Pictures of the pond & koi
Discussion
Hi,
Just a few photos of the family pond. Previous owner of the house built it and stocked it with lots of koi. It's been on the cover of a well known koi magazine which featured the build. It's about 10' deep so it holds a lot of water! These photos were taken in the summer so it was looking a bit green and foamy. It looks much cleaner after some rain and cloud. It's filtered by 3 huge circular filters, a large shell and grit stacker filter and also has UV light filters. It runs 3 big pumps too. All the filters and pumps are housed under the decking at the back.

That's not a pond - that's a private lake!
Those Koi must be worth thousands Dany .... my uncle used to own a tropical fish store nr. Wallisdown, Bournemouth, and sold some Koi that were (then) well over £1,000 each.

Wow, thats hugely impressive, as has been said some of those Koi must be worth a fortune, wonder if the value of those was taken into account when the purchase price of the house was determined?
I'm in the process of getting planning permission to dig a 0.4 acre pond in the garden at the moment simply to give me access to some coarse fishing as there is nowhere remotely close to where I live in Aberdeenshire and its one of the few things I really miss not living in England anymore.
