How I Built A 4 000 Gallon Koi Pond Diy Fishpond Project 4 Been running for almost 4 months now and the fish are doing great. about the photo below, they say: "in a few years these baby water cows will be full on meat torpedoes." now, here are the first. I had a koi pond in texas. one day i came home to find a dead fish floating in the middle of the pond. i walked over to check it out and spooked the vultures waiting in the trees which spooked me. i got it out of the pond and put it in the yard. within a few minutes the vultures were on it for a nice dinner.
How I Built A 4 000 Gallon Koi Pond вђ Artofit Step 10. now that all of the legwork has been taken out of the project, you can start to add the finishing touches. plant around the pond to create a more natural setting. plants and fish can be added after a few days once the water temperatures have warmed up. along with the fish, you should add aeration. Let the water run for a few days and acclimate the plants. then add the fish. when you put in the fish (they usually are purchased in a clear plastic bag, just how you use to win fish at the carnival) place the bag in the water and allow it to float for a few minutes this will cool warm the water in the bag. Unfold the epdm liner and fit it to match the shape of the pond. extend the liner onto the banks for a minimum one foot distance. install the underlayment first, followed by the pond liner. fold the corners inward and leave at least 12 inches over the side walls of the pond to secure it with a cap board or stone. It’d be nice to see how people are using backyard ‘micro’ ponds for raising fish to eat. along with things like water chestnuts, cat tails and other edible aquatic plants.
