The waterfall was setup just for aeration temporarily, i plan on it having a sheer fall about 2 feet wide and 2.5 foot drop into the water. I had to wait on lumber though which i now have so just need to get busy with it.

I wish i had a backhoe, I should have rented one but it's done now. I needed the exercise anyways, im getting kinda soft in my old age.

i already had some Koi, i have a few goldfish in there also but mainly Koi. I just have to feed them and rinse off the filter media every other month depending on how much i feed them.
I also just got this guy, a platinum ogon butterfly fin koi, he is about 5.5 inches. Once he goes thru quarantine he will go into the pond.
