Well garage is still a wreck lol. And the pond isn't setup the way I plan to have it but it is nearly full and fish in just don't critique my filtration or the temporary light too much haha! On the plus side the pond is very near or maybe at the water level I end up running and I can't spot any bowing anywhere!!! 
kind of hard to tell in some spots because the best lumber I could find still really wasn't all that flat or straight and my top capping isn't perfect because excess liner really made things tough but overall I'm happy and I think it's solid enough to hold. I did end up using a over kill amount of shims due to my unlevel floor but to my surprise I don't think my pond is being stressed enough to try and meet the floor I was surprised when I was still able to move shims once it was filled! There's almost 1in from the pond to the floor in some places 
I figgure I've kept you guys waiting too long so even though I plan to clean things up more and improve the setup I know you guys want to see something so here it is. I'll update with more pictures as things progress sorry I'm slow LOL
PS. please don't fish police me I know I've got a ticking time bombs worth of stock currently. I do plan to try and get rid of all the goldfish except for maybe 4 or so favorites and want to try and keep all 4 of my koi and my 1 butterfly koi I am aware I'll still be over the line with that but my hope is I'll be able to keep up with it atleast for awhile longer. I will take oppinions on this just not looking to be attacked be aware I'm not scared of water changes and frequent filter cleanings.
