This is my favorite spot in our back yard. The 3 waterfalls that fall into the lower pond where our koi live. The red Japanese maple was nipped by frost after it leafed out this spring.
A 2.5 horse power pump pumps the water from the bottom drains to the bubble bead filter from there it goes up the hill about 40' to to 200 watt UV and then into the upper pond. This gives us maximum flow over the water falls.
Our pond is home to 30 large koi, the largest a male that is 36 inches, my Sunny who will be 27 in a few days. The smallest are the 5 Chinese hi-fin banded sharks from the Yangtze River in China, and the smallest koi is about 22 inches,
Lower pond is 10,000 gallons of water, total pond is 15,000 gallons.
