Oh, my. I would recommend you slow down a bit and figure some stuff out before you keep digging. You've got waaaaay too many questions to be digging a hole. Some pre-planning will save you from a lot of mistakes and regrets down the road. But maybe that's just me!

I have the shape already dig in the ground, I want some koi's and gold fish.
I just need to know what gear should I buy I know all the steps that need to be done and I have people who built some to help me.
I will use a PVC 0.8 millimeter and under that ill use a underlay who will protect the PVC.
I just need help with the gear please,and how much liters I have in the pond. :)

If you want lots of koi eventually then you will need to go way bigger. How many do you want to end up with?
Could be anywhere from 5000 to 10,000 or more gallons depending on how many. I hope you are young and strong and good w/ a shovel
