    @fushadragon Hi thanks for checking out the videos. The lights I used in this pond are submersible pond lights very similar to landscape lighting but rated for underwater use.

    @123FIREball200 Yes cichlids are awesome, but koi are pretty amazing too. I am a fish guy though so I even think guppies are pretty cool! thanks for checking out the videos. Visit me on Facebook on the Pond Hunter page. cya

    @galendulac Hi thanks for checking out the videos! I did try not to show the exterior because the concrete block was plain ugly. The customer had a customized finish put onto the concrete block by a masonry artist that came in after we had finished our phase of the project, but there are many ways to cover and beautify the concrete block by using stone veneer, paneling, painting, etc. visit me on Facebook on the Pond Hunter page! thanks again.

    All of the shots seem to take great pains not to show the outside. What do you use to conceal the cinderblocks and make the outer wall look nice and natural?

    koi suck cichlids all the way

    I have a question.. would a glass stick into a tile if i use silicone? because I’ll be putting a viewing window in my pond.. thanks.. :)

  11. gianolrac September 6 2010 @ 6:53 am

    @thePondHunter thanks.. i already liked your page on facebook.. :) i thought it wouldn’t stick in to the cement if i will just use a silicone.. thanks for the info.. i would just put pressure into it.. :)

  12. thePondHunter September 6 2010 @ 7:52 am

    @gianolrac Hi and thanks for checking out the Pond Hunter videos. You would most likely use a silicone sealant and pressurized fitting to connect the glass. Visit me on Facebook at The Pond Hunter page!

    hi.. do you have an idea on how to seal a glass on a cement? i mean.. what sealant should i use.. im building a pond and that’s my only problem.. thanks.. :)

  14. fushadragon September 6 2010 @ 8:52 am

    Coool i want a pond but the only place i could put one is in the basement, oh how did you do the lights?

  15. thePondHunter September 6 2010 @ 9:04 am

    @fowlerleftfoot Hi Fowler! thanks, see you around!!

  16. thePondHunter September 6 2010 @ 9:24 am

    @djvdwolf Nobody is actually opening or closing the door. It appears that way but really it is just a light that is turning on/off, making it look like the door is disappearing!

  17. fowlerleftfoot September 6 2010 @ 9:51 am

    amazing….

  18. djvdwolf September 6 2010 @ 10:04 am

    lol at 2:20 the door is closed and at 2:24 it’s open with somebody doing it

    @drychalice We did not use aquatic plants for this project because it is indoors, but we decorated the exterior with tropical house plants which made it look great. Visit Pond Hunter on Facebook! and thanks for watching the PH videos and commenting.

  20. drychalice September 6 2010 @ 11:06 am

    No plants ????

  21. thePondHunter September 6 2010 @ 11:42 am

    @austinwall1 Thanks for commenting Austin, glad you like this project. It is actually not too expensive and probably about the same as setting up a large aquarium…but ponds are more fun! Thanks for watching and hope to hear form you again.

    looks expensive, but i like it! great job on the pondscaping or aquascaping, whatever you want to call it.

    @justinsn95 Good advice Justin, using a water conditioner is a given when filling or changing pond/aquarium water. Thanks for the comment.

  24. justinsn95 September 6 2010 @ 12:57 pm

    Chlorine WILL kill fish, people. You MUST dechlorinate your water first with the proper chemical or your fish will die. This goes for every time you add water as well. Tetra sells the stuff at wal mart, just read on the bottle for how much dechlorinator you need, for the amount of water that you have.

    Like the indoor pond. It’s something different & unique. How about plants. Is it possible to systane them in an indoor environment? The natural lighting looks decent in this case but what about generally? Thanks.
