really koi can survive in 20-30 F degree water? so you mean they still alive if the pond with frozen solid water?mshill90;5061340; said:Koi can survive in waters down to about 20-30 degrees. But you need to keep a hole in the ice to allow for gas exchange.
In all honesty, I would try to go down another foot- foot and a half if possible.
At 1,000 gallons depending on the size of your koi, you're looking at single digits to keep everything in check unless you run massive filtration.
how cold it can get in your area ! I never seen koi pond with strong current around me get freeze water, and it usually get around 20 here in the winter!Enemyarms;5061951; said:I may skip koi and get goldfish. Really think it won't freeze? That would make me happy. Everyone was saying the water would freeze in the pump and pipes. The liner ive got is 14x14 how would I combine more than 1? Wouldn't that cause a seam and alow my water to leave the pond? If I found an easy way to do this, i could dig it deeper.
