I’m really new to the hobby and currently just have a bunch of pond grade koi in a temporary pond (pool). My wife and I decided to add a koi pond we could enjoy to the backyard. We wanted something that would last and something that would be the proper setup for enjoying koi. A search for local contractors yielded no results, and we ended up deciding on PSKoi after hearing positive things about Russ’ ability to construct ponds. The inside dimensions of the pond are going to be approximately 12 x 18 x 5. It will have 2 bottom drains going to the RDF (Red Label 30/35) and then a 6’ wide stainless shower with Bakki media. I would like to thank all those who have posted and started discussions that helped educate me on what the best decision would be for my setup here. I will try to share photos as the build progresses, since I know we all love photos.
