We have a koi pond in our yard here at Chicago Discus... How can we help?
I and three others responded to your “Hi there” thread earlier.....check it out. It’s in the New Member Welcome Centre section.
I need a piece of advice about which one of these things to choose and how to install those filters. That depends on the dimensions of the pond, right? I'd appreciate if we could discuss it in PMQuote:

Daniel is correct. I’m sure there are plenty of koi people around who would be glad to share thoughts. Just so you know, this koi ponder has been doing it for over thirty years, has had three articles published in KOIUSA Magazine, and I’m still picking up ideas and learning. I’ve learned a ton with the Discus forum as I’ve just got into Discus the last few years. Anyway......we’re all here should you elect to use the forum.
I can offer help too.

I was hoping that you would see this thread. You've dug many ponds and know what to do. But I'd already bothered you with two favors here for what you could help with and I didn't want to bother you again.
Paula, Barb can you. So can Miranda but Barb knows the DIY way. Which ever you decide to do, please keep us updated with pics of the process as it goes on.
Are you planning on bottom drain or undergravel suction grid, or skimmer intake only?
Lots of factors before you dive in on filtration. There are thousands of options and maybe only 10-12 good ones.
