It seems like I was just complaining about the cold and now we are burning up with the heat. A good way to help your koi cool down might be to add an air pump and air stone to your system. Medo is one of the best air pumps made. We use them through out our store and we never have a problem. The best thing is there are no diaphrams to replace due to it's awesome liner piston design. Even if you have a big waterfall or stream it is still benificial to your koi and to your biofilter.
