Hello everyone. Yes, I’m a newbie. I saw this thread and thought it would be a good opportunity to share some images of what my pond looks like. It’s kidney shaped and approx. 20’x13’. We have about 1/3 of an acre lot. The main stream extends from the farthest point of our backyard. It basically divides the yard. About halfway the main stream pours into a small pool where it splits off into two streams. One stream is faster flowing than the other. Moving from Charlottesville, VA to Oregon four years ago we purchased our home with an existing koi pond. I had no experience with koi ponds. I just added a Laguna ClearFlo 4000 UVC filter kit (purchased from Webbs Water Gardens). It’s made a big difference in the water quality of our pond. We are still learning so any suggestions are always welcome. Here a few photos from yesterday and today.

Hopefully I posted my images correctly. Please lmk if not.

That is one great looking pond and love the way the stream just wonders all over rather than straight it looks like a flood happened and the stream came from it .
