Thanks all,

I guess I will try and grow to about 10"-12" before saying aloha. I'm still contemplating that HUGE pond on base to release the koi that I try to grow-out in my small home pond. I did another site visit yesterday on my way home and took notice to a lot of water walkers and even some turtles in the pond.

I got the whole winter season and then some to get this going. You see....yet more waiting for me. Hahaha... For a small home pond (5'x12'x3' deep)outside during the winter, is it possible to keep small koi alive during these times? I can easily build a cover for the pond but what are the methods for keeping water at acceptable levels to sustain the small koi? Heaters? Would built-in insulation in and around my wood framing help too?
