new pond underway.

[neil999]

Hello all,
I am after a bit of advice please.

I have built a bricked built raised pond ( 3m x 4m x 1.5m deep ) and I was thinking about adding a bottom drain which would be connected to a soak away in the garden. thoughts..???

...and then, does anyone have any ideas as to the best type of filter to go for, as I need a biggie to maintain about 18000litres of water with Koi in it...??

Pressured or gravity back into the pond..?

thanking you all in advance.
Neil.

That is around 4700 gallons in size. You could keep a few koi in that size of pond with good filtration, koi do get huge over time.
No help with filtration, I just use a big bog for my pond of goldfish. I hear mixed reviews about pressure filters, good and bad.
