Hi All,

I am new to the forum and about to embark on an epic new pond from scratch, I want to make sure I have all my bases covered before I start so it would be great if everyone could help me out as much as possible.

I'm hoping for it to be a large Koi pond eventually so I will be posting in relation to the fish a bit, anyone that has a Koi pond, please let me know any tips you have.

I look forward to chatting.

Lots of space and over aerating and over filtering your pond .I have koi around 11 years old and they are over 2 feet long .I wish some one had told me how big they get .I never gave them any growth food and only feed them 3 or 4 times a week to keep water quality good .Started with a preformed then after front porch was done I built the 1000 gallon and then the 2500 gallon and then the 5000 gallon .They also do better with a deeper pond .I have 2 filters and no skimmer .

If its koi you know you want then build as big as you possibly can right away and avoid the irritation of doing it later.
