When it gets really cold and you think your de-icer might not keep up you can always drop in a small pump and point the outlet towards the surface to keep the water stirred up on the surface to keep from freezing over. Just a suggestion. I love your thinking on all of your filters. 👍

perhaps an emergency winter cover is needed & even an aquarium heater just to keep a small area clear of ice 🤔 the thing I learned many, many years ago is we keep water & if we are successful at that, the fish take care of themselves 😊 I absolutely love the fact that you have done this yourself ❤

I hate to hear about your losses but it's extremely common for temperature losses to be the biggest ones first!! It's because of Increased toxic gases in the fishes gills brought on by the lack of O2 exchanges obviously the bigger the fish the more exchange needs to happen and the size of the fish is always their downfall when this happens?!!! Never allow the pond to freeze completely over you can very easily get a heater and prevent a ice event from killing anymore fish , look into them you have a really cool diy filtration system going on I'm sure you can prevent iceing in the future....I think your pond in amazing nothing cooler than walking up seeing that many koi greeting you!! Amazing filtration and pond for sure!!

Koi can survive freezing temperatures as long you make sure the whole pond does not freeze on top, you need a pond de-icer to keep a small hole on the top water so oxygen exchange can occur and your koi will be fine

Is your pump internal or external. I'm resetting my pond up again and want to install a external pump that conveys the pond water through a 2 1/2" pipe with a birds cage opening at the bottom for pond water intake. A systematic drawing would be fantastic. You've done a great job, and I can see your proud of your achievement, well done you.

At 13 cents per 1000watts per hour = 360watts X 24 hours = 8640 watts used (8.64 kwh X .13 Cents = $1.12 a day X 30 days = $33.69 a month).

Your math on the electric cost per month is dead on! 😃 Believe or not it cost around $1,000 to build the pond. The hardest part was digging the pond by hand that took around 2 weeks. If you check my first few videos which are on the aquaponics system so my filtration system follows the aquaponics set up which is easy for me to do, that took about 1 week.
