I'll be sure the check the sound laws. Also, since I dont want to litter this forum with useless threads. Can someone tell me if the pond being 15 ft. by 6 ft and 2.5 feet deep is too shallow for my koi? I'm worried that as the koi get bigger the water won't be deep enough.

What are the average day and night time temps there? Is it shaded? Covered?
Does it freeze over in the Winter? How warm does the water get in the Summer?
Heres the problem. I live in Ontario Canada. It gets pretty hot in the summer, about 20 - 30 degrees CELSIUS, and for you americans 68 - 86 Farenheit. And in the winter the temperature can drop to about -25 degrees faranheit here. If i lived in a warmer climate I'm sure 2.5 feet is no problem, but I'm really doubting the fish can survive a Canadian winter.
Koi can live in 24" of water in USDA Zone 4 throughout the winter. As long as a hole is kept in the ice you should be ok. The number and size of the fish may have a factor also.
Yah, I as well was told that my pond should be about 4 ft deep so it won't completly freeze. However I'm getting mixed opinions some telling me yes they'll be fine and other telling me no they'll die. Well I could set up an indoor tank for them with ease but they are quite little and my pond is built through stacking large rocks, so there are hundreds of nooks crannies and caves for them to retreat to. So catching them is going to be hell (especially catching all 25 of them). They are extremely fast too, so chasing them with a net isn't going to work. And to add to that they are extremely afraid of me still, and run at first sight of me.
So right now I have no idea what to do.

you could just add a big heater it may keep the close area from freezing.Kaze;3219122; said:Yah, I as well was told that my pond should be about 4 ft deep so it won't completly freeze.

lem just add a valve and another return to the the pond directly, just turn the valve at night.
or you could always add some slate or other rocks to break up the drop, i dont see the attractiveness of a straight drop.
do you and your neighbor share a yard? or is it really that loud?
if hes just being a jerk and wins in counsel, turn your pond off but get some hound dogs and keep them out side at night, that will show him(trust me he will beg for the white noise back)
for the noise prob
