Looking good, its always great watching a good pond develop.

What is your plan for stretching the liner over/around the island?

Also are you aiming for more of a crystal clear koi pool or a planted watergarden in the end?

Thanks! Im planning on buying an excessivley large liner, starting at the island and working it out around that. Probably going to be a PITA but I think in the end it will be worth it. In the end I want a clear pool more than I do planted, and the waterfall/pond will have lighting throughout it which should look pretty nice at night time.

Honestly I have no idea! Im going to a local aquarium/pond place weds to get some advice as to what to run for filtration and what I need to do plumbing wise. Id also like to run an aerator in it to keep everything moving and to minimalize any possible problems.

Its now about 43'' in the deep end, and I plan on using an aerator which will help combat the ice. My buddy not too far away from me has a 3-3.5' deep on and hasnt lost a koi in years, so I should be ok I think..
