Advice welcome on planter/pond please
I have had fish all my life and this will be my first attempt at something outdoors. I am planning on setting up a large (about 25-30 gallon)pot as a “mini pond” on my back patio (I’m in upstate NY by the way), and I just wanted to see if anyone had any advise/ideas for me that might help make it a little easier (or nicer). I don’t know how I’m going to do the filtration or shade it yet, so any help would be appreciated. I’m trying to keep the cost as low as possible, and I have a sponge filer that I may use in conjunction with a power head I have already, but I don’t know for sure. I also have 2 20 gallon tanks ready to go for the winter months. Thanks, Mark P.S. I love butterfly koi , and I was thinking about putting in 3. I do know the dangers of over feeding but I was wondering if anyone thought this would be too many for 30 or so gallons with a large amount of surface area.
