A few people have asked about the indoor baby koi pond setup that I have. This is "version 2" with "version 1" being a Key Largo shaped pond that did not work well (not deep enough, pump was not operating at maximum efficiency and water circulation was bad). The pond is in the basement of my house, which is plain concrete.

The "pond" itself is a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank with a 1 1/2" bottom drain. I bought it from a local farm store for $220 (with tax). The container measures 69"W x 63.25"L x 25"H. It fit through my old house's doors without a problem.

Here is a picture of the system as you come down the stairs into the basement.
