The other great thing about pond inside during the winter months, at least in Illinois, is that I have not had to run my humidifier since the pond/pool has been running! I usually have a humidifier running beginning of December, as I hate to get shocked all the time, but no static electricity build up, yet anyhow.

KoiGuy, do you ever put a net on your inside pond? If so, do you take it off after the fish settle down into their new environment? I have a net on my pool, as I had 3 jumpers (one jumped out twice) in the first 24 hours, but have had no problems since. Do you think it would be safe to remove the netting now? I would be able to have more interaction with the fish if the netting was removed, but I would leave it up if the fish are likely to continue to jump. It was amazing, as when I found the jumpers out of the water, I was sure they were dead. One was probably 85-90% dry, and yet when I put it back into the water, holding it in my hands, it came right back to life. Those are some really hardy fish!
