The rock we used on this koi pond was called La Cresta. We purchased it at a local rock yard here in Southern California. We used a less expensive rock below water level you will see in the next Koi Pond Design video when we get it posted. Thanks for watching.

We are posting the second video as soon as we can showing the pond drained to get you up close and personal with a couple important Pond Design elements for koi.
The flagstone path over the koi pond was just finished a couple days ago. The final plantings won’t be finished until spring so a final glamor video won’t happen for several months. But we do have more good things to come. Stay tuned!

I’d love to see some video footage of your koi pond. Do you have a UV clarifier in your life support system design? A good UV filter will solve your greenish issue. Let me know if I can help.

I got one question though, i have a Savio full size skimmer filter which i will NEVER install again because it leaks no matter how you install it. but i also have two 57 watt UV- Inex. But i got a question… algae grows because of the sun, but the sun also release UV rays then UV’s stimulate the growth of algae? But anyways do you know were i can get a sleeve for one of my UV’s? But i can only find the quarts sleeve’s, were can i but a glass one?
Thanks, Arteom
Oh and one more thing. were can i find this “La Cresta” rock here in the Central Valley, CA
IS IT HARD TO MAKE A POND?
What was the total cost of that pond?
Sometimes we have our challenges making a pond but it’s only as hard as you make it. If you love what you do it’s really not hard.
This pond was 35k.
do you only build ponds or are you a landscape gardener?
Do u ever put in ponds in PA cause u do amazing ponds?

So, in winter time, … this particular pond is obviously in a region where freezing happens (judging by the existence of pine trees) so the pipes bust be blown just like a swimming pool, … yes?. And is a low level heater placed at the bottom to help with the precious lives of the koi? (could you comment on other “wintering” jobs that must be done in this case). Thanks.
