Very nice grizz!! I have a koi pond too and I think 24" May be a lil too shallow. 3-4 is more recommended for winter as they can just stay at the bottom n be warm without heaters. I have about 40 Kois ranging from 10"-30". As they get larger they will need the swimming room. From my experience I had to remove my center piece as the fishes would stress n dart into the center piece n ruin their face. I had many with scratches to facial deformation( mainly due to my neighbor tearing down the house n building new. The pounding on the ground rly startled them). As soon as I removed the centerpiece they absolutely loved the extra space. How do u manage without a net over the pond? Stupid raccoons always venture to my pond to either take baths on the waterfall n ruin the water or they try to go fishing. Man I rly love ur waterfall design and especially those Grizzlies haha. Just amazing work man!

After I got the new patio poured last summer / fall I built some of the railings, there is going to be a railing along the back side and open end of the pond as well.

Oh man the entrance with the grizz is epic haha. 6 huskies would deff do a great job of protecting ur backyard. That very same night of me posting about the raccoons they actually came in n ripped out my hose connection to my filter(there was teeth marks) so my pump was basically pumping water outside to the ground. Lucky my sis works early n alerted us when she saw it. There was only less than 6" left of water in the pond. My pond has a total water volume of around 1100-1200 gal so that's a ton of water spilled out. Very lucky my pump was dirty so it wasn't pumping at full strength.
