Pond Design

[Rhea]

We're currently redesigning our patio, and my husband has finally agreed that we could possibly include a pond (a sneaky attempt to try and distract me from plans to set up a nano reef )

We're nowhere near needing advice on how we actually do this, but what I've been having trouble finding is a good place to find lots of pictures of different ponds so we can work out what will look best. As it will be part of the patio we wouldn't attempt a really natural look, but I'd like some plants and fish (koi if possible, but I want it to be something we can do ourselves and the drainage side of it looks tricky).

Anyone got any ideas? If it goes ahead it will be our first pond, and I want to get it right.
Thanks for all your help.

so you're wanting a formal pond
