Hypothetical question for y'all:
(I'm half tempted to make this post into it's own thread later with better pics and graph paper drawings.)

If you had the space (AND your own backhoe) in your backyard, without any worry over HOA or city reg's as we are out in county only jurisdiction.
Would you :
A) actually dig the proper sized hole for a realistic pond for your Koi babies?
B) how close to the house would you put it?
C) Or just figure out a way to make some kind of built-in faux pond using the current horse troughs? (The small one is the entire natural filter unit)
That styrofoam is the temporary solar insulation to reduce the thermal saturation from direct sunlight.

(I have learned that for the koi to survive the occasional freezes and frost that the pond will.need to be a minimum of 48" deep for them the escape the ice and extreme summer hot water near and including the surface.)View attachment 2295029
I do, I did. Technically mine are just feeder goldfish but they are all carp anyway.

I keep mine from freezing with a continuous flow of well water.

Since I am on a sand dune, I put down a rubber liner. I could have used a bentonite liner but rubber works.

Do check your state laws. Here Koi/goldfish are only allowed in an aquarium. You just have to make sure that the definition of what is allowed fits your situation.
 
Na not so much.
Youre harmless
Got dammit I lost my spot again but I’ll pick up here.
I’ll come at you like a spider monkey! I ain’t scared no tussle, been in some! Come at me bruh!
If only you heard it with your ears, then you would get it.
