How to Install a Koi Fish Tunnel & set Rock as Walls in your Pond

Thanks for the push Arteolike! Believe me we are pushing forward on video. We just finished moving my Videographer into his new home. We painted, roofed, waited for internet, carpet, fixed broken tiles, installed sky lights and more.

Good news is have been shooting video in between all these other tasks as time allotted. Editing is the hold up as my good friend prepares his studio. We should have more tips and tricks posted here in Sept.

Koi Pond Design Video Coming Soon!

where you get teh rocks

The stone and boulders we use come from our local rock quarry. This stone (in our area) is typically 65 dollars a ton up to 120 dollars a ton depending on where you buy it and how much you buy.

ROCK ON!

you should have your own show!! you give great tips.. very informative … I’m gonna build my pond soon and i came across your videos and now im sure i can do it my self

On ponds gone wrong you mentioned the rocks were $50.00-$100.00 Per ton, Have they got more expensive? Other thing i wanted to mention, how long does the editing take? i have waited long for the other video’s, or is their a-lot of work going on right now?

Well it’s now October, not September? Oh well i can wait. but i hope you post a installation of a bottom drain soon.

Ture! But just think of it maybe some one dint know how to build a pond and wanted to hire a pro, Now these videoed are so informative people feel like one them self’s! Excellent, Excellent videos i must agree!

Thanks for the feedback vitof250! We aim to educate, inform and inspire. I’m glad to hear you are ready to tackle the project yourself because of our videos. It means we are accomplishing our goal!

Stay tuned for more informative pond videos!

Rock On,

LOL! I would think its a little annoying from your stand point! Oh well so much i have learned! And you can bet you have achieved your goal to educate it’s beyond that! Well i still dint restive my bacteria sample, so i am still anxiously waiting, i will most likely buy your brand for my regular maintenance for my 1,800 Gallon pond. Just one question, on your website it says a 16 oz . dry bacteria treats a 2,000 Gallon Pond for 12 Months? Is that when it applied weekly, like recommended?

How much water do koi need? Is 450 gallons enough?

i would just hire u.

Looking forward to seeing your pond on video.

We don’t have a bottom drain installation video on the board at this time. We do have a couple cool videos on the editing table. We will shoot a BD video at our soonest opportunity. The jobs we have on the board are often the focus of our videos as I’m sure you have figured out. At this time we have several Eco-System Ponds on the board that do not have bottom drains in the plans. Hang Tight.

Keep in mind koi get 24 to 30 inches in length. A conservative rule of thumb when raising koi is one fish per 250 gallons of water. Serious koi keepers will house one koi per 500 or even 1000 gallons of water! 450 gallons is a bit small for koi considering how big they grow. You could certainly raise baby koi for a year or so before needing a larger set up. Koi actually grow very quickly and can out grow your 450 gallons in only 12 months. Happy Pondering.

We’re ready when you’re ready! Let’s Rock!

Ok keep it rocking and rolling, ThePondDigger ROCKS!

10+stars for badass awesomeness video on koi pond setup. I would never of thought of using foam to secure the rocks/boulders. Subscribing to your videos for tips on my future koi pond build.

Thanks for the sub and the great feedback. We’re here to educate, inform and INSPIRE!

is it just expandable foam your using? if so couldnt that pollute toxins into the water. just curious

it seems like the water would de-grade that foam over time, does it?

have you guys thought about adding some jazzy outro music to you videos?

Hahahaha!! I see the low cost and how to move large rocks with ease is to hire Mexicans

When I win the lottery I’m gonna bring you guys to Virginia!!!

i want to make this typs of fish tunnel,it is really good how many tun rocks are used for this work it is so good plan thank you so much
