Koi & Goldfish

Beginning May 1^st(or earlier if the weather allows), we stock our outdoor fish tanks with a rainbow of koi and goldfish of several different sizes and varieties. These high-quality fish are beautiful, vibrant, and friendly. If you’re looking for something specific, we will special order for you!

Did you know?

A good rule of thumb when adding fish to your pond…keep in mind your pond size.

Generally speaking, keep your fish load to 1” of fish for every 10 gallons of pond water. There IS such a thing as having too many fish! For example, if you have a 1000 gallon pond, try not to let your fish load be more than 100” of fish. That gives you about ten koi or goldfish at 10” each. Having more than this will increase the ammonia in your pond, and also the amount of maintenance you will have to perform due to the added fish waste.

How to calculate pond water volume:

Keeping it simple, some guidelines:

Square or Rectangle: Length X Width X Average Depth X 7.48 = Gallons
Circle: 3.14 x Radius X Radius X Average Depth X 7.48 = Gallons
Irregular Shape: Average Length X Average Width X Average Depth X 7.48 = Gallons

For irregularly shaped ponds, you can also divide the pond up into sections. For example, a kidney-shaped pond could resemble two circles pushed together. Make the calculations and add them up to arrive at the total number of gallons of water in the pond.

**It is best to err on the low side so that you do not over-treat the body of water.

IT ALL ADDS UP

Conserve water, save energy, and reduce chemical usage all while adding a layer of safety to your pool with an automatic cover from Cover-Pools.

Eliminate Evaporation by 94%^*

An automatic pool cover makes the pool drought-resistant by preserving water, a precious resource. With this new addition, you can cut water loss due to evaporation by as much as 94% — helping you save on average over 24,000 gallons(2) of water per year — and in effect, save money in the long run.

Reduce Operating Costs by up to 70%^**

A pool cover collects heat from the sun and retains heat from pool heaters, keeping your pool warm and saving an average of $2,000 per year on operating costs.

Cut Chemicals by 60%^**

By preventing evaporation and keeping debris out, a pool cover significantly reduces a pool’s chemical needs, such as chlorine, by up to 60% so not only do chemicals last longer, but you will not need to use them as frequently.
