I have finalized the plans for the new pond and expect to begin digging on Monday. The final design specs are below.
:turtle:
Width: 14'
Length: 22'
Depth: 3' slope down to 5' (approx)
Capacity: 3500 to 4500 Gallons

Habitat: Mixed - Turtles (Main/Majority) + Koi, Crucian Carp Goldfish
The depth of this pond will also make it possible to allow the turtles to brumate naturally with a 5 to 6 inch sand + organic material layer with several full cave/hides. :turtle:

Crucian Carp. Basically a shiny silver generic looking koi cousin :D The common carp is the building blocks for all koi and goldfish.
