| Hello. I just wanted to do a quick survey to see how each ponder here overwinters their Koi pond. I do know the different methods available... deep pond with air hole, ever-flowing waterfall, heated pond, green house, bring the fish indoors, etc. I'm not asking for how to overwinter Koi. What I want to know is what methods you have employed and the success rate of your overwintering method.
1) Please state your zone.
Looking forward to hearing your responses. |

| 1) zone 5 2) 20,000 gallons - dimensions...uh...25x15'ish...ish..ish. Various depths, the deepest being 6.5'. 27 koi and God only knows how many hybrid bluegill. 3) I leave the waterfall running. that's it unless we are going have a mega-extended freeze and then i put a heater by the intake opening to keep it open. 4) none except for year one - i think bacteria - they were about 8" long and I lost three..no clue how old they were. 5) it's easy and it works 6) no clue...my electric bill is never noticeably higher |
