    Looks fine on Tapatalk through my iPhone. Looks like a fun trip. If you want any of those named corals just hit up Rudy before those places buy from him at a fraction of the cost..lol

    I don't see myself getting around to a tank build for awhile so I don't see a reason to hold onto stuff. Will have more down the road but here's just what I could find for now.

     

    Misc food, supplements, miracle water, whatever you want to call this stuff. The whole lot for $50 most are 1/2 to 3/4 full some are new. Will continue to add to this as I find supplements.

    I've got taste for all sorts of music. My company threw a private concert at Petco Park a few weeks ago for us with Heart!! We also had another band called the Chris weaver band that did all sorts of cover songs that was impressive.

    Any pond builders out there?

    So I'm getting annoyed with the people over on the pond forum.  They seem to just keep telling me everything I have isn't going to work.  Ok so it's not all the most expensive stuff on the market but I still don't see why it wouldn't work on this pond.  If any of you have worked with Cyprio filters I just picked up one and would love to have some suggestions on how much of a pump I should add to it.  It will be hooked up to the bottom drain that comes out as a 1 1/2" flex tube.

    If you need some ideas, call this place or visit it ( his name is Wes and tell him Tom recommended :-) )

    http://www.cotskoi.com/

     

    Or local in Beaverton: http://alljapankoi.com/( Tony ).

     

    Just like u, in the past, I went through 800gal garden pond to 2000gal garden pond and finally settle for this ~9000 gal KOI pond (25x14x4.5).  I spent quite some $$ with tranquility store on my first 2 ponds and they all ended up some where in my yards collected dust or broke down under Sun's UV un-used.  Decide on what you want and do lot research and visit the places that I recommended ( or visit my pond ) prior any purchases or it will cost fortune and does nothing.  All these filter out there rated for 5000gal, probably is good for just 500 gal pond without any fishes....so be aware!!!  All my 9000 gal pond materials were purchased with Horizon and home depot and few things from the recommended stores above ( bottom drains, UV ).  Good luck!

     

    So funny story.  Wes is actually the guy who built this pond at my place and he ran the business from this house for a few years before they outgrew it.  I stopped by and chatted with him for awhile the other day.  Great guy.  Looking forward to seeing what type of things I can snag from him but most of his stuff is a lot more exotic then I can afford.  Beautiful fish for sure.

    So I happened to find out that the person that built this pond actually ran a koi business from this house years ago.  They outgrew it and are now located next to Shorty's Nursery in Ridge field Wa called Children of the Son Koi Fish.  We chatted today for about an hour or so and it sounds as though the owner between us had really trashed the place.  Too bad because they had all sorts of great things from what they were saying.  Anyways I'm now trying to decide if I should do a fancy filter for the pond for cleaner water or just do a DIY filter and tie it to the center intake at the bottom of the pond.  I've read mixed reviews about both but DIY would be a much cheaper alternative.  I have no issues with cleaning it more frequently.  Based on the previous owner Wes he said that the pond is about 2500 gallons and at it's prime he had about 30 large koi in it.  I don't forsee myself having that many koi and his were all high end Japanese koi.  If I go with a prebuilt filtration system it looks to be about $1000-$2000 depending on the brands etc including a UV filter.  If I do a DIY I'm guessing i could do it for about $400-$600 with 55 gallon drums.  Have any of you ever done a DIY or is it worth just spending the big lump sum and getting a prefab unit?

    Nice! Now hopefully nothing snacks on them in the middle of the night :unsure: We have the local raccoons that like to visit our pond so no fish......

    I'm hoping the depth of the pond will deter anything that's hungry...
