Welcome Mark Whallen

Hi Mark
Welcome to KB,
To all of you who do not know, Mark was the editor of Koi USA several years ago, he belongs to ZNA OC. He and his wife Charlene have a beautiful pond with very High quality koi, I think his pond is somewhere around 13,000 gallons. Mark has been in the hobby forever. And to top it all off he also lives next door to none other than Burt Ballou..

welcome

Hi Guys,

This is Mark Whalen. Nancy showed me this site and it interested me. I'm amazed how many responses of people who had seen my pond. The pond is over 13,000 gallons, has 2 Lim pumps, a UV light, 2 Japanese mat filters and two gravel filters. Hope that's enough. I'll try to upload a picture if my tutor (Nancy) can help.

Mark
