Me and my pond

Dear all,

Just for sharing and all comments are welcome.

Am new to koi keeping and for the first time, we had decided to build a pond in our humble home.

The dimension of our pond.
15 x 8 x 3 ft.

Started construction in Feb 2011 and should be due for completion soon along with our renovation.

We had remove the existing informal pond and constructed our new formal pond. The completed pond will be covered with wodden decking.

Below are some photos of the process and more photos to follow.

More photos.

Bro....

Your pond design seems to have many outlets.
Did the contractor explain how the water flow and rate of turnover?

Yes, bro my contractor did advised that the additional outlet by the side will be use to enhance circulation, other then that the sump design operates in the same way with the assistance of the surface skimmer.

The design has a four compartment sump, if I am not wrong there will be more than one pump in it.

Will check with my contractor for more details and update accordingly.
