Hi everyone! my name is Katie im from Ma ( i see there are a few others from ma too) im about 45 minutes from Boston. I have 2 ponds and 1 on the way. the first pond my dad and I made its about 4ft deep and about 3,000 gal with a waterfall with large goldfish and koi. My 2nd pond is a pre-formed pond I did myself, which i left above the ground and made a rock wall around it, my 3rd pond is in the works
here are some pictures from when we were making the pond I have updated pictures which are much better i will post as soon as i can get them on my computer http://www.littlebea...com/thepond.htm

Welcome Katie!
Your dad did a fine job with this pond! I didn't see your preformed pond in the photo, did I miss it?

We will be anxious to see them.

I have one that I'm thinking about integrating into my 2 pond system now. It would be a flow through pond that would allow me to keep the smaller Koi that are available for adoption.

When people come by to get Koi, it is too hard to catch them from the other ponds. As they grow, they will be too much for the tanks so I have to come up with an interim solution.
