need advice on new pond Can't Post
O.K. first I am building a pleasure pond no chance of keeping show koi just trying to build a good home ,for nice koi
main body of pond is set at 7x13x4 1/2 deep the rest of the pond is another 10x11x2' for a total of around 4300 gallon 4700 w/filter system

Filtration
B.D. in each section to a 100 gallon sediment tank w/3000 GPH pump pumping to 300 gallon skippy Bio filter

skimmer with basket and brushes and a 2500 GPH feeding back into pond

is this enough filtration to keep the pond clean and safe for the koi (remeber) not growing koi for shows just personal pleasure or do I need another bio filter after skimmer

and 2 airstones for more oxygen

hi there..

since its for 'fun koi keeping' i wud suggest u to use UV light coz ur water have high chance to turn green and this might turn u off.. anyway, wat sort of bio filter are u talking abt? even not for show koi u still have to make good water for ur koi to live healthy....
