[quote][i]Originally posted by drunkenfool[/i] It's so hard to put a figure on it because it was done in a few stages but I think the bulding materials for the current pond came to around £3k including the glass, and there was already a big hole in the ground to start with so you would either have to dig by hand or budget for digger hire too. We got the filtration system second hand after having spent a couple of months browsing ebay and koi forums looking for suitable things and then van hire etc to go and get them. If you wanted to buy new though then you would need to budget around £5,000 for the setup we have (hence buying 2nd hand) Then there is the issue of lighting, you could either not light it at all and save loads of money or spend up to a few hundred quid depending on what you want really. Lastly there is the cost of the fish but again it all depends what you want - you can chuck in a few "Grade A" koi in there and a few goldfish (ebay is actually a great place for both!) and see change from £500, or if you want large show quality koi then be prepared to spend £500++ per fish (The showa that we were given by our neighbour was valued at £1750!)
