Shalom, I live in Woodstock, Georgai and hae been poninding for seveal years. I have a pond approz 650G with way tooomany Koi - 6 ranging from one 10 ", 4 between 18- 20"and one 24" or so. there are also 4 little guys that have appeared and been in the pond 2 years. In additon we have a small reformed approx 35G thats is actually a modified skippy filter serving an other preformed of about 85G(?) with 2 small Koi. I use a lot of land plants, impatiens, hosta, marigiolds, etc. in batting and gravel and have just completed adding a waterwheel feature to the system.
Always looking for ideas of things to do for ease of maintenance of the ponds. probably will build a "pump house" as the last item for the pond and house the pumps or pumps and a filter.
I did not install a bottom drain, so now I'm paying the piper and have been using this summer a dirty water pump to flush the toilet periodically and and have a pump in the skimmer for normal circultion - so I need to decide if I'll keep the toilet flushing pump or install a retro bottom drain and replace the skimmer pump accordingly
