A real koi pond would have to be in a different location as their isn't enough room to really add a whole lot to it or I should say add a whole lot to it in a managable way. What would an estimate on the costs on making a modest koi pond be? Unfortunately I am not financially gifted and this would have to be saved for which as I am learning more from all of your help is probly a good thing because it will give me time to learn more and make better decisions regarding my pond.
As atm what do you think I should do with my water garden feature to make it work as best as possible?
Heater...what kind?
Cover...Something to basically shade it while still allowing some light to get in?
fresh water trickle...it would have to be city water so what kind of equipment would I need?
Like I said in my first part about building an above ground pond next to my regular pond with nothing in it but the few koi I would like to keep? Maybe have that feed into the in ground pond with all the plants and stuff? Something like 3x6 and 4 foot deep shouldn't that be ok for a few 10 inch koi? How much should I be feeding them I have been feeding them once a week during the warmer months with no feeding once the weather was in the 40 for a week. As to the haste to move them I don't know the 6 Koi I do have have been in there since last fall, but you all know more than I do so I will go with those more knowledgable.
Its funny because before learning from you guys I thought my little pond was in pretty good shape overall just needed a few improvements. My limited time learning from you all has already been vastly helpfull and I can only believe it will only increase as I learn more and am able to learn through the building of knowledge.
Thanks again,
Todd
Oh yeah and BOOMER!
