The over all pond size is about 150 - 175 gallons. We cleaned it out (lots of leaves and other stuff in it) and put in fresh water. Next, the pump went in and made it look pretty good.
I started reading about ponds on the web and decided that adding some fish would make it more enjoyable as well as help control mosquitos. After further reading, I decided to get some plants with the goal of getting the right balance of fish and plant life which will keep the water clear.
The fish are a Koi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koi and a Shubunken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubunkin
Water Lily plant - it should bloom by June.
