    THIS IS WHAT A KOI POND SHOULD LOOK LIKE-- MOST OTHER PONDS ALTHOUGH NICE ARE JUST BIG HOLDING PONDS (JUST LIKE MOST SUPPLIERS KEEP THERE FISH FOR SALE IN.) YOUR WHOLE SETUP IS JUST GREAT, FILTERS WHOLE SYSTEM JUST BEAUTIFUL MANY THANKS FOR SHARING 👍

    I've watched a lot of koi pond videos in the last few days. I intend to build one when I buy a house soon. But this is one of the better videos on CZcams. Some people spend a whole video showing how they build it, and then barely show their pond at the ending. Seeing your finished product, combined with videos on how to build them, gives me a good idea of what I'd like to do. This pond is practical for houses in my area and it's still huge. I'm going to make it 7ft deep in most parts, going as shallow as 2ft deep in the feeding area. Hopefully I'll have enough real-estate for 10,000 gallons.

    This is by far the best Pond Setup I have ever seen.
    And believe me I watch a lot of Pond videos.
    I love the entire system.
    Very well thought out and built.
    You have artistacaly put it all together in such a very neat and tidy way.
    It is not often that Somebody would say a Pond looks polished, but this One is Polished.
    Awesome Job Sir and congratulations. 😊👍

Not nearly as deep, but approximately 10'x14' with 18" raised planting bed surround. I lost all 20 fish this month from a pesticide kill from neighboring yard...My largest koi was 24 years old at 31 inches. A brutal loss...
