Thanks :-) You should post some pictures of your pond! I like how you are picky about your pagodas That is a nice looking pagoda though! I saw one like that once at Sunnyside garden centre in Calgary. They have the largest selection of garden ornaments.

ya, that's why I asked them to post the pics. That pond looks insane and I'm sure lots of other people would love to see it. This is why we have a Pond/Koi forum!!

That pond is absolutely amazing. I was there last weekend. You should ask him to post some pictures of his koi. Man, some of them are as big as my thighs!!

What would really be nice is a pond journal where you can share all the details of your pond! How deep is it?? Do you over winter outside?? How often do you feed? What do you feed?? How do you battle algae?? Is that an aerator I see?? Where do you get your koi from?? Don't answer those questions here. Start a thread!!
