![]() Here are some pics of the koi pond I am building, be nice, its not done yet....lol
The liner still needs to be trimmed at ground level, the crush needs to be placed around the pond and rest of yard, the pond waterfall is not built yet(at the far end close to the filter) the filter works great, its an upflow design with an open water area for the first 8" or so for settling debris that can be drained by the simple turn of a ball valve. the overflows are 2" and 1 1/2", the feed line comming from the submersible pump is 1 1/4" and the pump is rated for about 2000gph at 4'TDH. The media is similar to packaging nylon wrap but is stamped with a pattern for extra surface area, it works great, cleans easy, dosent clog, and lasts 5+ years no prob(its made by Savio) In the pics the pond is not full, the rocks are usually in about 3"-4" of water, we have just started pond plants, I will post pics to show progress. In the pic where you can see most of the front yard you will notice that the yard has a larger lower level, a much larger koi pond with a lookout island will take up 2/3 of the lower part of the yard... the top pond will have a winding stream going from itself to the lower pond. We are doing alot of renos, I will post as it goes.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
