@tekka84, It is actually just pea gravel, sand works but I have found that anytime you need to move a plant then it just clouds up the water for a day or so…
This set up is now going to be the set up I use once I move into a house. It looks so simple and best part of not having to build into the ground and risk hitting pipes you never knew about. I am glad you posted this online.
May I please have a list of the building materials that you used, and how much did you spend on making the entire pond. Looks great, im deffenitly going to try and replicate your design.

Hey i just wanted to let you know you created more than just a pond!
You also made an aquaponic setup by accident!
Add some *redworms* into the gravel, and you will never have to clean the gravel :] They will eat the fish poop and make it even better fertilizer for the plants.
As for the plants, grow anything you’d like! Tomatoes would grow great in that XD (aslong as the water has enough oxygen, and you lower the water level in the “filter” a bit)
Very nice and minimalistic! :]
You know what would of been so cool if you had a 3/4 glass in the front so you can see whats going on the pond..
hey just wondering how u got the pcv piping to go up through the bottom?
A well looked after koi soon grows, that means this pond is too small for koi. But its a great pond for goldfish.
@jlndb. yeah that would work
Oh, 1 more question. Is the pre-drill 1/4 for the 5/16 spike?
@MegaPlanelover, the water is only 50 degrees… they more active in the summer months when the water is 70-75degrees

@Sapphiretri, thanks if you have any questions I would be glad to help…
@jlndb , The corners have held up very well, every corner of every layer of wood has a 8″ x 5/16″ spike as well as gorilla glue.
I just wondering how does the corner hold up?

@bobosthenewdude, I used a 4′ x 8′ 3/4″ plywood, you could go thinner since basically all it is used for was makeing the pond square…..
what did you use for the lower pond’s base?
@bobosthenewdude, i just ripped a peice of 3/4″ exterior plywwod.
