How come that you never have proper filtration for these completely overstocked ponds? Maybe collaborate with some koi guys who know their filtration or have been in japan before, its really not that hard to provide proper filtration with all that land. You need a mechanical filter upfront, a biological one behind and lastly uv, or you completely build a brush filter on your own, I think a lot of peoople would enjoy watching you build big filters which create amazing water quality!
