- Watch as these Fancy Goldfish get a new home! These fancy goldfish have been housed in holding tanks and are ready to have room to swim and enjoy the good life in Mesa, Arizona. This is a unique pond built on top of the patio using blocks and Aquascape patio bowls as the waterfalls. Can you imagine having this in your backyard garden?

love how you managed to hide the liner
🙌👍
What a cool look for a back patio !!!
Love the pond bowls!
So beautiful pond.
beautiful above ground pond.
Very cool idea. Lighting adds so much ambience. Good job
Those are some happy fish!! Love the design!
Thank you Lisa! High fin 🙌
Really makes me want to do something like this at my house! Awesome job!! Looks great as always!
I think more people will be inspired to do something like this. Supper cool way to have an outdoor aquarium.
Wow it turned out so nice !
🙌
Impressive job, looking great! Smart use of these concrete blocks, and creating a small overhang at the top. Thank you for showing!
🙌👍🤓🧐🙌🙌
Nice Pond Idea. Great Stuff
Really cool change from the norm
Looks perfect in that space what great craftsmanship
Thank you 👍
Cool job guys! Oh the fish will be soooo much happier in their water feature.
😊 👍🙌
That's very cool guys. I love the idea of the brick wall inside the liner. Showing the bride to be this, I've got a summer project now
That’s the idea! You can do it 👍
Another great job guys!!! Amazing finishing touches 👏😍👌spillway bowls 🥣 my favorite
🙌👍
Hecka nice good job y'all
Braddah Ralph stunning great work!! Love it so clean stream line and very modern 🤙🏽♥️🐠🤙🏽
Thank you Mel!!
Great build! So unique.
👍🙌
What a Beauty!! Great job!
🙌
I think it would have looked a little better if the bowls were positioned from the back so you could see the waterfall from the front but overall pretty neat little pond for goldfish 👍
🤷♂️
I think it’s good the way it is because the view from inside the house is amazing
@Jack-wc3ob EXACTLY! And that’s why it was designed that way 👍
Like your comment, it looks back to front. The bowls are in the wrong place, Intricate 45 degree cuts to the bricks at the back but simple butt up bricks joints at the front.
love it, thank you for my new pond idea
That looks great
Thank you!
absolutely brilliant video
Thank you!
Great job as always guys!!
Thank you Tommy! 🙌
I love it. I was just thinking of making a similar thing to raise lotus and barramundi.
Nice job guys , it looks great !
Thank you!
Great spot for this feature 👊🏼
Thanks Dan! 👍
Nice Work Brochacho 🤟🤟
🤙🙌
Really good work i like it alot.
Thank you!
Cool project man
Thank you Jorge! 👍
Another awesome build PondscapeAZ team congrats. This formal pond amazing, love the bowl placement. and the insert lighting is the cherry on top. Absolutely love it. Where can i get those external lights to buy.
Thank you! We got the “insert/cap” lights from Ewing Irrigation.
Think I might try this! Betterr than digging.😂
Can we see the update on this? I love fancy gold fish!
I L O V E IT!!!
👍🤩👍🤩👍🤩
👏🏻
🙌
Can you please come to Oklahoma City and do that for me? :) It's beautiful and perfect!.... exactly what I have dreamed about having. Amazing job. :) Mark
Just landed in Texas for a project. We can swing over when done here 😜
Love the above ground pond look. I also have some fancy goldfish out in my yard. Would love to get one built for them. How much was that project?
There are several variables that will determine the cost of a custom project. Feel free to give us a call if you want to discuss further. Pondscapes 480-987-7781
love the liner sandwich, how did you measure it? how did you create the liners rectangle before having the interior bricks?
With a tape measure.
Very nice! looks formal?
Thanks?
Nice! I was thinking of doing a similar thing but for planting, no fish. I was going to use wood framing but the price of wood has gotten WAY out of hand. If I were to dry stack stone blocks like you did, how / what you use to 'glue' the stone blocks together?
Good question! Did you ever find what glue to use ? I'm trying to figure out what glue I can use that is safe for fishes.
nice looking pond what was the sticky stuff that you used to put the stones down with?
Thank you. Construction adhesive caulk.
Good you can do one for me soon!❤
Let us know when you’re ready 👍
Thanks for the video. I'm looking to replace an older landscape timber section in front of the house with a pond much like this that will have two sections with one cascading into the other. Each section will be larger (around 10x12x3 feet. Did you install the inner ring of brick for structural integrity or aesthetics and what type of bonding material did you use for the blocks? BTW, I'm stealing this bowl idea. It looks great.
Both structural and aesthetics. Construction adhesive. Steal away 👍
What a beautiful build! Thank you for sharing.
Does all of that concrete brick in the water throw off the PH of the water? I know it is big thing to watch out for in Aquaponics systems.
No issues with the water chemistry
@@pondscapesaz
Thanks!
What did y'all use to seal the liner? Caulk or silicone? I tried to slow the video to see. Beautiful work.
Thank you. Construction caulking
Really nice! I’d like to finish the inside of my pond that way. How do you know what kind of pavers are fish safe?
Well cured, massive concrete blocks are fine for the fish :)
Most concrete block is fine. Just make sure to thoroughly wash the block down and acclimate the water before adding you fish. 👍
I wish u were in Florida. I would love for u to design and build a Japanese Koi Pond.
Love it 🔥, but did you also glue the bricks on the inside as well?
Thank you and yes, the interior is also glued.
I need a spill bowl!
Where did y'all get these by chance?
Beautiful product. Was there a functional reason for using construction adhesive over grout or was it an aesthetic choice?
I did not want to see grout between the joints.
Gorgeous! What glue did you use in stacking the blocks?
Construction adhesive
Amazing
What type of adhesive are you using to lock in the stones? Also, can this setup work for a 8x8x3ft deep setup?
Construction adhesive. I wouldn’t use this method with this block to go 3ft high.
What do you use to keep the bricks from moving out of place? You said they're glued together.
I'm not knowledged about building walls so Appreciate if you answer
Non-toxic construction adhesive
nice pond but should have had a front glass window!
That pond will be stronger than my house, how many brick / stones do you need to use. It must have cost the customer a fortune.!!!!!
Don’t remember the block count. Cool stuff isn’t cheap💵 😜
Looks great. I have clients asking about roof top ponds. Would you care to guess the total weight of this system?
This feature weighs approx 13,000 to 14,000lbs
Don't you have to worry about the pH changing because of the bricks? Are they acid washed like in a pool? Or is it concrete that creates the problem?
Have never had issues with this method.
What did you use to bond the concrete blocks together?
Construction adhesive
How are the fish doing? I feel like the water temps would be really high in the summer.
Water temps stay comfortable for the goldfish. Never gets direct sunlight.
What did you use to lock the blocks together
On this project, I used “construction adhesive” glue
great work! would it be possible not to put the skeleton stones in the side where the wall of the house is? that could made the size of the water in the pond bigger.
Not in this scenario. You do not want the pressure of the water pressing up against this hollow wall.
@@pondscapesaz i see. thanks for the reply
what glue did you use on the blocks ?
Construction adhesive
Were the interior bricks set with anything?
Yes they were glued in place.
What's glue to use to glue the blocks? Thanks
I now use Structure Bond foam adhesive. It is applied from the same type of foam gun as our waterfall foam. Drys faster and easier to apply.
I personally think the pond is in the wrong spot on the patio. Also, it would have been nice if the pond had a glass window built in. Also would like to know why the bowls were not placed on the backside.
Great suggestions. Thanks for sharing.
My preference would have been to just have the pond liner inside without the inside blocks. A darker surface inside the pond and more water volume. Those bricks take up fish room in my opinion. It looks nice though.
👍
How much energy would it take to keep that much water warm during winter?
That is a good question and extremely hard to answer. There are a lot of variables that will affect operation cost. The closest answer I could give you would be to factor in the wattage cost of the heaters you plan on using based on your daily kilowatt rate.
Why dont you use cement concrete inside since you already have block wall instead liner and another block wall inside, i just wonder what is the advantage? Thanks
We always use liner, the interior block was to make it more aesthetically pleasing than just bare liner.
Hey Friend Don’t Forget To add a UV Light for Algae CONTROL. Good Luck and God Bless.
Thanks for the tip
I WOULD HAVE THE 2 BOWLS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE SO YOU CAN SEE THE WATER FALLS.
Cool 👍
wheren't you afraid the pressure of the water will or would break the wall since it's only held by glue?
Good question. I have done this a few times before at my own home and a bit higher with no issues. I would not go taller than this feature using this method. Plus I used a LOT of glue 💪
I am in the phoenix area, and want something like this done. How much would a project like this cost materials plus labor?
13 to 15k
Would have been awesome to see it at night!
I want one! Cost? What would materials run on this? total gallons?
A lot of questions. This sounds like a phone call conversation. Pondscapes office 480-987-7781. I look forward to speaking with you.
💯🔥💙👍
🙌👍
You should never cut your lining till it’s filled with water , for anyone else that is considering this. That concrete will leach and play havoc on the ph of the pond till it’s moss and slime coated. It will be great eventually as it will raise the ph which tends to drop with koi.
Sounds like you have a lot of experience creating ponds. Thanks for sharing
Very nice one how much is cost that pond like 👍
Between 12k and 14k
@@pondscapesazyour kidding?
I’m in the wrong business
You didn't cement in the bricks? In time they're going to shift, move around, and that clean look is going to vanish. If going to go through the trouble, why not do a full sized pond with a looking glass side?
@@alexanderavgoulas4062 Long drive to me, lol. And I have a pond already. The cows love it. >.
Thanks for the input. 👍
doesn't get the pond destroyed in the winter because of the ice that wil form?
Doesn’t freeze here. 🥵
hi austin
Austin says hi!
You say the bricks were glued, what with, only it looks much better than mortar.
Construction glue. I would use mortar then.
what's the purpose of that pipe coming out the side at 3:55?
Water line that provides the water for the bowls.
Wouldnt the bricks leach chemicals into the pond?
Nothing toxic to be concerned with in these blocks.
How many gallons is that?
About 500 gallons
How much were the materials?
Great question. Then, around 5k. Now, closer to 100k 😂
How much is the cost of the install $$
Approx 15k
Gluing blocks instead of cement. Must be pretty powerful stuff but how long will it last 🤔 Still surprises me the effort & expense people go to though just for gold fish. Koi i get it. But gold fish that could just as happily live in a bowl 🤷♂️ And why on earth pay to heat the water.
🤷♂️
Cost?
Starting at 10k
What happens during earthquake?
That’s a good question 🙄
All he needed was the window!!!
And a bigger budget 😜
That pond would’ve been better if it had 2 fx6’s instead of those 407’s.
Ok, thanks 🤷♂️
Pool, tub, basin, aquarium, and water-butt are just a few words that is what you have, and "Pond" is not. Like Tyler Durden once said, "Sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken". Ponds are small bodies of water that are at ground level, that's like calling an above-ground swimming pool a "pond".
