Q: How often should I change koi pond water?

• <div><p>A good rule of thumb is to change 5% to 15% of your koi pon&rsquo;s water every week. Partial water changes help keep your koi healthy, and replacing small amounts at a time prevents causing stress for the fish.</p></div>

Q: What are some creative ideas for repurposing the area where the pool was?

• <div><p>After you fill in your pool, you can add trees and plants that help stabilize the soil. You might decide not to fill it in at all and find another use for the sunken area instead. A few ideas include creating a seating area or garden inside the empty pool. Depending on its size, you could create a place to roller-skate or install basketball hoops for an unconventional court. </p></div>

Q: How many fish can live in my pond?

• <div><p>How many fish can call your pond home depends on the volume of the pond and the fish size. Your pond's filtration system also influences the number of fish that will thrive in a pond. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish for every square foot in a pond that's 2 feet deep. Another rule of thumb you can follow is to have one koi fish for every 200 gallons of water or two goldfish for every 200 gallons. </p></div>

Q: How do I keep my fountain water clean?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fountain-maintenance-take-care-your-garden-fountain.htm">Fountain maintenance </a>is an important part of having a clean foundation in the first place. To keep your fountain water clean, you can use a water additive designed specifically to limit scale, algae, and other buildup in fountains. Or opt to use white vinegar as a pantry-ready water additive.</p></div>
