Well I'll be! There I go again pushing past the minimum Koi pond requirements! Bill is absolutely correct, as usual! I decided bigger was better. This has been a work in progress and now I remember the decision to go 40 watts instead of 25.
I will edit the photograph...........
BTW, we finished installing the skimmer circuit today and will finish up the Aerated Back Flushable Waterfall Filter installation tomorrow. Crossing fingers I'll have my Shiros by the weekend!
I can see the eyes rolling now (
) because I'll be cycling this feature with my Shiros but I'm a huge proponent of Bottled Bugs, especially under these conditions!
Besides, 3000 gallons of pond water for 3 to 5 tosai in the dead of winter, little to no food, regular testing and frequent water changes we should be GOLDEN. On the other hand, I have several,
not so traditional, ponds to fall back on if needed! JUST KIDDING.....
I'm gonna follow (most) everyone's strict rules around here and am sure to be a better man because of it!
More pictures to follow soon, stay tuned.

P.S. I love Cletus!
