I know the year is not over but some northerners are knocking on cooler weather soon.
How would you rate the success of your pond this year. I know many of us had just started the pond from remodels. But how would you rate it.
was the pond eveything you expected and more
Growth
Quality of koi
filtration
fish health
ease of maintenance
Will you be making changes to it this winter or next spring and for what?
Your gunning for the complete remodel by spring 2006
I will put myself out there and say because of where I live near the coast with coastal fog year around and no temps to peak over 90 for more than a day. I had a slow start because of monsoon rains and showers that went into early summer. This year I am only gonna have a 2 month growing season. The change in temps made it tough on water and koi. I didnt really start to feed until late spring. So my plans to get some growth didnt happen so far.
The filters were fine fish health fine no injections this year (Knock on woody)
I might add a heater and 1 more chamber to my 3 chamber system already for kicks. Oh yeah also an almighty bakki shower for kicks...
