The Frady's Pond
Bio
Keeping koi since:
1996
Introduction to koi:
Visited
Joe and Sherry White in Florida and fell in love with their pond and koi

Utsuri
Why:
I like the color
mix of the pure white with the black or the pure red or yellow with the black.
Pond Specs
Size:
Pond
is 12.5' wide by 23' long by 5' deep
Number of koi:
about 35, I lost
count
Plants:
some water
lilies for now but they may be moving
Liner: EPDM
Filtration:
Run a dual
system by Wm. Lim composed of 2 one-third hp pumps which are fed by 3" bottom
drains. One pump feeds a pressurized bead filter and the other feeds a
pressurized settlement tank, bead filter, and a UV light. Both systems return
through directional sidewall jets and the waterfall. I am installing a second
UV light to assist with algae growth.
Future Plans: Discussions
are underway to create a second pond which will be primarily for water plants
and small koi. This pond will be only two feet in depth and will utilize more
natural filtration systems
