Awesome design scheme! I manage an aquarium shop in North Carolina and today a customer came in wearing a Frank shirt! She said she's been a big fan of your's for a while now and was envious that you and I met during Reefapalooza 2015 in NYC haha.
I don't how you do it - I wasn't a fish person, I probably won't ever get any fish BUT I love your videos and have learnt so much about fish and definitely have a new found appreciation for them. On a sad note, I lost my Mom a few days ago and watching your videos is just about the only thing keeping me sane and together. Distraction in the form of Joey videos are the best anxiety, depression, grief suppressants.. And I just wanted to thank you for your hard work u put into these videos. ❤
Hey Joey, I gotta say it, I haven't check your videos for a long time because the lack of actual DIY projects. It's good to see you're coming back to your roots, you have a subscriber back :) thank you
I would suggest adding faux stacked rock house siding for the sides of the pond! It would add more to the cost, I know. But, I feel like it would dress it up nicely in the cheapest and easiest way!
Hey Joey i tried building a plywood aquarium (500 gallon) after seeing ur how to video on it and it was great for 2 months but then the glass just came off and the entire house was flooded with 500 gallons of water. So my parents are kinda scared now when ever u drop a new vid😂😂 This was a while ago and the tank was just sitting there but this pond build of yours inspired me to make a pond out of it and i really wanted to keep black diamonds in it. I used to hate sting rays but because of ur videos i now love them. (I probably am gonna have to sell my ps4 to get them though )
God I'm such a dingus, I'm so sleep deprived I caught myself blowing at my screen to get the wood dust off the wood after you drilled a hole into it. Awesome build my dude!
Instead of just painting the outside black did you think about doing a 3D kinda outside to make it look like a mound or something more natural? could use Plaster wrapping and use balloons to make rocks and maybe even embed real sticks into the side and esc, almost like your Aqua decor backgrounds. Also would probably help installation also.
Loving the video so far! Your videos really inspire me to do creative things with my fish tanks. I love the personality in your videos and can't wait for another one to come out. Keep doing amazing things!!!
G'day Joey, A great way you can heat ponds like these is to run pipe work around core (between planks).. on a closed circuit with pipes running into large olive drum with only 1 heater.. if out doors you can bury drum in ground for better insulation.. Then you should insulate between the ribs with expanda foam before covering with ply.. Or you can run a radiator base system on bottom... only issue is this takes longer to heat and cool.. FYI I have done a build like this in the past and found coil heating ( around sides within bracing).. is the most efficient for heating and cooling... Great build
I am so proud of myself to know what a washer is 😎😎😎😎😎😎 Especially since I usually don’t build anything and also: English is my second language. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, yes, this is a weird thing to take pride in, but ya’all have no idea how badly I wish I had the handyness level of this guy!!!!!
All hail! The King of Diy has returned! Loved every minute of it. How hard/expensive would this project have been if you used pond armor instead of a pond liner?
After watching your video asking for the definition of an at home pond and thinking about it, imo i believe an indoor pond requires 4 things. 1. Semi low to the ground so the main viewing window is the top 2. Open top 3. A variety of wildlife and plant life 4. Natural filtration
you're one of my biggest inspirations, I plan on building a 10 by 12 foot shed in my backyard so I can build a large pond like aquarium for my iridescent sharks. This walkthrough of the indoor pond is helping tons!!!
When we moved into my house my dad and I built a temp pond out of wood and think bin liner material. We had all the equipment already cycled and what not and it was about 500 gallons my dad reckons. That pond was used for about 7 months so whatever we did must have worked lol 😂
I imagined the indoor pond having a shape of a standard pond you would see in someone’s backyard. The square shape is a little bit odd but it’s unique and I’m sure you’ll make it look great!
Don’t buy the white foam I have about 2” of it under mine and the water is still almost ice cold in the winter. Use the pink foam it’s cheaper better made and comes in larger sizes. Try 3” high which should compress a little still giving you a little over 2”.
Love your videos thanks to you by watching your videos i am also in to the hobby and i have arrowana , koi ,oscar, chichild ,red tail catfish etc thank you
Omg thanks for making my day better! I'm sitting here watching this while sicker then a dog. I'm trying to start my own pound. This is educational. Love your vids. Keep them coming! I always wait for them vids.
Damn I was actually watching your old videos again just cause I was already done watching your last video..and the notification popped up and I was like damn it's a treat😎 by the way I was watching your African shell dwelling office aquarium video and I've always wondered about how it's going now..can you please make an 'update' video on it ?
It's a shame with a lids on to stop humidity it will become an uninteresting box in the corner. Especially once the corrugated roofing sheets are on. It's just the cheapest possible indoor monster tank to build. Ponds dont have lids.
Without wanting to sound like a negative nancy, I think making this with right angles is a big mistake. I pictured this as having a bowed front, which would make it more of a pond and less like a closed-in tank. I hope I’m ultimately wrong, but I feel that aesthetically, this is going to stand out as an eyesore in your otherwise beautiful gallery.
I can already see the pond done with the huge fish swimming around....this is going to be amazing ! I don't know if I am allowed to mention other channels in the comment section ( my apologies Joey if this is not allowed) but there is a youtuber 'myaquaticdiary' who owns a breathtaking collection of GIANTS ... and hopefully, this will help you regarding the pond stocking (and am also betting on you getting inspired from his videos to make your own 5000+ gallons pond or aquarium :P )

Where in NC? I'm in the triangle.
I'm in Asheville, NC! Where you at? :D
Yeah i'm wondering where your store is at too...wiould be great to meet you!
You run The Fish Room in Raleigh?
Where at in nc?
I don't how you do it - I wasn't a fish person, I probably won't ever get any fish BUT I love your videos and have learnt so much about fish and definitely have a new found appreciation for them.

Has anyone else noticed Joey's catch phase " let me explain"
Hey Joey, I gotta say it, I haven't check your videos for a long time because the lack of actual DIY projects. It's good to see you're coming back to your roots, you have a subscriber back :) thank you
Put some lights at the bottom of the ''pond'' so we can see the fish swim :)
I’ll probably just use an underwater camera instead. Regular lights.
You want to fill it up before you staple the edge of the liner, as the weight of the water will push all the corners in
I would suggest adding faux stacked rock house siding for the sides of the pond! It would add more to the cost, I know. But, I feel like it would dress it up nicely in the cheapest and easiest way!
Now this is the King of DIY that I started watching! Something we could actually do and afford! Thank you.
I love how excited and enthusiastic you are for this; nothing beats seeing someone talking about something they love
Guppy pond? You need to have a guppy tank. Such a classic
Can’t believe your about to be first aquarium channel in history to hit 1M your an inspiration. I grew up watching your videos.
I would love to see your old fancy goldfish back in the pond. I think they are the most suited to what you have built.
Never knew I needed an indoor pond.....thx joey😐
I would love to see a turtle set up with this pond . Do it Joey !
Hey Joey i tried building a plywood aquarium (500 gallon) after seeing ur how to video on it and it was great for 2 months but then the glass just came off and the entire house was flooded with 500 gallons of water. So my parents are kinda scared now when ever u drop a new vid😂😂

Once it’s wrapped it will look amazeing, people forget what a house looks like with out all the plaster board
Great video Joey! Looking forward to seeing the end product.
God I'm such a dingus, I'm so sleep deprived I caught myself blowing at my screen to get the wood dust off the wood after you drilled a hole into it.
Awesome build my dude!
WolfTwisted Go to sleep meth head
Looks excellent! I'd love to see some graceful dragon koi gliding around in there 😍
please paint the skirting board before you fill it with water lol
Who else thought Joey trapped himself in there lol.
Ah, finally frank gets his own pond.
It’s beautiful!!!!
U r going nuts
This is such a good channel
Can't wait to see the finished project

so frank gets a pond all to himself, lol he'd love that too much.
the most rational reasons for subscribing to a youtube channel, always at the end thanks joey
Love your energy man!
G'day Joey,
A great way you can heat ponds like these is to run pipe work around core (between planks).. on a closed circuit with pipes running into large olive drum with only 1 heater.. if out doors you can bury drum in ground for better insulation..
Then you should insulate between the ribs with expanda foam before covering with ply..
Or you can run a radiator base system on bottom... only issue is this takes longer to heat and cool..
FYI I have done a build like this in the past and found coil heating ( around sides within bracing).. is the most efficient for heating and cooling...
Great build
Could run threaded rods through each corner instead of using bolts fairly cheaply and it would help spread the load on the corners.
You should add some TURTLES and some KOI seems like a good combination so hope to see them.
I am so proud of myself to know what a washer is 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Especially since I usually don’t build anything and also: English is my second language.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, yes, this is a weird thing to take pride in, but ya’all have no idea how badly I wish I had the handyness level of this guy!!!!!
Nice pond so far
A viewing panel on just one side would look awesome!
Man I can't wait to see this project when it's finished.
All hail! The King of Diy has returned! Loved every minute of it.
How hard/expensive would this project have been if you used pond armor instead of a pond liner?
Joe just a little tip, film your videos on the other angle so we could see the gallery in the back. Great vid as always
After watching your video asking for the definition of an at home pond and thinking about it, imo i believe an indoor pond requires 4 things.
1. Semi low to the ground so the main viewing window is the top
2. Open top
3. A variety of wildlife and plant life
4. Natural filtration
"variation"?
Onyx
He/she means that the pond must have different kinds of plants and animals
Edit: i did not want to offend anyone by assuming one's gender 😂😂
Alexandria Basbas so a koi pond isnt a pond? lol
*variety
... based on the name koi *pond*
it is a pond...
Keep it up Joey I can’t wait to see the fish you get for you new indoor pond and I love watching your fish videos everyday man keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations on 800,000 sub
By the end of the year you'll definitely be over 1million
So excited to see this pond complete!
Turn your plumbing into a waterfall type filteration system. That's what I have outside on my pond. Hides pipes and works great!
Put a bottom drain in it, it will save you a lot of heart ache down the line
Lol then the fish will get drained out XD
Dz Player01 no mate they’re used extensively in koi ponds, they have a cover on them😂
Looks great... Woodwork is awsome and strong... Love the fact that it can be drained and moved or changed to your liking... Love it!!!
you're one of my biggest inspirations, I plan on building a 10 by 12 foot shed in my backyard so I can build a large pond like aquarium for my iridescent sharks. This walkthrough of the indoor pond is helping tons!!!
Def excited to see how this turns out!! Can't wait!
It looks awesome
DIY Jacuzzi ? lol
What do you think joeys other shirts look like? Do you think he has any other shirts? How’s many DIY fishkeeper shirts does Joey own?
Radishes for the Resistance joey does not simply eear non diy shirts. Pssh
When we moved into my house my dad and I built a temp pond out of wood and think bin liner material. We had all the equipment already cycled and what not and it was about 500 gallons my dad reckons. That pond was used for about 7 months so whatever we did must have worked lol 😂
Im also building my own pond this is an awesome build cant w8 to see the fishes in it.
Ive never clicked so fast
I imagined the indoor pond having a shape of a standard pond you would see in someone’s backyard. The square shape is a little bit odd but it’s unique and I’m sure you’ll make it look great!
i don’t see a pond. i see a carrel for a joey.
Thank you for continually being amazing you inspire so many
You're still showing people how to build new stuff from time to time. 😁
'As you can see here we have a little bit of a drop.....(stares intensely ) ......... Dont worry about dat' xD
Don’t buy the white foam I have about 2” of it under mine and the water is still almost ice cold in the winter. Use the pink foam it’s cheaper better made and comes in larger sizes. Try 3” high which should compress a little still giving you a little over 2”.
You sir, is an inspiration! Say hello to Frank for me, pls!🙏🏽
Love your videos thanks to you by watching your videos i am also in to the hobby and i have arrowana , koi ,oscar, chichild ,red tail catfish etc thank you
Omg thanks for making my day better! I'm sitting here watching this while sicker then a dog. I'm trying to start my own pound. This is educational. Love your vids. Keep them coming! I always wait for them vids.
Super hype for the pond Joey!
Looking great Joey! Cant wait to see the finished build!
So excited for this to be done! Progress is coming along nicely!
You’re great man keep going the good work 👍🏻
Get the fancy goldfish back again for that pond
Looks amazing
You always put a SMILE on my face... {:-)
First South African!!!! Whoo hoo
I've heard it ain't going so well for the white people down in South Africa.
Joey I ❤ you so much!
I am 13 and I got into fish because of you x. You have given me so much knowlage 💘💘
note how he starts calling it an aquarium
Pretty excited Joey!
Looking good man!
“It’s almost like a ribbed.......ah..structure” get ur mind out of the gutter joey😂
You are truly the King of DIY flex on em 💪🏽
Happy mothers day!!!!!!
Damn I was actually watching your old videos again just cause I was already done watching your last video..and the notification popped up and I was like damn it's a treat😎 by the way I was watching your African shell dwelling office aquarium video and I've always wondered about how it's going now..can you please make an 'update' video on it ?
yes please update us on the shellies
It is gone
Excited to see an old school diy project from you!
Hey Joey, get a shovel nose catfish too. Would be dope if you had both that and a red tail
I feel like he is just calling it a pond so he can have another huge aquarium😂
yaaaaaaaaaaas queen come thru with that budget beauty
Excited for this one!!
This is going to be the most interesting build yet
for the tape you could try zip system tape, its used on plywood before you but siding on houses. i may work better than duck tape
It's a shame with a lids on to stop humidity it will become an uninteresting box in the corner. Especially once the corrugated roofing sheets are on.
It's just the cheapest possible indoor monster tank to build.
Ponds dont have lids.
I want to see this thing finished :D
Make sure to staple the liner after you filled it with water as it will likely be too loose or det pulled off otherwise
Super excited to see this pond come to fruition.
Amazing Joey! Cant wait to see how the pond turns out. Motivating me to finish my 1440 gallon. I'd love to see a red tail catfish in there.
Without wanting to sound like a negative nancy, I think making this with right angles is a big mistake.
I pictured this as having a bowed front, which would make it more of a pond and less like a closed-in tank.
I hope I’m ultimately wrong, but I feel that aesthetically, this is going to stand out as an eyesore in your otherwise beautiful gallery.
I can already see the pond done with the huge fish swimming around....this is going to be amazing !
I don't know if I am allowed to mention other channels in the comment section ( my apologies Joey if this is not allowed) but there is a youtuber 'myaquaticdiary' who owns a breathtaking collection of GIANTS ... and hopefully, this will help you regarding the pond stocking (and am also betting on you getting inspired from his videos to make your own 5000+ gallons pond or aquarium :P )
This is going to be a great project! Can't wait for more :)
You've turned into a terminator in the last year, make a video of your work out routine!
Will be interesting to see how you get the pond liner to sit square in the corners
Rob Moss the water will do that for him?
Whoa so exciting! 👍
Super cool! Can't wait to see it running and with fish.
oh sweet im building an indoor pond 2
Challenge the Wild nice
