Great simple pond with nice fish and a garden. Just goes to show that it can be done without having to be a scientist. I like the fact that the owner just feed 4 hand fulls of food a day..great answer.
@@TimWaddington Hi Tim I love the fact you do all different types of ponds. With different out lays money wise. Which is a massive thing for most people building there own ponds start to finish.
Excellent simplistic pond design! which aside from filter upgrade, stands up to modern builds and the test of time. Seeing this video now does not make me feel so pressured into making sure my build has all the bells and whistles. Especially when you see the quality of the fish, and more so your thoughts Tim. 2000 gallons, interested to know how deep the pond was? More of these type of videos Tim (Simple and easy) Thank you.
Evening Tim, love the neatness of this Pond looks nice fish are amazing, water quality speaks for its self, can appreciate the brick work too.thanks for sharing takecare Koi wizard :)
Great video Tim . Just shows you what can be done on a lower budget with a bit of skill and time.i have never spent more than £50 on a fish . I am happy with what I have the fish will never win a award but I am happy that I keep them in the best possible conditions. Cheers cp
Refreshing to see a simpler pond on here. Very similar to mine (shape, filtration etc) albeit I have a skimmer going to an EazyPod. Love it... well done 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice one Tim 👍 That's my kind of set up, I have a Homebrew Filter as there where no Nexus about when i took an interest in the Pond life over 20 years ago, wouldn't mind giving it all a good revamp though,
Simple no frills n standing up to the test of time just like me then 🤣 just bought a 220 fills me with lots of confidence for my ten koi seeing this vid 👍
Just what I like nice and simple 👍. Keep the pond visits coming mate love them. A quick question if I can mate do you have any tosai goshiki available?
I prefer Nexus. I have no issues with drums but I have always used Nexus, we install some drums and have posted a few we have done. However Nexus are no hassle which for a dealer is very important. You have to remember that 95% of my clients are not prepared to pay that much either.
Hi Tim, Thank you for showing this excellent pond. I was thinking of going down the same road and plan to upgrade my 20 year old pond and build a new pond with no bells or whistles! The garden space I have will only allow a 1500 gallon pond ( got to keep the wife happy) and will be square block build with a bottom drain using a gravity fed set up. I hope you don’t mind but can you answer a few questions! Can I get away using an easy pod or would you suggest I use a Nexus 220? Also I am confused with the pump! Can one pump on the outlet ( return to pond) also remove the waste or do you need two pumps? All the best mate.
I was going to ask the exact same question Darren. I have a nexus 220 gravity fed with that same pump on the nexus return that feeds two underwater returns to pond. I just use the blue waste valve at the bottom of nexus to drain away the muck when cleaning, i like the idea of being able to pump it out though !!
If I used your heating units , how much would it cost approx to heat a 2400 gallon pond ? I’ve tried to work it out as you said in one of your videos the input was 1.3 kw , but my brain isn’t working haha Also would you consider doing a pros and cons ( if any apart from cost ) video on here ? Kind regards Carolyn
Hi Tim lovely pond and a very tidy garden question i have a similar sized pond but not much filter space would an eazi pod work on 2000 gallons ? Love the vids keep them coming if I remain on furlough I may pop up to see you but a bit of a drive from Southampton so will call first to make sure your there !!
Great video 👍🏻I think you’ve convinced me on the nexus and the fact tff bff at your dealership is full of them you obviously prefer them over drums ? Witch is a change from hearing people bang on about drums
Hi, we have subscribed to your TH-cam channel, we have spent the last few days watching them back to back lol.we are looking to set up a pond approx 2400 gallons and approx 12 koi We would really like to buy our fish from you but we are in Scotland, also would you recommend a Nexus 220 or could we get away with an Easy pod as it’s more within our room and budget ? Many thanks ,look forward to hearing from you. Regards Carolyn
Lovely pond and garden 👍 I will be coming to see you soon as I am looking to overhaul my pond and need some advice on filter uv pump etc. Basically the whole lot needs changing
hi im doing my own pond its about 2000 gallon pond gravity fed im after a pump for in it a external pump as its my first pond i dont have a lot of money so not wanting a good cheat pump if there such as one please help
For what it's worth, a year after your comment, koi will only damage any fully immersed plants. You seldom see koi ponds with nice margins, full of plants such as iris, canna, sedge etc. Even deep water lotus and floating frogbit can be kept with koi. There's many plants you can keep, and improve the looks and more importantly the water quality for your pond. Why the koi community turn their backs on these I'll never know. I consistently get readings of 0 nitrate on an arguably overstocked pond through use of plants and a nice deep gravel/grit bed. Not to mention gin clear water. This is stuff all seasoned tropical fish hobbyists know and use.
As a “simple pond”, I bet it’s nicer than 95 percent of backyard ponds. It’s a nice piece
I like that one. Be nice to see more of the simpler everyday pond. Very nice. 👍🏼
Great to see a simple, well engineered pond without all the baking sowers an returns that seem to be on everyone’s pond these days. Simply beautiful.
Straight and simple lovely pond and great koi
Nice aquarium 👍🏿

Yep! Perfect 👍🏻

Like the the simple, compact and uncomplicated model of this set-up
Lovely pond, and I agree Tim, couple of cans after work and watch the koi for an hour, perfect 👌
Beautifully simple does exactly what it needs to, effortlessly.
Love how this pond just looks so perfect in this garden👍
Lovely pond and lovely garden. 👍
So simple, lovely pond and garden
Very nice pond and fish. Good work.
Very nice! Great job John!

2000 gallons, interested to know how deep the pond was?
More of these type of videos Tim (Simple and easy) Thank you.
Lovely pond and garden, very nicely done!

Nice and simple that’s how it should be great video I wondered how he has fixed those huge posts on the pond wall.
Simple no frills n standing up to the test of time just like me then 🤣 just bought a 220 fills me with lots of confidence for my ten koi seeing this vid 👍
Simple love it
Nice! Would LOVE if I had a bottom drain and more hidden filtration.
Piss take aside, what a lovely little pond
Just what I like nice and simple 👍. Keep the pond visits coming mate love them. A quick question if I can mate do you have any tosai goshiki available?
tim can i ask a question, why do you use nexus filters and not drum filters, are drums not best
I prefer Nexus. I have no issues with drums but I have always used Nexus, we install some drums and have posted a few we have done. However Nexus are no hassle which for a dealer is very important. You have to remember that 95% of my clients are not prepared to pay that much either.
What’s the maximum gallon pond you reckon a 220 could cope with in this type of configuration Tim?
I would say they work best up to 3000 gallons but I’ve seen them work well on bigger

No skimmer? How does he deal with the protein layer that often forms on the waters surface?
He doesn’t deal with anything, many ponds don’t have skimmers.
come home from work, feed fish and have a drink.....PERFECT
Me again sorry , would a 320 nexus be better for a 2400 gallon pool or 220 be enough ? Many thanks
Carolyn Lowe if you have space for a 320 then great but a 220 would be ample
Quality Nishikigoi great , many thanks for your quick reply x
Hi Tim lovely pond and a very tidy garden question i have a similar sized pond but not much filter space would an eazi pod work on 2000 gallons ?
Love the vids keep them coming if I remain on furlough I may pop up to see you but a bit of a drive from Southampton so will call first to make sure your there !!
I wouldn’t advise a pod for 2000 gallons mate. Yeah would be good to meet!
Quality Nishikigoi thanks Tim for the advice I’ll be in touch in the next week or so Matt
Brushes are the future, I read it somewhere, someone said it was EPIC?
Really nice pond that, out of interest how much does it cost rough price to build something like that.
Great video 👍🏻I think you’ve convinced me on the nexus and the fact tff bff at your dealership is full of them you obviously prefer them over drums ? Witch is a change from hearing people bang on about drums
They are just hassle free Matt.
How many koi can it comfortably hold?
👍👍
Koi Koi!!!
Hi, we have subscribed to your TH-cam channel, we have spent the last few days watching them back to back lol.we are looking to set up a pond approx 2400 gallons and approx 12 koi
We would really like to buy our fish from you but we are in Scotland, also would you recommend a Nexus 220 or could we get away with an Easy pod as it’s more within our room and budget ? Many thanks ,look forward to hearing from you.
Regards Carolyn
A 220 would be best, by far.
Quality Nishikigoi thank you , are you open to public what with COVID ? We would love to come down and visit x
Yes we are! Let us know when you plan to come 👍
Quality Nishikigoi great thank you so much x
Dam im only just starting to build my pond and havent thought about any of this.... how much would this cost?
I don’t mate, I only know the equipment
@@TimWaddington sorry my bad, thats what i meant.. as in how much would the equipment cost?
Think I might have to copy that set up
Lovely pond and garden 👍 I will be coming to see you soon as I am looking to overhaul my pond and need some advice on filter uv pump etc. Basically the whole lot needs changing
Let me know and we will have kettle on
hi im doing my own pond its about 2000 gallon pond gravity fed im after a pump for in it a external pump as its my first pond i dont have a lot of money so not wanting a good cheat pump if there such as one please help
The Varipumps from EA are good 👍🏻
@@TimWaddington could you add vise me which one i would need to get please
How much a for a pond build quote?
Nothing usually mate. It’s just we are booked up for a while to get anything started, it’s gone crazy. Got your email btw 👍
Quality Nishikigoi cheers mate, okay no problem!👍🏻
I want one 😭
Why does no Koi ponds have plants
Paul Giles
Koi will try and destroy them
For what it's worth, a year after your comment, koi will only damage any fully immersed plants. You seldom see koi ponds with nice margins, full of plants such as iris, canna, sedge etc. Even deep water lotus and floating frogbit can be kept with koi.
There's many plants you can keep, and improve the looks and more importantly the water quality for your pond. Why the koi community turn their backs on these I'll never know.

This is stuff all seasoned tropical fish hobbyists know and use.
Hi I've watched your video & I'm interested in knowing more about koi ponds & want one in my garden pls get in contact
Pete
Can you please show a pond thats not an advert for EA, every video is the same, "nexus 220", "cleans it twice a week, every 3 days"
I’m sure there are other channels that have other systems. Have a search 👍
Think films the nexus because he knows it works and proves it time and time again
