Not sure what kind of filter, but it does somewhere between 2500-3000 GPH.
The dimensions are 10'L X 7'W X 4'D.
Yea there are alot of fish in there. The koi had babies about two years ago and they were not really big enough to catch until now. This summer were giving a bunch away to some neighbors who have recently built ponds.

in places where winters are freezing, a pond needs to have a minimum depth of 1.1 yards or 100cm for the koi to be able to hibernate. the ice layer is usually 20cm thick, providing a non-frozen area of 80cm and a bottom level temperature of +4C/39F :thumbsup:

Actually, I am building backyard ponds for a living, and you don't need to go as deep as one might think. We build ponds 2 feet deep and some go as little as 18" and they keep fish over winter. Seeing that we are from the great white north anywhere below here should be the same! Reason being is that water is an insulator, and so is the soil. Water has takes a lot more to freeze especially after it is under the ice already. But nice looking pond tho. I believe it may be a little under filtered for the size that it is. With a pond you want to turn the water at least 2wice an hour, Yours at best is only doing 1 and a half.

The big fish have survived many winters in different sized ponds over the years. As long as the pond doesn't completely freeze, and there is a hole in the ice for gases to escape they are fine.
