luv it.

where's the filter, location wise?

Just to the left of this photo about 25'-35' beyond the pond near the fence.The top of the vortex and the building housing the pumps and filters are all at the ponds water level and are hopefully hidden from view.The gas heater and heat exchanger are located in the green box on the right then gravity feeds to 4" pipe in this pic.

Nice! So do you ever go swimming in it?

that's just what I was wondering...

 

[oldfish]

Ok ok I admit it. I have swam in it.Every year on the fourth of July I get my mask and snorkel and swim with the fishes.

In these pictures 5 of my largest koi are not in the pond.They were in a holding tank awaiting going to a koi show.I could keep many more koi in my pond (at one time I had 70) but then they will not grow as large.I try to keep only about 20 koi and sell one every time I add one.I added 7 fish this spring from my last trip to Japan so I'll be thinning the herd this month.
