Large Koi Pond Update 10.09.11 - Pondguru

I am in the process of removing much of the vegetation which has grown up around the pond so it is only about half done but already the pond is looking alot bigger without all the willows and large pond plants hiding all the edges.
The conifers have been cut back up their trunks to a height of about 3 feet so I can see under them and this gives no hiding places for predators (e.g. mink) should they decide to attack the pond. You cannot shoot what you cannot see.
The water is still all stirred up (like a proper koi pond) since the carp dig in the clay base so I'm seriously thinking of removing them to try and restore the water clarity - It used to be crystal clear before I put carp in.
