Hi
First time poster. I had a pond built last fall. I'm in NY so it got cold quickly when it was completed. It had 12 Koi in it. Had a very cold and snow filled winter. Still not warmed up here yet. I'm getting pretty nervous about my pond. Problem is everyone I talk to or read about has a different view on the set up I have. Some hate the aquascape system and say it will fail and become a nightmare where others say I have a large bog and should have no problem. I have a large 6000 GPH pump at one end of the pond inside a large vault covered in a ton of gravel. It pumps up to the bio fall at the other end. There is some filter media and lava rock in bio fall. Not sure how much of either since I have not taken it apart yet. There is no mechanical filter. Of course I was assured this was all I need in this pond since everything would work out biologically. Some have said this is going to be a big problem others say it will work fine. Anyone have a system like this? I cant find any actual reviews about this set up.
Thanks
