All my guys made it too.One koi actually looks bigger.

With the pond net my Spring cleaning should be limited to filter media change and some minor vacuuming.

I used a floating de-icer that seemed to work pretty well. I think my problem with ice was due to the netting. There's enough spray from the waterfall that it was able to gradually build up with the prolonged cold we had.

I'm going to try to keep it running all year next year.
