New Koi pond being built

I have lurked alot more than posting. Had my first water garden back in 1989 when I was still in school. built my second pond at my brother house in 2000. This is my first koi pond.

After years of planning and saving this is going to be the year, it finally will happen. 7,000 gallons koi pond with no plant. 12' x 20' x 5' deep. Liner pond with concrete block wall 1-1/2' above ground. 2 Sugar Loaf bottom drain, 4 single level TPR, savio skimmer, first filter system Nexus 300 with Easy static center section. Second filter system Nitritech 911, Third filter system skimmer line and mid water drain line to to Ultima 2000 bead filter to water wall. Depending on water clarity the bead filter will be eliminated or upgraded next year.

The pond built started in April. With most work done by myself.
