Hi Newbie,
You are at the right place to soak up some good advice before building your koi pond. Kio Bito wasn't available to me 7 years ago when I first built mine without a bottom drain and without adequate filtration. Three years later after finding this forum and a couple others, reading the comments of knowledge sharing koi keepers like you are doing here and actually visiting several experienced koi keepers with ponds that did have adequate filtration, I ripped up what I had, upgraded the filtration and put in not one but three bottom drains.
The old saying in this hobby that "you cannot have too much filtration" is true. So build it big, get the filtration right and then go get yourself some nice fish that you can enjoy without becoming a fish doctor.
