Zen style koi pond

[kendragon]

9000 gal liner pond with stream

Stream

Typical Kohaku, Showa, Sanke

Very nice 24" Ki Utsuri. Classical japanese markings. You don't see too many of them around. Definite show quality.

Built this pond 5 years ago for a customer. Not my pond.
Was there today for cleaning so I took a few pics.
Filtration two vortex chambers with brushes. 1/4HP dragon wave pump. 6 cuft of media in the waterfall box. 120W UV.

Most likely just to keep the fish from jumping out of the pond.

The owner lost over $3000 worth of koi in one day from a blue heron visit. Since all the kois are big now I've advised them to remove it but they don't have a warm fuzzy doing it. They also put up the arched patio partly over the pond because someone told them that heron will not go under structures. Someone made some money on that...haha

Nice pond...
I've been hearing horror stories about raccoons too.
