Hey,
New to site, and thought I'd share this pond I built about 6-7 months back. It's 9x9 feet and 34" deep in the middle which is about a 4x4 area, then the rest is roughly 18-23" deep. It's contoured a bit with slopes and what not.
Stock is 6 Shubunkin Golds, 1 Koi, 6 Sailfin Mollies, a few Tilapia, countless mosquito fish, and 1 bushy nose pleco.
The "flow box" behind it is fed by a 1200 GPH pump that is fed through a pressurized UV filter first. The box is 7' long 18" wide and about 20" deep. It's full of about 8 large bags of lava rock for bio media. The plants are in the plastic baskets from lowes for garden plants and actually fit perfectly on the rim so that the roots get water and the base of plants remain dry.
