The Huge KOI Pond Now Has Fish! (pt 3) 

If any one deserves a carp pond its you guys, i have watched all your videos the love and respect you guys have for them is out of this world and all the effort you guys did to make these videos made me fall in love with carp fishing aswel! You guys will forever be my favorite channel when it comes to carps 🙏🏼

Great progress on the pond Carl! Nice to see Matt come down give you a hand with the fibreglass! The Jedi off pond waterproofing 🪖

Amazing to see Charlie and her new friend in this massive pond! Cannot wait for you to stock the pond with more gorgeous koi!

You certainly went through an unforgettable experience during your pond build... We look forward to many happy years of watching you and your Koi Pond, as it develops, not to mention your worldwide travels in pursuit of knowledge and "the one that didn't get away"...!

love the update Carl. glad the leaks are finally sorted. I'm jealous of that Wisteria on the back of your house. The gardens going to look epic when all the trees and ferns mature 🙌🌱🌿

Incredible - watching your videos has inspired me to get properly into fishing again. My Grandad always took me as a kid but once I grew up I never got the opportunity to fish for carp with him. Watching your videos has made me buy my first proper carp set up & my journey has begun. I have started on small fisheries and caught my first few carp, I am excited and looking forward to catching more and bigger carp. Thanks Carl

Yess carl! The quality of your videos are so professional. Loved every minute of it, keep up the great work!

Great to see someone having a keen interest in a subject, persue a dream and having it come true, whilst being supported by friends and family alike. A great vid. Thank you.

I worked for a koi pond building company back in the 90's and we probably had one minor leaks every 5 ponds but never seen anything quite this bad ever. Definitely know who not to hire for a pond build 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

What you have built is absolutely beautiful. Here's to you getting years and years of pond enjoyment with no more problems. Or at least little ones. Take care and god bless you all. Also that fish they gave you is so unbelievable really really gorgeous. You deserve it.

Engineer of more years than I care to remember,specialising in underground tunnelling, WATER…. It always finds a way. This is an epic project, sincerely well done. It’s time to enjoy your fruits of your labour’s. Thanks for sharing.

Just found your channel. I'm so invested in this build! I can't wait to see the completion

Charlie has “darkened” up so much from when you bought her. Beautiful fish. I do like the darker Chagoi’s more to be honest but that personal opinion. Epic job mate!

It looks stunning Carl. I've watched the same guy fibreglass James the Koi Whisperer's pond. He looks the best in his trade; but surely the original installer should have given you a warranty? Also could you divert the trickle out to water the garden; pond water is so nutritious. Nice to see Alex's pizza oven remained; you could film a pond opening party; with Alex as head chef xxx

Matt from GRP Lining is a legend. I’ve lost count of how many fibreglassing videos I’ve seen of him working his magic. If if ever go the fibreglass route with my pond, he’ll be the man I call.

It does not matter how many leaks there was, what really matters is, you managed to get all the leaks sorted and now you can enjoy your Koi Carp and your Pond. Congratulations. Your garden is beautiful. Greetings from Glasgow. 👍😊❤️

Just what I needed after work today, This has made my Friday complete! Thanks Carl for sharing this journey with us all.

Very interesting video - I used to have a Chaghoi called Charlie ( named by my wife). I have kept koi since 1993 and there is always something that needs doing. Your pond seems great. Most of my wife's favourite fish were purchased by the dealer on a buying trip in the mid 1990's - still going strong. Can be an incredibly frustrating and rewarding hobby in equal measure Good luck with your pond and fish.

Loved the video Carl! 😃🏆

Fare play mate had some ups and downs but now the dream has come true I so remember that feeling respect and very good video

The pond and garden look absolutely beautiful! Well done!! I’m sure you’re really going to enjoy it!

That is one epic pond and garden, you must be so pleased with how it turned out. Well done.

Congrats for finally getting it finished and getting Charlie home. It's a bit disappointing you had so many issues despite hiring professionals to complete the build but atleast it's done now. Queni koi is a great place, was there picking up an nice kujaku earlier this week

Great video. Glad that ,after all the hassle, the pond is up and running and looks great.

Well done for getting to this stage, despite all those set backs - I would definitely have been tempted to fill the thing in after it kept on leaking!! The planting really sets it off, and really looking forward to seeing the additional fish go in.

Welcome home to the first two! You have a nice dark brown Chagoi, love the friendly round face of it!

So pleased for you Carl, at last ! ... all good things and all that ... Just one thing, were the pond builders not responsible for finding and repairing the leaks ?

You already look so at home in the filter house. What a complete outdoor space for you all (Omi and fish included). A shame you felt you had to give up on the lighting, but I know you'll find something else down the line to use for this. Thanks for sharing

"Ben, it's not going to leak, is it?" "Of course not." There were a few significant head-scratchers from those "specialists" over this series. Fantastic series, a fantastic pond, and many unforgettable memories and future ones to be had!

What a pond and garden this has turned out to be Carl! Not sure I would of been happy with the builders with all those leaks and having to sack the lighting off, but an amazing project none the less!

You certainly know how to tell a story Carl. Time to sit back and enjoy it after all the issues.

I wondered if you could give a shout-out for the balding reefer and his devastating news. Someone has set up a funding page to try and help.

Carl...I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. This is an absolutely fabulous pond build. So glad that you have been able to realize this dream.

Welcome home Charlie! That must feel good after all that time. The pond is incredible and garden looks amazing. Please try to make a small space for bee and butterfly friendly planting if you can tho, if we all do a little it helps a lot 👍

One of the best short series I have watched on RU-vid. Utterly fantastic pond and garden....I'm not jealous at all. Great job Carl.

Is Alex aware he had a RU-vid legend doing the fibre glass repair on his pond

this video scares the life out of me- much appreciated that every part (good and bad) is shared with us!

Congrats Carl on getting Charlie and friend into the pond 🥳🥳🥳 Surprised at the leaks in the pond but glad you got it all sorted out mate 👍👍👍

So happy to wake up and see this video after asking about it yesterday. It was all that I cold hope to see and more. And love a 24 hr live cam view of the pond to watch

Would love to visit this pond in person. Where are you located? ❤️

Your passion Is so refreshing to watch, I find my self smiling all the way through these videos! Amazing stuff mate

Super happy for you Carl, well done for sticking it out.

far out despite the hickups and other painful obstacles, the final finish looks epic as! you look in a lot of work in this project. great to see Charlie enjoying the new pond plus her new friend haha

The 2 fish liking each other at the end is just awesome ! :D

Its a mind blowing setup. I am so excited and happy with it. Even i am not involved. Everything is perfect and in harmony like you and your family. Good luck

Carl, excellent update, the garden has come together to look fantastic, long journey fixing the leaks but the pond looks amazing, loving the wood cladding. Would love to see a detailed breakdown of your filter set up now that its up and running.

Simply stunning now it’s all done and the landscaping really finishes it off. I know you had your fair share of teething problems but the stress and headaches must of just washed away when you saw the finished item and get to enjoy it. Looking forward to the next update.

Man i was waiting centuries for the third part, finally !!!! can't wait to see your new koi purchases in the coming videos, your new pond is incredible bro, your family is very supportive too

Good things come to those who wait Carl & I hope it was worth it and your now enjoying your new pond & koi. 👍🐟

What a mammoth undertaking building that pond, especially with all the setbacks....Congratulations Carl, the pond looks magnificent.

It's been a bit of a nightmare 😕 😞 but you're there now 👍👍👍 so time to enjoy 😀😀 well done looking forward to part 4 ... take care and stay safe

The pond is looking amazing 😍 cannot wait for part 4 👍

Your an inspiration mate. I love carp fishing. For that matter I love fishing altogether. Since I’ve had my 2 beautiful daughter’s I just haven’t had time to go but watching yours, Nash’s,Korda’s and all others carp fishing RU-vid carp fishing video’s keeps me interested in the sport. Since I’ve not been fishing I’ve really got interested in fish tanks, aquarium aquascaping. (Fish at home) and just dream of having a koi pond like yours. Give me a pm and I’ll show you my Aquascapes. I’m sure you’ll love them and want a living fish habitat in your home. Keep up the good work and keep inspiring us.

AMAZING pond & garden Carl ! Well done Like others, I have been looking forward to this video for a while. The main thing is, its all sorted now and you can enjoy it. Bring on the other Koi……. 😊 (…and another excellent job/rescue by Matt GRP 👍🏼)

Wow, I've been waiting for this update! Stunning looking pond and garden. Nice to have a dad helping you out together with Omi! That Mukashi Ogon looks wonderfull. Nice scaling and that subtle orange spot makes it a unique fish only you have! Charley also made a great transformation, as well in growth as in color, I love it. Today I've selected a nice light yellow Tosai Yamabuki Ogon. I will collect it in a few weeks. Hope to see the next video very soon! Very curious about the "giants" !

Hi carl wow looks epic mate. I was wondering when the 3rd chapter was going to happen. Incredible job in the end.. you must be really pleased and relieved. Looks awesome with the planting.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this third instalment. You and Omi have truly created a little piece of heaven. Well done guys. We can’t wait to see the final product 👍🏻🥰

so happy for you & omi, carl -- it's all just gorgeous!

What an amazing video so nice to see that you're completely of pond I can't wait to see it in the future 🐟

Very happy for you mate! I hope this will bring you years and years of joy! You deserve it.

Wow, what a feature! Looks like all the graft has massively paid off. Well done, extremely jealous 😂😂. I found myself smiling at the fish behaviour at the end. It must make you happy seeing that straight off.

Ohh hell yeah 😎. Congratulations 🎊 what a great outcome and very well done 👏 . Now sit back and enjoy

Thank you for sharing this amazing journey. The landscape is the cherry on top. Looking forward to the next installment.

Garden & pond look brill 👍enjoying the updates!

I admire your patience with all the leaks along the way. It sure looks great now. Congrats!

What an absolute oasis! Splendid indeed.

Very nicely explained! So entertaining please make more pond videos

I’ve been waiting for this video for ages Carl. Cannot wait to watch!

What a beautiful set up garden and pond few set backs but worth it just sit back and enjoy now couldn't wait for this vid can't wait for the next one 💯👍

Another great video. Maybe some led lighting on the underside of the Douglas fur capping could work.

Looks like a really awesome setup and thank you for sharing all this. Good luck with a pond you most likely will enjoy for many years to come.

brilliant Carl, your making me miss my koi pond, never mind keep up the brilliant filming, I think i'm getting a bit better at my filming, thank you for showing us your lovely koi pond and the journey through the build, very very good filming.

Looks brilliant. Well done.

Brilliant!! Looking forward to Part4 now! Keep up the good work.

I'm so excited and extremely proud of this pond! WOW! It's stunning truly!! Congratulations.

Wow what an amazing project. Fantastic. Beautifully done.

Superb Carl...the pond and the garden look fantastic !!!!

i love it how he has replied to all comments also can't wait for part 4

It all looks amazing. You must have been so frustrated with all the leaks but you can forget about that now and enjoy your lovely garden and fantastic pond. Useful Dad's are great aren't they. Lol. X

Shame about all the issues you’ve had! But it’s done and can’t wait for the finale instalment of the pond build!! Your pond is my dream!!!

Congratulations 👏🎊 I was gutted about leaking 😭 Glad quick fixed. Now enjoy new fish please continue with filming this pond, fish and garden ☺️👍

Looking forward to your next video already . Love the pond im only a year into the game so this is a big inspiration. Hope alls well now

Very happy for you after all these setbacks. Now that it is finished you can just enjoy en forget about all that. As somebody also mentioned: the quality of you videos is excellent. You might considder making some videos about the proces of filming and processing in the future. Your brother and you are pros for sure

Does this video do your garden justice! I bet it looks amazing in person!. Love the video glad it all worked out in the end!

This set of films made my Sunday morning complete! Superb content Carl, and I’m not sure if it just me but I actually got quite emotional seeing the first two fish being put into the pond. Top draw stuff mate!

It looks amazing Carl. The glass front takes it to another level. Wish we thought of that when we built my friend's pond

Fantastic pond and beautifully planned/planted garden (well done Dad!). Even before it’s fully stocked, this couldn’t have been a cheap project!

As a cheap fix on the lighting situation you can buy LED strip lights quite cheap and in any length you need, and to make them water proof personally I would cover all of the strip that is under water in hot glue which would also be quite cheap, I did this for my brother because he also had leaking problems and his pond turned out so good. Hope that’s helpful. Beautiful pond and fish regardless

Congratulations, Carl, I hope you enjoy what looks to be a successful project. In the world of construction, my mentor taught me "It's not a problem until you can't fix it." Every project is going to have hiccups, but it looks like you hired capable craftsman to rectify the issues. This was a great video series. As always, excellent production quality. Would be cool if you did other projects in the same vein. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

Wow well done Carl, that looks absolutely stunning… the pond and the garden

Carl thats looks excellent, It finally all come together and you got Charlie home. Keep up the good work. 👊

I'm so looking forward to seeing the big carp but in all I'm loving the hole thing your garden with the pond is looking awesome Carl

Yes , yes progress is made in slow steps . Congratulations to you and see it all come together is amazing 🤩.

Looks incredible! Glad you’re passed all the leaks, been great to watch the journey
