With a few drinks I think soCrazy You got to make them happyAngelic

Why don't you just dig on one side of your pond so you can place a window or two then later on if you don't want it anymore you can just place a liner and presto new pond extensionWinkTongue

I love your pond Jon! The pondquarium design is always really cool IMO. Was it difficult to get the glass set in the concrete? I've always wondered how they do that...

Hi Kid,

Thanks for the complementSmile

The glass went in last after the FG. The glass is 1/2in smaller than opening and set with silicon. I didn't set it in a the concrete blocks, just in case the wall move it will not crack the glass as silicon will act as cushion. Check out my pond buildCool

If you have any questions let me knowWink

Jon

Re: [Koi38] New Pond by Koi38 [In reply to] Can't Post

how deep is your pond?
do you think 3 feet deep is adequate enough to repel predators?
my pond is 3 feet deep.

JW Blue is some high class Scotch my friend. (been thinking about picking up a bottle ever since you brought it up) I just finished the new shelves, wine rack, goblet holders, for my wifes bar but it is suffering from scotch deprivation.

Hi Lilhelper,

My pond is 5ft deepCool

Your pond should be deep enough from predators as long as you don't have a shallow area where Heron or whatever it is can stand in your pond and grab your koiShocked

Hi Marshall,

Light came with a bracket, just have to modified it then made a small bracket silicon it on the wall and hooked the lightCool

Kois are actually at the bottom they appear not coz of the thickness of the glass, it tricks yahSmile

You live in the S.F. bay area don't you? Do you have many gulls? If so I would think they would be a bigger issue than anything else. (I havn't been there in years but I've spent a lot of time on the south central coast)
