Read some of the construction threads, post any questions you have in your own construction thread. Let everyone know what size, how deep, what kind of fish...........

Hi William, Welcome to the forum. Probably one of the first things you will need to decide is if you prefer to build a watergarden with a lot of plants and fish, or if you prefer a more traditional koi pond. If you want to keep koi then you should plan on building a pond larger than 1000 gallons and it will be harder to keep plants in it because koi will eat them.
