Koi Pond Building and Maintenance

Koi Pond Building, Maintenance, and Filtration

    

         

The construction of a koi pond is both a work of art and engineering.  The resulting pond must be beautiful to look at and at the same time serve its primary purpose - to provide a good home for your koi. 

     

Many novice and uninitiated koi hobbyists start koi keeping by digging a hole on the ground and filling it with water, only to find out later on that what they built lacked the necessities to keep their koi alive and happy.  Filtration, which is a basic requirement of koi pond building, is often an afterthought, awareness of which only comes when the erstwhile crystal clear water has turned green.   This, of course, doesn't have to be the case.  Every koi hobby newcomer simply has to spend a little time learning about the hobby before actually plunging into it.

    

Koi pond building and maintenance is a broad area in the koi keeping hobby, covering various topics that include building the pond itself, filtering it, and adding decorations to it.  Below are links to articles that discuss the basics of koi pond building and maintenance.  Needless to say, these are 'must read' articles for people who are planning to go into the koi hobby.
