"ghost" = reflection DUH

who's leg do i need to hump?

sissy murphy - 10 years ago

love the use of the turtle sandbox.What a change you would never know there is all that concrete down there .Would not want your electric bill though

Eric Riddle - 10 years ago

It seems to me that he was just filming the pond from inside his house threw a window. The "ghost" was just a reflection. You can obvious hear the audio difference from being indoors, and someone putting away dishes...

Razzreal - 10 years ago

I have to agree with everyone here, really well built and beautiful.

Hannah Hendru - 10 years ago

Amazing job on the pond. You also have a shadow person that appears between the white tree and the green trees in the background by the two large rocks. It fades in around the 4:52 mark and fades out around the 5:03 mark. I watched it several times and you can see through the figure. Also if you weren't speaking when filming this you might have also caught an EVP!

What remarkable powers of observation you have, ...but not quite powerful enough to notice the lampshade that also appears above the mysterious shadowy see through figure :)

ACE - 10 years ago

You are right I saw the shadow , that was weird , not sure it it was edited but looks real to me

xarrow81 - 11 years ago

I don't get it. How can someone dislike the vid ????

jim swinton - 11 years ago

absolutely beautiful, your fish are huge, how old are they? What part of the world do you live in? I saw snow. Do you like using bottom drains? Have you had any issues?

Razgriz Belka - 11 years ago

Man.....you really making me jealous with your work...i really loves your design and it really inspired me...my pond is not big and not so natural looking..so I want to enlarge it and improvise it...I think is not too expensive if I built it by myself..Thanks for share..

Arfan Mirza - 11 years ago

Andre your pond is amazing roughly how many Gallons would you say your pond is?

sam harlowe - 11 years ago

You amazing person I love watching this it so relaxing there I bet a epic film and pond is out standing big well done

SuperMaxibaby - 11 years ago

stunning, what do you do to prevent predators ?

PrecsMO YinWai - 11 years ago

I'm thoroughly amazed by this, I'm still wondering if this is really a DIY job possible? simply amazing! However, for such depth and huge size pond, I personally really over worrying if the bricks really able to hold that tremendous water volume without any structural failure in long run??? Also, that filter compartment space, I personally prefer a huge gravity sump tank filter and a huge trickle tower.

andre300167 - 11 years ago

Thanks for your reaction. The stones are fixed with concrete on and against the wall. Earth is put on top of this concrete and wall to give it a natural look. Andre

Awesome pond ! I will bookmark this for my next build. One question, are the outer stones fixed with anything or just free standing? Beautiful fish as well, I bet they cost a fortune.

looks like you have a ghost in the video - starts at 4:53 - 5:06 - left of the yellow shrub its a great looking pond

Ryan Le - 11 years ago

Hi Andre, A beautiful pond you have. Can you make a video of your filtration system? Myself has a pond also, but your will be mine next one, if i ever get a chance to upgrade. Thanks happy Koi

KOImarkPL - 11 years ago

Hi Andre You can write to me how you deal with low temperatures and PVC plumbing? Do not burst frozen water pipes PVC? I do like the tank at home in the backyard, but for me, in eastern Poland, winter temperatures sometimes drop to -15 * C and is worried that the whole system can be damaged PVC.

andre300167 - 11 years ago

Hi Mohd, No I dindn't have any problems, I used a watertight mortel to make it watertight. Thanks for your reaction André

Mohd Farizal Razali - 11 years ago

Hi andre300167, what a lovely pond, it seem like you made the wall of the pond entirely from bricks, do you have any leakage problem?

Bruce Garcia - 11 years ago

Nice work. One of the best Koi ponds I've seen on Youtube so far!

Sebastian Stormborn - 11 years ago

i cant believe that's a concrete pond! amazing job in making the pond edge look so natural (which often is only achieved with a liner). how about throwing a few sturgeons in there with the koi? lol

Romano Romaker - 12 years ago

excellent pond

Ramon Freeman - 12 years ago

You should have put White or blue Tiles instead of just leaving it with concrete since you done so much hardwork, fish would have been much more visible and you could swim wiht the fish as some of your family members are already doing !!!

Andrew Beattie - 12 years ago

Heh, i actually ended up here cause i was looking at natural swimming pools which i want to build and i do expect to jump while drunk :)

andre300167 - 12 years ago

A lot of people ask me how much it costs. I think it is not so much, but my wife doesn't agree :-). Because I build it all by myself I saved a lot of money on labour. I used 14 m3 of concrete, 1100 concrete bricks, and a lot of pipes and valves ans rocks. And I still had a lot of stuff of my old pond like pumps, UV, vortexes etc. I can tell you one thing: 'it was worth all the money .'

ya coco - 12 years ago

adding weeping tree make it nice

nicksmith1123 - 12 years ago

how much did that cost?

Thechuck Miester - 12 years ago

@johnson5326 Hi Johnson, It contains 72 M3 total water volume. It has a depth of 2 meters and the biggest lenght is about 10 meters. I am glad you liked it. Andre
