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!
@ThePondAdvisor
5 жыл бұрын
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.
Do you have any questions on how we built this pond or do you need any help re building a fish pond?

What does the wet lands filter Do?. Is it the same as and normal filter or no?
@ThePondAdvisor
5 жыл бұрын
They (the gravel and pebbles, that the water percolate up through) provide lots of surface area for biological activity. Wetland filters are large gravel filters, much more natural easier to hide. But yes the do the same job as others biological filters, they are custom made and often hold more waste. We do not need any form of chemical filtration (no Uv filters). The main reason I put the wetland on this pond was the amount of koi carp (Koi Fish).

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.

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.
