Default Koi pond help needed

Hi,

I just moved to my new place and inherited the pond and kois that the ex-owner left behind. He gave me the number to the guy that he used to maintain the pond but i dont think that the fella was doing a good job.

I find that the set-up was a little weird. Is there anyone here that can recommend a good koi guy that can teach me a little about looking after the little fellas and do a good job servicing the pond?

thanks!

Let me be the first to welcome you to the poisonous world of koi! Soon, you'll find yourself taking regular trips to farms and lapping up all information you can find

There are many seasoned bros here that can be of help. Maybe you can share more information and pictures of your current set-up, and we can brainstorm, that is, if you don't mind DIY...

I definately dont mind DIY at all...I have tried cleaning up once already, but the pump dont seem to be strong enough and there is only one point of suction to clear the debris so it is still quite dirty after a while....will try to put up pics soon...thanks...happy new year

If the pond and filter was not design properly then you will have more issues with mainaining your pond water. You can increase your filter capacity by adding external filters.
