My Pond Bar

[pecan]

That is a great idea! You are vrey creative coming up with that. I really like the bar/pond idea. Good job! As Koiguy said, lights and maybe a glass inlay would be awesome!

How many gallons is it?

What a great idea and an incredible job. Cocktails and Koi = a great night.

67 gallon pond, plus about 15 gallons in the bio filter

Wow, looks great! That's some very neat handiwork! You'll have to be careful you don't knock a beer into it, I don't know if the koi would like it

Wow, your Koi Pond Bar looks great and with the filter set up, gives a new meaning to "I'll have mine on the rocks"!

This would make a good How-To article for others to learn from, and you've already got the photos to outline the step by step stuff.

gonna have to stick with goldfish in that pond.. a nice rope light on the inside lip of the bar top would likely be enough lighting to illuminate the pond. and cost almost nothing to run even 24 / 7. ...have fun with it! i would put a glass inlay over the pond area tho.

im doing underwater LED's they are expensive and I am in this thing a lot already.

My retarded fish keep jumping out. Had to build this stupid thing.

blue towels underneath until i get little rubber feet.

I hate it, but my fish are stupid. Maybe they will get used to the new pond and do better once I have plants in there.

It's not uncommon for koi to jump out of new surroundings so they are not stupid, just exploring. I would keep a lid on it tho cuz they can choose to jump whenever they get the urge!

Fish Eating

 

[j.w]

I really like that! You have some pretty fish in there..............looks like some Butterfly koi in the bunch. You did a very nice job on the whole thing and your dinner looks yummy too!

 

[Sunshine]

Love it !!! Now you can make a little extra spending money making more for other people. You do very nice work.

Thanks guys. I am still working out the kinks. Waiting on the Local pond place to get some plants in.
