So I've been following this site, researching on and off for a couple years. I was all set to dive into my first ever Koi Pond this summer (we are in the middle of winter) but then came across the post from Auntiesue called BIG MISTAKE.
So now I have a big concern that I'm not ready or it will be much more costly than I expect. I wasn't planning to use concrete as I'm not on a huge budget. So I was going to purchase some of the items needed like an aerated BD and Skimmer but planned on DIY bio filtration systems. We have had reef tanks for years and want to take the dive into a kio pond as we love having fish and find them so beautiful.
Anyone from the Midwest that has tips, advice, experience that they'd like to pass along on how they supported, or maybe didn't support their sides.
My plan is a 10x10 being 5-6ft deep.
Thank you so very much
