I bought 2 Koi on accident thinking they were gold fish, and now I really want to build a koi pond in the back, a small one. No water fall. Just simple and not too deep unless its needed. How much do you think it would cast to get that done?
Wow thats expencive! I’ll go for the neighbor kids..lol

Would doing that be better than using chlorinated city water? I have koi in another smaller pond and will transfer them over along with all the water that is in that pond.

We have a medium sized koi pond in our backyard, and I cannot seem to figure out whether the water is leaking out somewhere or it’s just evaporating.

There are some times where it stays level for a couple weeks. Sometimes, like yesterday, it goes down really fast. It’s around 80 where I live.

Also, if it does evaporate, does it happen on dry days or humid days?

Would pouring water into the pond work, and what kind of water (possibly dechlorinated?) would it have to be?

Thanks!

Does anyone know where on the web I can find how to install a garden pond in a wooden framed box instead of digging a hole in the ground? I once saw how to do it on a TV show, but that was a few years ago and wasn’t in the market for a pond at the time.
Peter, did I ask what makes a great pond?

My grandmother has a hand built garden pond in her yard with several fish in it. It has turned green over time, I was wondering to make it easier on her if there were any way to make the water at least look cleaner without having to drain all the water? Thanks for your help!

I have a strip of garden in my yard running the length of my fence. I’d like to install a small pond, with fountain, there. Unfortunately it’s divided from the main span of yard, including the deck where the electrical outlet is, by a sidewalk. Is there any easy and safe way for a do-it-yourselfer to get the electrical cord over to that section of the yard, past the sidewalk? Keeping in mind I want to use the plug-in source of power, and not dig, bury, hardwire, etc. Easy, but safe, is the goal!

I have a small garden pond that has algae in it. How can I keep it clean with the least amount of chemical usage and cost? I have a few goldfish, plants and a waterfall to keep the water moving.

I am looking to make my small (1 metre sq) garden pond safe for children to be around.

Can anyone suggest how I can do this without having to fill the pond in?

Thanks

I put in a garden pond last year following the instructions on how to dig the hole, install the pond, etc etc.. When it was filled with water the sides caved in. Instead of a cute kidney shaped pond i have a small rectangular one. I am beginning my spring work outside and would like to have my garden pond to full capacity this year. How do i fix the cave in issue??

I returned home from walking my dog today to carnage in my otherwise peaceful garden pond. There were two “floating” birds, and one shivering while holding on to the pump’s electrical cord. Though obviously distraught, I was able to save the one who held on, however, had to bury his mates. That side, I’ve looked online, and aside from adding a rock and a water plant for any bathers to hold on to (and yes, from closing it down completely) what other suggestionos do you have? As a nature lover, I already feel terrible, so please no sarcasm. Serious answers only please! For now, the pond is drained and off. Before I open it up again for business, I want to do all that I can to avoid a repeat incident. Thank you kindly.
