Hey, been watching your videos over and over again figuring how you've done it. How do you fix your liner when you build the retaining brick walls around the outside of the pond? do you fold them into gap and brick over? and what is best place to buy the bits and pieces that you would recommend? Thank you!

Wrighty - 6 years ago

Hi, There is no gap between the bricks as this is filled in with cement to give the wall added strength. The liner is fitted under the top copings. The liner is cut back so it only covers half of the top of the wall and then the copings are laid on top. hope this helps. Terry.

Wrighty - 6 years ago

Hi Kim, Thank you. Terry.

Matthew Crisford - 6 years ago

How do you stop the herons eating your fish in your pond, do you cover it over in the night ?

Wrighty - 7 years ago

The Nexus are good systems, that's why I based my design on the nexus. Before you spend any money, check out how the nexus works and then check out how my filter systems work that you build yourself at a quarter of the cost. Check out diypondfilters.com Terry.

Harry Welch - 7 years ago

Thanks for your reply, your pond looks just Fab. What is your expert advice on the Nexus 320 pond filter ie is it worth the money?

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Harry, I have a net I put around the pond that only takes a minute to put up. You can see it in this video https://youtu.be/9aTVnv4zMK4

max baker - 7 years ago

Could I have some of your fry

Wrighty - 7 years ago

If they spawn again I will save you some. Terry.

JAY ILLUMINATI - 7 years ago

wow absolutely amazing work there pal loved every video building up to finish any advice were to get some koi for my pond ty

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Jay, Thank you, very much appreciated. Buying koi is a very personal thing. What I mean is, what is a lovely koi to someone might not have the same appeal to someone else. Your best bet is to do a bit of research here on YouTube about what to look for when buying koi. You don't have to travel miles to find good koi either. I got some great fish from my local koi shop that have really come on well. That's a lot of the fun with this hobby when your buying koi for your pond. There are so many places you can buy koi these days, it would be impossible to give one place. Have a good look round locally. You'll be surprised. Thanks, Terry.

Sam_Koi - 7 years ago

hey terry, what piping do you use for your air stone/pump? can i get it off ebay? appreciate it buddy, pond looks amazing!

Sam_Koi - 7 years ago

thank you sir.

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Mate. Wow! now that's a good question. I think it's 6mm inside diameter. I got it from my local koi shop. I only run 8 inch air stones so that's all I use. I do use 15mm plastic pipe to run underground to the pond. Terry.

J Wang - 7 years ago

Love your video, thank you for sharing!

Brexit Monger - 7 years ago

Thank you, very much appreciated. Terry.

Junella Hovatter - 7 years ago

the finished pond is absolutely one of the best set ups I've seen beautiful an very well thought out as well as efficient awesome work looking forword to updates happy ponding

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Junella, Thank you for your kind comments. really appreciated. Terry.

Tin Nguyen - 7 years ago

amazing!!!

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Thank you. Terry.

Prince Leigh - 7 years ago

GREAT JOB FOR DOING MOST OF IT YOURSELF BUT, WHY DID YOU LEAVE THE LINER EXPOSED ON THE BOTTOM AND SIDES OF THE POND WITH NO OVERHEAD SHADE PROTECTION FROM THE SUN??? YOU DO REALIZE THAT'S WHY YOUR POND WILL ALWAYS HAVE A GREENISH TINT TO IT. THE ALGAE IS CLINGING TO THE BOTTOM AND SIDES OF THE BLACK POND LINER. IF YOU WOULD HAVE USED PEEBLES ON THE BOTTOM AND BUILT UP ROCKS ALONG THE SIDES WITH SOMETHING OVER TO DAMPANT THE SUNLIGHT FROM HITTING THR POND YOU'D AVOID THE ALGAE AND YOUR POND WOULDN'T HAVE A GREENISH TINT, IT'LL LOOK CRYSTAL CLEAR.

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi, I wanted vertical sides to the pond as a precaution against herons. We don't use stone here in the UK to cover the liner as they do in the US. Terry.

Rob and Chris Sweet - 7 years ago

Absolutely beautiful. You have done an amazing job. Thank you for sharing all your tips along the way.

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Rob & Chris, Thank you, very much appreciated. and your very welcome. Terry.

Josh Walker - 7 years ago

hi Terry Where's best place to buy pond liners ? cheers josh

Josh Walker - 7 years ago

Wrighty ok cheers Terry much appreciated also where did you get your air pump from aswell

Wrighty - 7 years ago

No problem mate. Your flow will drop through what they call head pressure as mine has. Terry

Josh Walker - 7 years ago

Wrighty ok mate sorry for all the questions just trying to learn, am I best getting a bigger pump to the amount of litres I've got ?

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Josh, It drops quite a bit with going through a UV and pond heater plus pulling from the pond, also the bends and pipework. I would say I'm turning over with that 8000 lph pump about 6000 lph. Terry.

Josh Walker - 7 years ago

Wrighty o ok thought your pond loomed bigger than that and so that works out then that your turning over the full amount of water I your pond every hour and half is that correct ? cheers josh

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Josh, The pump I use is a Mega SS20 http://www.absolute-koi.com/subcat1756.html
And my pond is 11365 ltr. Terry.

Josh Walker - 7 years ago

Wrighty yeah think that's what I'll go with and how many litres is your pond and what pump do you use?

Wrighty - 7 years ago

I got the Firestone 1m rubber. Terry.

Josh Walker - 7 years ago

Wrighty did you buy rubber or off? cheers josh

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Josh, I got mine on eBay. I think that's as good as any. The competition with suppliers is good on there. Terry.

robert boardman - 7 years ago

Watching again
Air in pond where those pipes going
Are they underground from the air pump in shed
Thanks

Wrighty - 7 years ago

Hi Robert, Yes Mate.

soloman66 - 8 years ago

Are your barrel filters still gravity returned?

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi, The system can be built gravity fed or gravity return. Terry.

Carol Scott - 8 years ago

Really enjoyed all 5 videos and I've learned a lot. I have gone thru them twice and I didn't hear how big your pond is. I will be doing mine in the spring and wondered the size of yours.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Carol, Thank you. Very much appreaciated. My pond is just over 2000 uk gallon. It's 15ft x 10ft x just under 4ft at the deep end. Thanks again, Terry.

JAMES GRIGALIS - 8 years ago

what do you do with your baby koi? would be interested in some like to have them from babies you see.
great build aswell didnt see the skimmer finished and working

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi James, I didn't take any of the eggs out this year so the koi would have eaten them. I did take some out last year and grew them. I gave a lot away and kept about 50 for myself, but herron got into the growing tank and got about 30 of them. I still have about 20 left but the herron got all the bigger nice coloured ones. You can see what's left in this video https://youtu.be/dVrVvbA8LuA Thanks, Terry.

Tolba Szy - 8 years ago

Beautiful! It's a nitpicky thing, but is there a disguise or decoration planned for the two return pipes?

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Tolba, Sorry I missed your comment. They will have flowers hanging down over them most of the time. Terry.

magzire - 8 years ago

I just watched the 5 parts and truly enjoyed thst, learned a good bit also.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Thank you for your kind comments. Terry.

Johnny Tubbs - 8 years ago

Hi Terry just to say i love your pond so much i'm going to build one myself but not as big, you've really got me motivated and i've even given my wife an extra £100 to stock up on the tea bags lol !!!!!

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Johnny, Nice one lol. you can't build a pond unless you have plenty of tea. Only thing is, it tastes a lot better when the wife makes it lol. Good luck with the build. If I can help, just give me a shout. pondfilters@gmail.com. Take care, Terry.

Heinz Hans - 8 years ago

this water is clear, because it`s new. .....look it in 3-4 weeks, than you have the "new-pont-syndrome", and it`s green ! ... and than let us look it in 3-4 months, if the filter is really so good...

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Heinz, Subscribe and you'll find out. Terry.

steve - 8 years ago

hi terry. I have some small fry in my pond the only problem I have is how do I get them out lol and I only see them at night with my torxh thanks terry

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Steve, You need a net with a very fine mesh. Or if you get a length of garden hose and a bucket, If you can get the bucket lower than the pond water level you may be able to syphon them out. Terry.

steve - 8 years ago

thanks terry good idea and will try that if no improvement s

steve - 8 years ago

also I have babie fry in my pond koi would they be ok to leave in my pond with the bigger fish ther around 7 days old these are my first fry since making my pond over 3 years ago and really do want to keep these babies thanks terry

Wrighty - 8 years ago

I would remove them. The koi will eat them in time. Terry.

steve - 8 years ago

hi terry I have a question on the uv and pump speed to clarify my water my pond pump is a blagdom 1400 and I also have a TMC proclear ultraviolet uv system 55watts would it be ok to turn the pump on full going fro the uv or would I need to turn the water flow down as these tmc systems can take alot off gallons and do a great job thanks again terry. steve

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Steve, I don't know the recommended through flow of your UV but be careful as to much flow and your UV won't have time to kill the algae. If you get no improvement with your water in a week or so, It might pay to split the flow with a Y connection so your UV gets half the flow. That way you know it will be working. Terry.

Obj. P - 8 years ago

hi Terry.. look amazing.. Can you tell me, how do you make Kaldnes tumbling. I used pump 60lit/minutes but kaldnes don't tumbling. Thank you very much (P/S: sorry, my english very bad)

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi, Thank you. Your media is either new or you have too much in the tub. You need a 6 inch (150mm) round air stone on your air line in the middle at the bottom of the tub. I would take some media out a bit at a time until it starts moving. Give it a while and once it is moving well, start adding some of the media you took out back into the tub. Do this slowly over several days. Hope this helps. Terry.

steve - 8 years ago

good to hear your gardan is cuming along takes time but u will get ther carnt wait to see the gardan and pond again I will be adding another video very soon once this pond decides to clear up cheers terry

steve - 8 years ago

lol hows the pond going and will u be uploading anymoore videos wer all missing your vids

Wrighty - 8 years ago

I will be doing more videos, but I'm stuck doing the garden at the moment as I trashed it building the pond. I'm not too good on gardening, so I'm not videoing that lol. I have got the path round the pond done and finished now so I'm well on the way. Terry.

steve - 8 years ago

thank you terry I have just replaced the bulb in the uv and the filter I have got is a really good one its half wet half wet and dry k1 in one side and bushes in the other side the guy ho made the filter for me worked in the deep in hull so u can amagine how good it his 300 pound I payed for it hopefully it will all come together thank you anyway really helpful I will do a update on my pond and willl get the filteration system in thdr for u to have a look thinking off making a prefilter for the otherside off my pond with bio in ther for moore bacteria clean up and build cheers

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Your very welcome. I'll look forward to the video. Terry.

steve - 8 years ago

hi terry I was hoping u could help me I have used a treatment to clear all the algea in my pond and it has got rid off off the algea I have a problem my pond water is really green I have turned my uv ultraviolet on 55w and I dont no how long it will take with the pond being 22 thousand liters would u yourself do a full water change now or would it be best to leave it and let the uv do its job I just want to speed things up it is so depressing seing my pond in such a state the reason it has got so bad was I bought a uv system off line (BIGMASTAKE) my pond was really nice last year before I noticed the bulb wasnt doing its job and with me working away it didny hrlp I have come home to a really bad peasoup coulred pond thanks terry I have done a video on the pond in the state it his and will be uploading another video on it when its all back as it should be time to start caring for my pond moore thank you terry steve

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Steve, The fish won't mind the green water, like you say, it just looks horrible. If you want to do a water change I wouldn't change more than 25%. It will be a case of sitting back and waiting for your UV to do it's job. You will need a good filter to clear the dead algae. You really should change the bulb in your UV every year at the start of every season. Once a pond goes like that, it does take some getteing back to normal. Good luck and hope all goes well for you. Terry.

Fellatio Belsen - 8 years ago

Handsome pond there a true inspiration to us Koi enthusiasts!

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Lira Ziyad - 8 years ago

What type of air stone do you have? It looks like it is huge! Thanks for the video.

Lira Ziyad - 8 years ago

ahh, ok

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Lira, It's the return from my skimmer. Terry.

Lira Ziyad - 8 years ago

I just finished watching your pond building videos and there is a side return coming from under the hedges that you did not mention in building the pond. Can you tell me what it is?

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Lira, Thank you. There an 8 inch air stone. I have 2 of them in the pond. The air pump is on a timer and comes on 4 times a day, unless it's really hot. Then I have them on constant. Terry.

Kenny Wilson - 8 years ago

Kenny Wilson - 8 years ago

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Kenny, Thank you, really appreciated. I'm going to try to work it out this weekend. I will post it. The thing is, my son is a builder and I got all the building materials at trade price. He laid all the brickwork up to water level in under 3 hours, and had a coffee lol. Thanks again, Terry.

Goju Five - 8 years ago

Heya Terry, I have been following with interest and love the new pond! Is there any reason you are not using the Cloverleaf answer on the algae? Many thanks :)

Goju Five - 8 years ago

Thanks for the swift reply, much appreciated :) I love your DIY work, I wish I was as creative! Keep up the good work and I look forward to future updates!

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi. Thank you for your support and nice comments. I haven't used the Cloverleaf because I've no algae up to now. I will use it if I get algae forming, but up to now there's none. I'm also adding liquid bacteria which helps keep it from growing. Thanks, Terry.

SteveinPhx - 8 years ago

Love it! I really like your design. Thanks for sharing your build with us. I have appreciated your videos.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Thank you for your kind comments. Terry.

What a lovely job you've done. Koi spawning so soon was great to see.
Many thanks for all your uploads, I've learnt loads from all your advice which I hope to use when moving to my new house and building an aquaponic pond with some homemade filters similar to your own.
Enjoy the British summer and hope to see follow up videos soon.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Celyn, Thank you for your kind comments. Good luck with your new build. You can get the plans for building this filter system on my website diypondfilters.com if it helps. Terry.

Robbie - 8 years ago

By far one off the best ponds I have ever seen. Great job on it. Looks amazing.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Thank you, very much appreciated, Terry.

Ron Szegleti - 8 years ago

Looks Great Terry! I've been clicking on your channel, 3 times a day every day in anticipation of your next video. Well worth the wait! I'm a firm believer in letting algae grow on the bottom and the sides of the liner, but of course, I want it out of the water column itself. I really like what you did for the skimmer as far as the water height goes, great way to keep the fish out of it. Please keep us updated!
Cheers.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Ron, Thank you for your kind comments. Algae is good for your pond as it lives on the nitrates. Trouble is it takes over if you let it. Thanks again, Terry.

Robert Hansberger - 8 years ago

Job well done pond looks great. looking forward to next videos. love your DIY filters put one on my moms pond in Northern Arizona, ran fine all winter long with temps below freezing. she uses the water from the filter cleaning on her garden said was the best her garden has done sense she moved there. Are you planing to use your filter water in your garden.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Robert, Thank you. Yes I always put the dirt from my filters on the garden. It's great for the plants. Terry.

Stuart Morris - 8 years ago

Bloody love it Wrighty. Like others I have been waiting daily for updates. Youve made it well addictive. Just to reclarify for dopes like me whats the dimensions and total gallonage of your pond? Looks amazing.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Stuart, Thank you. It's 17ft X 8ft X 3ft 6 inches at the deep end. I hit the sock level and couldn't go any deeper which was disappointing. Complete volume 2300 gallon. Thanks again, Terry.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Morning Kev, Thanks m8, appreciated. I did have a day yesterday where I did nothing apart from sit around my pond with a couple of glasses of wine. really relaxing. But it all starts again now as I have trashed the garden while building the pond lol. Trouble is I know nothing about gardening lol. Should be interesting ;) Thanks again, Terry.

Philip Oakley - 8 years ago

Harry Chung - 8 years ago

Congratulations to the Kois and you on the new pond, Terry. That coping and brick work highlight it really well. Just when you're done with the last batch of fries, along comes another. Hope you have the same luck with this group as the last ones.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Harry. thank you, I've still got last years young ones in the holding tank so didn't get any this year. Thanks again, Terry.

Airlite X - 8 years ago

Wow, the final product looks great Wrighty. Are you still using the brush for the algae?

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi, Thank you. Yes I'm still using the brush to keep the pond clean. I know mine was a new liner, but it will be interesting to see how well it works. I clean my pond with it the day before I'm due to clean my filters, so no extra water loss. Will keep you up dated on that one. Thanks again, Terry

Debbie Arthur - 8 years ago

Really nice looking pond, one question for you is did you do something different to your concrete to make it fish safe? I always thought that it put dangerous chemicals in the water or is that not right. Anyway thanks for sharing and I hope you have many great meals with your koa.

Wrighty - 8 years ago

Hi Debbie, Thank you. I do put water proofer in the cement when mixing. Must say I've had no problems up to now. Thanks again. Terry.

Mulys Cousin - 8 years ago

Beautiful! Thanks for showing us how you did it.

A beautiful job well done and meticulously planned. The pond build and the mechanical support systems should make you very proud. I can't wait to get started on my next pond once we move onto our new home. Thank you for the video's they were much appreciated as well as entertaining. Rick

Wrighty - 8 years ago
