geese,ducks and an elusive bob cat stalking you down. Your scared of snakes, you have a hoe, and you started college. Thanks for all the useless info. lol...Not going to be ugly because you did make me laugh..

Duane Nixon - 12 years ago

little note for you.. 20 years pest control experience and I can assure you, moth balls dont stop snakes

Mr13Channel - 12 years ago

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

KaoTic Virrus - 12 years ago

Is it ok for it to rain on ur pond???

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

i know i crack myself up too

Yamaha Jonesie - 12 years ago

Lololol... I cracked up when u said I wont tell u where I live cuz of freaks in the world. But you already said Virginia, east coast, small town with Lowe's, has a college 1st year so your 18 / 19 from the date u posted this and im pretty sure you used your whole damn name. Samuel Wayne Foley Jr. Lolol... thats ok I used my name in my screen name too.

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

hahahaha no

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

well yeah the high doller koi but not the cheap ones

SuperMaxibaby - 12 years ago

i keep the highest grade japanese koi and can tell you the water quality has to be as good as an aquarium, i build ponds for a living so i can assure you i know what i am talking about ,high nitrate and ammonia present in pond water will damage and kill koi,

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

no....they don't need near perfect water conditions they're carp, they can live in rivers ponds lakes etc on koi farms they are raised in mud ponds....mud ponds. the location has nothign to do with it yes its open but i have a net over my pond and a bird that gets moved around. also do you see how the dirt comes up, it doesn't flood to the point where it gets higher then that, but if this pond wasn't partially raised they could swim out, and yes the pond updates are on here is it finished no

SuperMaxibaby - 12 years ago

is the finished pond on here,? be surprised by the outcome of it, the site picked for the pond is a no no , too open and if like you say you get streams running down in the rainy season it will contaminate the water , koi need as near perfect water conditions you can get ,

Ryan Pseudonymous - 12 years ago

psst you hear that?

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

Hahaha I'm going to be on that discovery channel show...whats it called hunting bigfoot or something haha

fishkid234 - 12 years ago

it was big foot.

cubaniton74 - 12 years ago

Use PVC pipes for the plastic net frame, it will prevent fish from escaping during floods and also prevent wild animals such as birds from eating your fish if you also apply net to the top.

cubaniton74 - 12 years ago

If you want to save on materials, you can also do a pvc and plastic net enclosure all around the pond, so even if the waters rise, your fish will still be enclosed in plastic net walls.

you should make it so it wont flood and have fish escape and die on land when it is done flooded

Wayne's Fish World - 13 years ago
