I'm kind of new at this myself, and also new to the news group, but we put
in a new pond this year about 4500 gallons. We had a 150 gallon preform
first and decided to go larger . Used a savio skimmer with a uv light and a
bio falls filter. Water is amber colored and clean. Everyone has an angle to
this pond stuff, best advice is plan, plan and re plan.
So much has to do with the area you live in and the climate your dealing
with. If you are planning on having fish you will need some sort of small
filter to remove the waste, despite what everyone told us we had 4 kol in
our small 150 gallon for 2 years including 2 Chicago winters, the kol did
not grow much but were healthy, according to our vet friend. Also one thing
I found out was most of the fun was building it.


Good luck and have fun
