Thanx Guys, I have been thinking about having a koi pond for the past 20 years lol... but always putting this off because of the time spent maintaining. I enjoy fishing and this is where my time as been spent but would now like to watch fish without taking them out of the water using rods.

My Idea is this

The pond will be 14 ft by 7 ft and 7 ft deep...... 4273.3 Gallons (uk)
I would like to use the same set-up as markf1fan
Buy some young quality koi to raise to a good size

The pond needs to be safe for the Nephews, Neices & Grandchildren so thinking about an indoor enclosed.
I will have a indoor pond using a 21ft by 10ft hercules greenhouse with louvres and auto opening vents. These are about 3k but the safety aspect for the kids...money well spent I think

Would you let me know what you think about ponds in greenhouses. I know somebody that as used a greenhouse for this purpose but with pros and cons
feedback would be appreciated
Cheers Daz
