Koi/Pond Owner new to FishBox!

Hi Everyone, excited to be apart of the community here.  Our new home in Shoreline, WA. (richmond beach) came with a 3000 gallon koi pond that was 8 years neglected and 3 fish.  Spent the last year doing a complete restoration and adding fish.  Fully addicted and loving the hobby!!!  Still have soooo much to learn though.  My wife and 3 kids and I are really enjoying the fish and time we spend working on the pond.  I would really love to meet any other Shoreline area Koi owners.  I get freaked out occasionally about something and dont feel like I know where to turn too without having to drive 40 minutes to a koi dealer.  It'd be awesome for those of us in the local area that have Koi, or know the hobby, to be a resource to each other, and maybe even tour each others ponds to glean some knowledge.  I started a facebook page for anyone that wants to be a part of that as a means to connect.  (facebook.com/shorelinekoi)  Also, big THANK YOU to Cory at the Aquarium Co-op for stocking Koi now and koi food.  And for the referral to Fishbox!

VERY NICE! Welcome to the box. I love the fact you chose to restore the pond rather than remove it. Hope this pond really takes off for you!

Welcome. Sounds like you put alot of work into the revamp and now have a great pond. I don't have koi so I'm no help there but I think there are a few folks on the forum that have them. Hope you make some "koi" connections
