    Remember koi need uv rays or good light for good colors. Saying that you can put lights in

    No mate. When pond was first getting topped up. And testing for leaks. Window had a leak bottom corner. Used gold seal under water
    Did the buisness. That was my pond builder. Fixing the leak. What do you think would look better on the roof.

    Even polycarbonate blocks a certain percentage of sunlight rays. In the UK where it is winter half the time () I would go with clear polycarbonate, with the option of putting something shady on it just in the main heat of the summer if needed (scaffolding debris netting or similar is a good really cheap option for this).

    Koi need a certain amount of natural light to develop good colours and also he totally healthy. It seems a bit crazy to me to totally shade the sun light out, then pay in electricity to replace it with an artificial bulb.
