Max, Koi aren't necessarily in the works, maybe a few, but not mandated. I'm more thinking the landscaping. Fish will likely end up being whatever seems the hardiest around here. We won't likely do much fishing for them, more for snorkeling and swimming with them. End goal is clear water throughout (likely a tiered waterfall system to promote good filtering through plants) to swim around in. Similar to the pictures seen here.

highflyer, I moved up here from Cincinnati about 20 years ago and thought little of it until I lived here for a while. Now I love it. It's a real city with things to do, though I rarely want to participate in those things, and there isn't traffic problems. I live out in the country but I'm 10 minutes from anything. All without spending a billion dollars.

Snort Coffee is a podcast about goofy stuff. Hope to add ponding to my list of hobbies.
