A little pic of my pond!

Just thought I'd share my pond with you guys, not the best quality picture but should give you an idea!

Sorry to be the first to put a downer on things. It’s a nice looking pond, but it needs to be at least 4 feet deep for koi, to allow for proper muscle development. It’s also massively overstocked.

errr it's 6ft deep and 3k gallons?

[fluxtor]

..... and overstocking is a personal choice. If it's well filtered and the water quality is good then it's not a problem. I accept I won't get the biggest koi but some are 60cm plus! My ultimate goal is to reduce the stock to 10-12 bigger higher quality koi!

These guys will cure your algae issues, although it might be a tight fit!

Oops. Ok. It looked only ‘floor deep’ from the picture. A reflection of the rug, it seems.

I only view this after @fluxtor answered you but on first view the picture I thought the same.

I'm presuming it's taken from an upstairs window, and I'm struggling to see a rug, just a gravel path??

Ah ok. It looked indoors when I first saw it. That also threw me a bit.
