I really like the appearance of the pond. I just wanted one that was deeper and bigger. Something all pond owners should do at their pond is what you show here. Place some stone or heavy gravel at the bottom so it does not look like a large black plastic bag that doesn't make your fish happy. Koi loves to foraging on the bottom and they can easily here. Fantastic!
You got it, bigger and deeper is much better for keeping bigger pond fish. They love this pond and it works as they have a place to hide. Less stress plus much better to keep clean.
i felt the same thing.. like they had created alot more rock and water running bed but the fish are all crammed into a space similar to what they had before.
In a word - fish. If you want fish you can't have a wildlife pond as the fish will eat every dragonfly nymph, midge pupa, damsel fly nymph, tadpole or baby newt which tries to grow in their pond. I used to keep fish but gave them to a neighbour's young son for his pond and now just keep mine for any wildlife which is drawn to the water. The birds love it too.
It is not like a pro dude. You become a pro by researching more than one peice of evidence and applying the best in your evaluation. This pond has various weaknesses.

A lot of comments about pond being too small, they are right but they are forgetting a couple of important facts, you can only build a pond to what the customer wants and can afford. A proper koi pond costs a small fortune to build and running costs can be pretty steep as well.
You can build your own koi pond very cheaply or for a friend but when you are building for paying clients you can’t cut any anything out. I have fish holding systems that cost me £11 per 1000 UK gals per year. Using air to move the water up and around wetland filters.
Made my first one in 1978. Sump pump and a gym sock....now many ponds later, It comes natural. I did what they proclaim new, years ago, with other ponds or rivers connected for natural filtration. Battled birds, nature and racoons and disease. My wife loves her Koi.
I have probably watched this video more then 10 times to get ideas for when I build my pond next spring but I also can’t get enough of that song. Anybody know what it’s called? It’s very relaxing.
great video. will be perfect if you talk a bit more about the products. I notice you put something below the liner then another layer of that same something on top of it. Also about the skimmer, and the waterfall brand and products. not sure we have those in Spain. info will be appreciated
Fernando Ecamp they might not be available in Spain at the moment, I might be able to get them to you as we have them in the UK 🇬🇧 my email is mark@anypond.com, I must warn you they are quality bits of kit so come with that price tag.
Love this video the natural pond looks great and its a good water feature on the yard. The fishes have good space. I was lookinh for a video on building earth pond cos i want to get someone to build one for me and thanks for video well presented and pond professionaly done.❤
The Pond Advisor An extra liner of that type must also provide more surface area for beneficials. It’s use is worthy of a comment from you since no one else seems to do that.
Thomas Krafft I try and reply to everyone, yes beneficial bacteria will grow on the surface of the fleece and on all the natural rocks and gravel. A lot of people do not use an overlay or rocks and gravel. Then wonder why the pool starts to leak in a couple of years or if a dog jumps in.
The Pond Advisor Sorry-I wasn’t asking for a reply to me directly. I meant that when you use the extra liner next time in a video to consider commenting in it. 😉
Hello Mark great vid as always and that build was just great the pond looks just fantastic over the years when the plants grow it's going to look just great hope they do plant around it
Superb video mark and superb inspirational pond , currently digging a 4.2m x 2.5m x 1m pond , and will be placing rockery stone around the edge , looks like you have a ledge around 10cm down from the grass edge , presuming the ledge needs to be totally level from one side to the other length and breadth ? , does the grass edge also need to be level length and breadth ?. Thank you.
I made a pond once {just Goldfish and Guppys (Millionsfish)} that I made just by digging a hole (6 inches to about 2 feet deep), and then lining it with that Black Gardening Plastic... lasted a couple of years! Always wanted something similar to this though! Problem is, I can't afford it! Oh, Well! lol Beautiful transformation here... you do great work! :-)
Thank you very much, we all start somewhere, I had six paper rounds to fund my addiction of ponds and water features when I was 11. I also tried filling a hole with a rubbish bin liner.
@@ThePondAdvisor LOL I think the main problem I had was I had no money for good filtration, so I was cleaning it out every other month... a lot of work! I'm just going to get my tank going again! :-)
@@ThePondAdvisor Maybe someday, I'll do a really nice, big pond with a big, beautiful waterfall! I got it in my head, what I want, but so many health problems bearing down on me... two years ago, I was told that I have a year or two left... maybe next life! :-)
Hi there, great build. I'm currently building a pond for my grandparents, and will be installing rocks. What is that foam glue you're using to secure the rocks in place. Thanks 😊
Good work! How do you clean the gravel/gunk that collects in the bottom of the pond? Do you ever put a sump at the bottom for easy pumping of gunk from a low point?
Rebel Quadron FPV yes we will drain and clean the pond every 3-5 years, but the wetland will be clean once a season. The gunk gets move around by the fish and high turn over. It’s more like a river system. The gunk settles out in the wetland and waterfall filter. The skimmer also removes a lot of the floating waste. It’s all in the design!
Rebel Quadron FPV you don’t have to take any stones out, you may have to move a couple, but that’s the beauty of wetland filters, you wash the filter with mature pond water! How to clean is coming up in future videos. But yes pumping out any gunk, dirty water, out from the pump vault or snorkel. You can use a sludge/waste pump or a good pond vacuum
The Pond Advisor, you built a very nice & lovely pond. However, it would be even better if lights were added. Except, the owner don't care to see the pond at night.
Great video! That's really inspiring. I'm trying to build something similar in a remote island in the Philippines. All I got from Manila is a pump, a bio filter, and hose. Black liner from China(only one, should I ordered one more?). All the rest come from here, from stones to elbow grease! So, no waterfall foam. Can I replace with cement or tile adhesive, giving the right time to cure?
Thank you, I love hearing from viewers all over, I just want to fly over and give you a hand but glad you have been inspired. Yes you can use cement, different look and feel however, can you not get any PU foam?
Under pond drainage, so any under pond water can drain away from the pond. Raise the pond level higher than the ground level so it never raises the pond liner.
@@ThePondAdvisor I have plans to make a pond and have an area of about 32 sq feet of cattails as a filter area before the falls. Love how natural your work looks. Nice to see someone that really puts his heart into his work!
Great video, clear and concise. I'm in the middle of building my own pond, 3m x 3m x1m, with shelves. Hit a roadblock at the moment trying to decide what liner to use. So much conflicting information on the web as to which is best/most durable/cost effective etc. Do you have any guidance?
Great video, awesome pond! Was the wetland filter placed at the very top creating the waterfall, or on the shelf below it with the tree stump? I’m assuming it was at the top and as it fills up it then overflows down the waterfall, but just wanted to be sure. Many thanks!
The cement like material is waterfall foam Here is a link waterfeature.shop/collections/installation/products/pro-waterfall-foam-sealant The gray and white material is under and overlay protection for the liner!
As you have it, the gravel atop the aqua blocks is above or at the water level. Do think the functionality of the wetland filtration system would be reduced if it were submerged under a few inches of water?
This pond looks amazing. We're going to try to recreate it. Where does the 50 mil pipe feed into the wetland filter system? Do you run it through the vault, or under the blocks, or some place else? Thank you for making these videos. Tremendously helpful!
Not sure if you have answered this question already but could you post a list of the equipment used in this pond; pump, skimmer box, tonnage of rock and pebbles etc. Thanks in advance.
It was an adaption of our basic pond kit, extra components. I don’t have a list of the materials. We built an extra mini wetland filter, 2 aquabloxs and a pump vault, extra 63mm and 50mm fittings Four Ton of rock and plants, a number of different types of 25kg gravel, Our basic pond kit. waterfeature.shop/collections/pond-waterfall-kits/products/basic-small-pond-kit-2-4m-by-3-3m-8-x-11-uk
Love the video was wondering with the white underlay over the liner would that break down or cause algae at all? and how thick minimum would you recommend for the liner?
The Pond Advisor thanks heaps so I’m assuming it’s the same stuff that goes under the liner. It’s summer in Australia now so best I start digging but the sad part is koi isn’t allowed in my state :(
Kobe Jordan yes that is a crazy law, but I totally understand that carp in your rivers/creeks are not native and you have to protect that. Yes get that hole dug and if you need any product in Oz I have a few mates over there that will be able to help you out, email me mark@anypond.com and I will pass you over their details!!! Keep up the good work down under!!!
@@ThePondAdvisor Thanks for this video, very informative. Can I used regular insulation PU foam, the type used for filling in seams between windows and door frames?
Yes you can use it in an aquaponics system to divert flowing water, I don't believe it would be a problem but I will probably be safe in saying it's not been tested. I does not break down in water sun light yes a little
Ed Carson we use professional waterfall foam in the video to fix and low water down in this video, here is the product waterfeature.shop/collections/installation/products/pro-waterfall-foam-sealant
@@ThePondAdvisor many thanks🙂 I'm building a 4m x5m pond currently I'm done 5ft at the deepest end. and using local granite rock to landscape it with inside and out . I did a 3M X 2M one last year in the front garden as a trial.
For the last ten years we have been box welding rubber liners in raised concrete pools. Their are a number of different paints and sealers on the market, but 1mm rubber will do the job the best.

Hi great stuffwhat plants do you recommend for a wetland filtration system
It's not all about the plants but understand your question. I like for the UK climate watercress, brooklime, and ever green equisetum.
If you are not in the UK try researching whatever bog plants are available: there is a surprising variety.
So happy I stumbled across the channel 😁😁 new subscriber

It rained pretty hard last night and my pond liner floated water got through the sides or through the wet ground what can you recommend
Under pond drainage, so any under pond water can drain away from the pond. Raise the pond level higher than the ground level so it never raises the pond liner.

@@ThePondAdvisor Thank you.
Hi good day may I ask what type of spray foam do you guys yous to set the rocks
We use a number of different PU foams, the best thing to do is google waterfall foam.
Im very Thankful for the information thanks guys
Dario Mccollin no problem
@@ThePondAdvisor Thanks for this video, very informative. Can I used regular insulation PU foam, the type used for filling in seams between windows and door frames?
Awesome job!!!! exactly what I am looking for. By the way, What is the white sheets you put above the liner?
This is a white version of this waterfeature.shop/search?q=underlay
Does that landscape foam break down in the water? Could it be used in an aquaponics pond if you were pumping the water into growbeds?
Yes you can use it in an aquaponics system to divert flowing water, I don't believe it would be a problem but I will probably be safe in saying it's not been tested. I does not break down in water sun light yes a little
Fantastic creation Mark, top drawer. Are you ‘glueing’ every rock in place are just around the cascade?
Ed Carson we use professional waterfall foam in the video to fix and low water down in this video, here is the product waterfeature.shop/collections/installation/products/pro-waterfall-foam-sealant
@@ThePondAdvisor many thanks🙂
I'm building a 4m x5m pond currently I'm done 5ft at the deepest end. and using local granite rock to landscape it with inside and out
. I did a 3M X 2M one last year in the front garden as a trial.
Sounds nice
Nice video mark helps me alot!!!!
No Face thank’s mate,
What is the white sheet type of cover used for? The one that the rocks are being placed on....I haven't seen any of those in use before.
Steve Ascher this is our version of underlay that I use as an overlay, a lot of pond contractors use a non geotextile coloured black
if i build a concrete pond with blocks do ithen need to paint it or do i put in a liner
ty fron denmark
For the last ten years we have been box welding rubber liners in raised concrete pools. Their are a number of different paints and sealers on the market, but 1mm rubber will do the job the best.
I'm so impressed by your work. I'm still collecting ideas to make my fish pond. I think I'll have to contact you by mail for more hints and tips 🎉
