to be honest, i'm not sure what ones i still have in there and what died. it was so green that i hadnt seen them in a while, and then i lost a few and didnt pay attention to which ones :irked: i was just upset.

anyhow, i have some white ones, some platinum ones, a few orange, a few yellow, and some black and silver ones, and a few "mutts" that my girlfriend picked out (they look more like shubunkin than koi, but they're just lower grade koi)
 
Nice!!!

Is there a bottom drain/bung that you can use for fast water changes? Run that turd water to any perennials/shrubs in the yard and they will love you.
 
Nice pickup! It's going to be a great setup for koi, make sure you keep it well filtered.

Thanks everyone!!!

Unfortunately there is no drain in the bottom.
I just spin the PVC so instead of pumping into the filter it throws the water about 10 feet out into the yard :ROFL:
It takes about 15 minutes to lower it 50%, so i just run a smaller pump into the filter to keep circulation going while i'm draining it.
Then I fill it back up from the hose, add my dechlor, and reconnect the pvc.


we do have some tomato plants, and i could probably use the pond water instead of the hose ... but i cant bring myself to eat something that i know was swimming in fish crap :nilly:
