I'm visiting rudy. rudy has built his own pond. this 2700 gallon koi pond is equipped with a good filter system, oasis pumps and a drum filter. despite the s. First, place the koi in bags containing the pond water. let them acclimate for about 15 minutes. place the bags in the pond water and let the fish swim out. add just a few fish to the pond at a time, no more than five or six in the 5 to 6 inch size range. this lets your biological filters adapt to the koi.
1. fill the pond with a garden hose and dechlorinate the water. place the end of the hose in the bottom of the pond, then turn on the tap and let the pond fill to about 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) below the rim. if you live in an area with non potable water, use a hose filter to purify the water as it comes out. Installing your pump and filtration system. step 1. place the pump at the bottom of the pond liner, and make sure the cord can reach an outlet. the pump and the filter should be on the same side of the pond. once you have the pump in place, put the cord underneath the flexible liner. Koi are beautiful fish (in the carp family) that can live for many years if properly cared for. the better the environment you build for them the longer they will live. as you will discover water quality is key in keeping koi healthy. myth 1. koi are expensive.' it is true there are koi fish that go for thousands of dollars. Place your koi in their bags to float in the water pond for around 15 minutes, allowing them to acclimate. you can then add some of the ponds water to the koi fish bags and leave them for another 15 minutes. then you can open the bags and let the koi swim out. ensure that you do not add more than five koi at a time, as your biological filter.

Unfold the epdm liner and fit it to match the shape of the pond. extend the liner onto the banks for a minimum one foot distance. install the underlayment first, followed by the pond liner. fold the corners inward and leave at least 12 inches over the side walls of the pond to secure it with a cap board or stone. A 1,000 gallon pond that is at least 3 4 feet deep, for example, should house no more than five average size koi fish. more fish than that will require a larger pond. if you plan on housing up to fifteen koi fish in one pond, you’ll want a pond that is roughly 3,000 gallons. 3. excavate your pond.
