It is part of my front porch which is shelter so no more rain water issue.

Before I introduce koi, my pond can last 6mth before I need to clean but now with the koi growing I need to clean every 2 mth. And I am think not to sacrifice 35% for filter chamber that's why am looking for external compact filtration system.
