    first of all it needs filtration as any other indoor tank would. all koi ponds i’ve seen (which aren’t really that many) have been lined and not tiled. as for depth, i would go as deep as possible, less than 3ft can mean the fish perish in the winter, they need the depth to hibernate.

    This all depends. What zone do you live in? How cold does it get in the winter and how warm in the summer? How many koi would you like to put in it? Would you like to put some plants in it (koi generally eat all plants, but there are a couple ways to avoid that)? How much time are you willing to put in it? How much space do you have? What is your budget?
