Kathy, I have heard and read about so many problems with ponds in full
sun location. Did you not have a good shaded area to build this pond?
I think I located my little koi pond in the best spot. It gets morning
sun and then the hot afternoon sun is blocked by huge maple tree about
25 feet away. I don't get any leaves in the pond until later fall and
then I clean and close up for the winter, bringing the koi inside for
winter vacation in tank.
