1,300 Gallon pond build

[itsalmosteasy]

I helped my dad install the liner and fill his pond yesterday. Based on the time it took to fill we figured it is 1, 333 gallons. We tested the faucet flow rate by timing filling a 1 gallon milk jug and it took 9 seconds. Then timed the pond filling and it took 3 hr 20 min. Then converted fill time into minutes (3x60+20=200 mins). Then into seconds (200x60=12, 000 seconds). So then 12, 000/9=1, 333.33333 gallons. Does that sounds correct? The main body of the pond is roughly 12' x 14'. Now onto the pics:

It will be mostly koi. His koi are outgrowing the preformed liner pond they are in. Not sure what else he has planned for stocking.

There is a formula to calculate actual water volume based on salinity. Do you need it?
