Hi everyone! It's been a while but I'm in the middle of making my third (and much larger) Koi pond. This pond is large enough that I want to put a skimmer in. I've been looking online and found a few boxes that I think would work fine but then I thought, maybe I should ask some of my fellow enthusiasts.
The pond is 10-11 feet wide by 23-24 feet long. Most of it is 4 feet deep but gradually goes to 2 feet in the shallow end. So 264 sq. ft. and around 5,116 gallons.
I'm currently looking at the following but I would love some input or alternatives if there is a better option.
1. Atlantic Water Gardens PS4600
2. Aquascape Signature 400
3. EasyPro Axiom PSA5000
4. EasyPro Pro-Series PS1FB (rated at 6k gallons and 600 sq. ft. (Overkill but nice features. The next model down is only 250 sq. ft. and 3000 gallons rated)
Money is not a big concern but I don't want to go crazy. $500 or less is ideal. I appreciate any input. This will be my 4th Koi pond and the 3rd one I'm building myself.
Thanks!
