Honest matters here, because the market is full of kits that are a liner and a pump with no biological filtration at all. Those go green within a season and put people off ponds permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three sizes carry the same four components: skimmer, BioFalls filter, EcoWave pump and liner. You are buying surface area, not a different system. That means the smallest one behaves like the largest one, just with less water in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall ponds are less forgiving than large ones, not more. A small volume heats faster, swings in temperature further and dilutes waste less. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one; it is easier to look after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rock is not included and it is the cost people forget. Depending on how you finish the edges, expect it to be a meaningful fraction of the kit price. Budget it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoi are the hardest test a pond can face. They grow large, they eat constantly, and they produce more waste than any other pond fish. A system that holds koi water clear will hold any pond clear, so that is the standard these kits are built to. It matters just as much if you never buy a fish. The same filtration is what stops a pond going green in February, what keeps the bottom visible, and what means you are not dosing chemicals every weekend to fix something the pond should handle itself. Koi owners simply notice it first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow an ecosystem pond stays clear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour components doing four jobs.

A bigger volume is more stable in temperature and more forgiving of a feeding mistake, so larger ponds are genuinely easier to look after than small ones.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How long before I can add fish?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Four to six weeks. The biological filter needs that long to build a bacteria colony large enough to process waste. Adding fish before it is established is the most common way a new pond fails.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why do ponds go green?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Algae feeds on nutrients in the water. A skimmer removes the debris that becomes those nutrients. The biological filter then grows bacteria that compete for what is left. Undersize either one and algae wins.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I keep koi in it?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"In the largest size, a small number.

The pump needs a weatherproof outdoor power point within reach of the skimmer.
