Just a hair over 500 gallons when completely full. Been hard to keep it that full this summer with all the heat. B this was an easy build. Only cost me about $175.

I built the filter from an old sea salt bucket. The water is pumped into the bottom and is forced up through lava rock and filter floss. Then An overflow tube in the center drains the water back to the pool. I am thinking about another bucket on the other end.

Nice looking fish. Love the Butterfly Koi. I had a white dragon butterfly koi but unfortunately it died. I now have a black Koi among others.Here's a picture of my pond. It's 350g.

Nice Terry and Whisper. I am still hoping to get a pond going next spring.

Terry believe it or not I found the black one at our local Petsmart. I had always wanted one and did research on the Internet but they wanted hundreds for them so when I saw it at Petsmart I grabbed it for $13.00..........If you look to the right on my pond picture you can see how close it is to our back deck. We go out there and have our morning coffee there and feed the fish. Also through out the day to smoke. We don't smoke in the house so every time someone goes out the fish get a little food.LOL
