It's quite murky, so I can't tell if they're there or not. I just checked pH and it looked like 8.2 (ouch) so I put in some pH reducing salts. It's supposed to be 7-7.6, right? 8.4 is no problem, as RTB mention koi are bothered by it at all. Course plants & filters do better when it is 8.4 and less. It's about 500 gallons, by my estimate. At the moment I only have a little pump that circulates water down a very small waterfall. Should I get a filter as well? If you've got koi, you're going to need a filter, that is why your water is murky. You need to check ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, pH & KH plus the temperature of your pond. How many koi? ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: www.jjspond.us ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website
