That is a beautiful pond that you built! The problem you might have, it is a new pond, a lot of fish have been put into the pond.
As the Koi grow they will overtake the ability of the pond to handle them. Unfortunately they will start dying.

I agree with Addy1 - koi will quickly outgrow this pond and it will lead to health problems and possible deaths. Stick with smaller fish that will do better with the size pond you have. If your measurements are correct, you have less that 675 gallons.
