question on winter

[FishOCD]

Respectfully, MCA, I am not a fan of floating a cover on the surface of the water as too often a koi manages to work itself on top of the cover. If you do so, suspend it off the water or extend it significantly beyond the pond's edges. (I put it over a PVC greenhouse-type frame)

Our pond is semiraised. Cover goes to the ground in all directions. No risk of koi getting on top. Would never have a cover that allows koi on top.

One of many advantages of semiraised ponds!!!

wouldn't be an issue or at least has not been an issue for me. we get at least a few nights per winter that temp drop below freezing. I meant you can literally see the thin layer of ice on grass in the morning. waterfall running fine. I left it through out the winter. day time coldest water temp was in low 40's but it's temporary.
