Nvm there is a small leak at the in tube to one of the pumps....draining it back down below the bulkheads to fix it. Might get it full Friday

well I drained the pond last night to silicone the bulkheads and redo the plumbing. Got all that done by 12. Got some more trim on while I wated. Finished the sump. Got a new 1000watt heater and installed the wireless digital thermometers along with a wireless mulit point air temp/humidity monitor. Also got the top trim 2x6s done that will edge the pond. along with the tiling. anyway here are some pics.

My sis came over to help install the liner

Laying the in pond tiles....water was kinda cold. lol

Heres wat it looks like tiles done. Looks alot like sand in person without the mess

both pumps plumed up


Drip tubes in sump finished!

And a quick look at wat it looks like now 1 week later

tonight Im going to trim up the liner a bit more, and install the intake baskets and pipe inside the pond. Than tomorrow im going to fill it back up to the bulkheads and hope for a xmas miracle in that none of the plumbing leaks.
