Is everybody laying back and thinking "It's gotta be 6 feet and 6,000 gallons"?[/quote]
I went 8000 US gal and 6ft with 2 bottom drains thinking it was an over kill
now I wish it was 12,000 gal . It is never big enough . I would go for 8000 gal minimum with 2 bottom drains . You do not need to use them both drains,in fact with just a few fish you will not need as much filtration . Then you can in a few years time put in the filtration necessary for your fish load .
It is extremely costly to add on size to a pond it is lower cost to build a new one . Or the other option is to build a 2,ooo gal and use it for Quarantine pond when you finally can afford a koi pond
