Answer 1

That is a very complex question that cannot be covered correctly and effectively in an answers post no matter how long. You really do need to buy a book on the subject.

How To Build a Pond: Getting Started


To build your pond, you will need the following:
A shovel
A rake
14" 28 gauge roofing flashing
1/2" PVC pipe cut into @ 2' pieces
15# roofing felt for underlayment
Pond liner Pump, hose clamps, tubing for waterfall
U/V light

we must know the type of pond to be installed. The koi pond is a special type of pond and needs much filtration, must be deeper than most other ponds, is treated like a very large outdoor aquarium and must be taken care of like one. The filters must be cleaned regularly, the koi must be fed daily, and most of the time.

pond equipment wise, decide whether u want external fitration system or internal filtration system. External will be outside of pond (longer last) but expensive. Internal pump is inside pond (less expensive but wear out faster)

after u dig and lay out your lining, add water, stretch lining, add stone around edge of pond, tuck excess lining, bury the excess lining, add grow plants around pond.

once pond is set up, buy treatment for pond to kill chlorine, ammonia, nitrates, etc...., also pond salt to soften water, ask the pond store what else u need, there are so many products to help u maintain well balance pond water.

I hope this info help, good luck.
