| koi pond
Dear jackass
Going off your dimensions your pond will be about 1600 gallons which i am afraid in my mind is not big enough to keep koi properly,i think koi need at least 3000 gallons and a depth more like six foot.
A size of 12 foot X 8 foot X 6 feet deep aquates to 3600 gallons if of course you have the room.In which you could keep about seven koi.
Yes you are correct about your electricity bills going up,also your water bill wiil go up lots as well.as quoted lots of times before its not a cheap hobby.
I have a pond of 9500 gallons which is gas heated and this costs at a rough guess arond £100.00 a month, in gas, electric and water
I use four sequence pumps on the system which i think are pretty good on running costs.
As for filtration a bakki shower or nexus with k1 is the way to go.
Finally yes use lots of air.
good luck ,do it properly and enjoy.
