Im now wondering what preperations I need to do with my pond. I have a
basic 3200 gal pond, a few koi and a filter leading to a water fall. I
think I need to redirect the water from the filter so it doesn't go to
the water fall but go directly back to the pond. I do know to stop
feeding them once the water temp is 55 degrees or so..
what else am I missing?

Like JB mentioned LEAVES. Even with the removal of our big maple I have a
wisteria next to the pond and even with a skimmer a lot can end up on the
bottom. Most made it into the bottom drain... but I still pulled a few
leaves up in the shop vac before I put the screens down.

All covered now and ready for winter. s ~ jan
