the ponddiggers koi build a pond seminar

Just got back from an excellent two day pond seminar in Southern Ca with the Ponddigger - Eric Triplet - who also owns Exotic Aquatics. We spent time going over and learning about bottom drains, aeration and filtration so that a really great looking pond can also be constructed with very effective systems to control water quality. It is more like a hybrid between a water garden and a traditional koi pond so that you get the best of both worlds - a great looking pond and also effective filtration - with a system that can be adapted to most spaces.  Most traditional koi ponds look more like an aquarium in the ground with large numbers of koi going round and round - this new system that I was shown allows you to build a really beautiful looking pond that fits into the landscape.
